Audio Becomes Distorted When Imported into Premiere CC

[kaitlina35935886]

Hello,

I'm encountering a problem it seems several others have faced, but the solutions that were recommended don't seem to help me.

I had imported a wav file into Audition to edit. Once my edits were complete, I exported the mix down file and then imported it into my Premiere video project. The audio sounds very "tinny" and there's a high-pitched ringing. Figured it was my export settings. Tried again, same result. After several failed attempts, I tried opening the file in After Effects, the audio sounds as it did in Audition with my edits. Same thing when I play the audio using iTunes. So then I tried clicking on the audio file in Premiere and selected "Replace with Audition Comp" and low and behold the ringing and tinniness are gone. But as soon as I go back to Premiere, it sounds like garbage again. My co-worker tried importing the same audio file into their Premiere project, no issue, it sounds as it should. I've been looking through the forums and found that the issue most people have had was solved by adjusting their Audio Hardware settings for their Default Input and Output. My input is set to built-in microphone and the output is set to built-in output, which is what was recommended. For the hell of it, I tried messing around with the other options, and it only muted the audio entirely, or gave me the same results.

I've tried re-booting the program. I've tried re-booting my computer. I've been at this for hours trying to figure out a work around. I tried replacing with an Audition comp, I tried replacing with an After Effects composition. No matter what, the audio sounds fine until I bring it back into Premiere. I haven't had an issue like this before, and I'm at a loss as to what to do next.

I know this is late, but I was recording game footage in OBS and found that my audio tracks were doubled on import. Once I muted or deleted one, the audio distortion went away.

just import the same audio in different project file it worked for me

As of 2025, I am still having this issue. Even after matching the sample rate to the sequence settings and resetting preferences. This NEVER happened with previous builds.

What's the audio format, made by what? Details are needed to try to troubleshoot this.
