'Could not find the specified plug in to open this file'

I recently used Adobe Audtion to create a short audio track for a film I'm working on, it was supposed to be handed in tomorrow so I wanted to do some last check ups, but now I get a message saying 'Could not find the specified plug in to open this file'. Can anyone help me out, this is mistakenly my only copy of the audio!

I suspect that the audio file itself may be damaged or corrupt
Can you locate the media file and see if it plays in your PC's inbuilt audio player?

I'm afraid that we'd need a lot more information than that to work out what's going on here. Mac or PC? What plugins did you use? And is that an Audition message? I would have expected it to be rather more than a non-specific 'can't find a plugin' message.

I use a Macbook Pro (macOS Monterey). Unfortunately I'm not very tech savvy so I'm not sure what plugins I use and that's all there is to the message, I can't find out any further information

I'm sorry, but you really haven't given us anything to go on at all. But surely you must be aware of any plugins you used? You have quite specifically got to add them to a track - it's not something subconscious!

Can you provide a screen grab of your multitrack session?
