Hi,

I recintly updated my computer with new video card (Nvidia Gforce GTX 1050ti) and more ram. Now Adobe Audition will not start. I see lots of posts about this but NO solutions?? Audition pops up in my menue bar but will not open. I tried installing 22.3, 14.4 and even 12.1.5 but none of them are working.  I pay alot of money for sofware I cant use right now. Its so frustrating. Can anyone HELP? Thanks so much

 

I have PC AMD Ryzen 7 1700x 8 core processor 3.40 GHZ 64.0 GB ram, 64 bit operating system 64x processor running on Windos 10 Pro os build 19044.1645

Whenever Audition even attempts to start, it creats a Log file. If it fails to start then it creates a crash log. To find out more about this, visit Audition crashed - now what? and locate, copy and paste the crash log content into this thread initially, just in case it's something obvious.

Hard to be absolutely sure, but it looks as though Audition is having some trouble reading stuff from its Preferences folder - which might also explain why this is happening with previous releases too. You need to make sure that the path to it is correct, and make sure that you have Administrator rights on the machine. If it doesn't turn out to be that, then send the log to audbugs@adobe.com along with an email address and ask to be contacted.
