Audition crashing on exit every time

Report · Jan 26, 2022

Since version 22.1.1.23 of Audition was installed, I find that Audition crashes every time I exit the program whether or not a file has been opened.

For what it's worth, the contents of the latest of many log files are attached:-

Any suggestions anyone?

I don't see any attachment, and you haven't told us anything about your system, or what steps you've taken to try to fix it....

I'm having similar issues, but the crashes are intermittent, and seem to occur at any point. Further, they seem to leave no crash logs that I can find!

I'm on Audition 22.1.1, using a 2020 27 inch iMac, OS 11.3.1, 72GB RAM, AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GB, and I've tried clearing the caches, rescanning plugins, and restarting the computer.

Every time you even attempt to open Audition, it creates a log file. If it fails to open, this is is relabeled as a .crash file. On this Windows laptop, you can access the path to the log files directly from the Help menu, but if you can't open Audition at all, you can get to the files using the path shown in this screen grab - just put your user name in the bit that's red:

For more details, and to see the path for Macs, look at the last post in this FAQ thread. Initially post the log file text into this thread. If it's not obvious what is happening, then it's worth getting audbugs to look at it, but not initially.

Thanks Steve. I was looking in the wrong palce on my Mac.

Here's a log file:

And, after launching Audition just now to find the log file it crashed after I pasted the log into my post.

The crash reporter posted to Adobe, and here's the new log file from after that crash:

The second file hasn't got a crash report in it, but the first one has - and it looks as though the crash happens when the run-time tries to invoke a dynamic link path to Media Encoder. Do you have that installed on your system, and is it a compatible version - ie, installed at the same time Audition was?

Report · Jan 27, 2022

The second file was recovered just after Audition crashed and sent an automatic report to Adobe.

Yes, I have the most recent Media Encoder installed.

Thanks for looking at this.

The odd thing is I can get work done...it's as if the app needs to be kept in the foreground...it seems to crash when I'm not 'looking at it".

As far as I can tell, Audition's startup sequence shouldn't be trying to access Media Encoder at all. Initially I'd be inclined to uninstall Audition using the Adobe CCcleaner app (which gets rid of several things that a normal uninstall doesn't) and doing a clean re-install. If the trouble persists, then it will need to be referred on...
