This is something I remember having problems with years ago in Premiere (like 2016 era) and it must have disapperaed as I upgraded my Mac computers... until NOW. Brand new, 2021 M1Pro MacBook 32GB Ram running Monterey OS and Premiere Ver 22.5.0.
SO many dropouts during playback of simple interview sequences (two cameras / 4 audio tracks). I have moved the media cache once, deleted the old media cache, checked that my sequence sample rate & clip sample match (they do) as well as incrased the IO Buffer. Same results. Extremely frustrating. I thought this was a 2016 problem gone forever. Here I am on lightening fast new mac processors with newest premiere version and I am having this problem. Please Adobe, make this a priority to fix. Audio should be an EASY playback item, it is far less intensive in bitrate and processing power than 4K video.

Hi Blake,
Audio dropouts could be caused by many reasons, so there is no one correct answer. Typically, it is because of one of the following:
I would be interested in the media you are using. Is it 4K 4:2:2 10-bit? If so, few computers can handle this non-performant format natively. I suggest you create transcodes or proxies. Can you test with an intermediate codec, like ProRes or ProRes LT? I hope we can help you.
Thanks,
Kevin
