I can't get my timeline to play in multitrack

Report · Feb 24, 2024

Hi

When I opened Audition today, I cannot play anything in the multitrack timeline. I hit spacebar and the red line thing doesn't move. If I click the play button with my curser it doesn't play either. But if I click on WAVEFORM everything works fine.

I have restart app and restarted computer. I have gone into hardward and changed things (then changed them back when nothing happened)

One thing to note when I press play (or space bar) all of the "default stereo input" "mix" "read" choices all get greyed out on all the tracks.

Also as a test I tried to record on several differnet tracks and it does the same thing. The timeline curser doesn't move and nothing records.

I am on a mac running sonoma 14.2.1 and audition is 24.2.0.83.

I do NOT have an audio interface hooked up. The audio involved is on a SSD portable drive. (the same drive that has worked wonderfully for over a year)

Hardware Settings

Devise Class - Core audio (only choice available)

Input - Yeti Stereo Microphone (although I did unplug and swtiched to default and still wouldn't play

Output - System Default - Built in Output

Clock - Built in output

Anyone have any suggestions? I'd be very grateful.

Thanks in advance

If you start a new session, does the same thing happen? Normally this would be a simple case of disconnected internal sound device, but since it works in Waveform view, that doesn't seem very likely. The reason for asking if it does the same thing in a new session is because the only other thing that I can think of that might prevent playback is a corrupted session file...

Hi

Thanks for responding. I tried a new session and the exact same thing happened. It will not play in multitrack mode but all of the individual tracks will play in waveform mode.

Thanks for taking the time to write.

FIXED!!

So I unplugged my blue yeti mic and my headpones and changed the audio hardware to both built ins and it started playing. I plugged them both back in one at a time and it's still working. WHEW!
