Effects Rack Input Output meters not always working in Audition CC 2019

[staceyk28]

I'm having an issue in Audition CC 2019 with the Effects Rack input output meters in a multitrack session. When I first apply an effect the meters work just as expected, but if I save the session, close it, and then reopen it the meters show no activity. I can hear that the effect is still working, but the meters show no activity. If I remove the effect and reapply it, or if I add a new effect to the rack they start working again. It's only when I first open a multitrack session that was previously saved and has effects that I'm seeing this behavior. Here are some screenshots. First when I just applied the effect. Second after I saved, closed, and reopened it.

That's odd since it works OK here on a Win 10 PC. What OS are you running on what type of computer?

Thanks. I'm on a 2017 iMac running High Sierra 10.13.6

On PCs there's an option to turn Hardware Acceleration on and off, and this can affect all sorts of graphic display characteristics. I have no idea whether anything similar happens on Macs, but if it does, then it might be worth experimenting with. You find the option here:

Thanks. I don't see that option in my preferences.

For whatever it's worth I don't have this issue in Audition CC 2018 on this same machine.

Since we're pretty much a bunch of PC users, we may well need the devs to have a look at this...

Yes, super annoying problem that has bothered me for a long time.  Very difficult to see if you're pegging the input on an effect...

Which actual version of ASudition are you using? There have been at least a couple of bug fix versions since the original post.

Using v12.0.1 on Mac (latest is 12.1.1 - I'm always hesitant to upgrade) but I noticed today that this also happens on my PC which is running the very latest versions of everything from Adobe CC.

This problem still seems to exist in Audition 2023. I experienced it today on build 23.6.0.61 and found this thread in a Google search. Replacing the effect unit with in identical one brings the meters back.
