Adobe Stock Music - Essential Sound

Report · Jun 25, 2025

Best community,

I'm not able to use the Essential Sound, Adobe Stock Music. It constantly shows '0 results', also in the free section. I'm a teacher and I currently try to edit video's for my students, but need the music to make the video's a little more interesting to watch.

Does anybody know why it's not possible to use the (free) stock music library? Can it be because my payed account is attached to a school Institute license?

Would love to hear from you.

Hi @JoostvdVen:

The first thing that comes to mind is that there is an issue with the network endpoints that must be allowed to access Adobe Stock. You can find more information here: https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/kb/network-endpoints.html

The times I've had to refer to that, I've always just forwarded that link to the IT department.

You should still be able to to visit https://stock.adobe.com/ and browse and license free audio tracks for your projects, but of course you lose the great feature of being able to audition music tracks before adding them to your projects.
