Audio Working In Timeline But Not From Project Folder

[Jawunleashed]

Hello everyone! - This is my first post on the Adobe forums, but I couldn't for the life of me find anyone else that had run into a similar situation before. Hopefully someone out there is familiar.

App Version: Version 24.0.0 (Build 58)

Platform & OS Version: Windows 11 - Version 22H2 (OS Build 22621.2134)

So I'm working on a YouTube project, and I'm having an issue with the following situation:

• When I drag audio from my Project Folder (as shown in the screenshot provided), I pull it into the timeline and there is no audio. Typically I'd see peaks when dragging the audio in, but when I listen to those audios that I pull in, there's no sound at all. As shown in the second screenshot, there's no audio peaks and no audio during playback.

Now this issue in and of itself is strange, but what's even stranger is that I've used that SAME audio in the video previously and the audio/peaks are in THAT version during playback. So when I attempt to pull that audio from the Project Folder, it's not showing up, but the audio itself is still within my video.

• It's almost as if the audio was lost/unlinked, but if that was the case I feel as though I'd see issues with the objects I've already dragged into the timeline.
• Plus I've gone to the audio files themselves and can confirm that the audio does play properly whenever I open them in VLC player, so this feels like an Adobe project/file issue.

Things I've tried to fix this:

• Updated to the latest Adobe Premiere Pro application
• Completely wiped and reinitialized the media cache/database folder
• Checked the "Source Patching" A1/V1 options - Was happening regardless of either selected
• Tried to "Replace Footage..." multiple times with multiple audios in Project Folder
• Created a brand New Project and copied/pasted the project into the new Sequence
• Testing the audio files themselves by dragging them into a completely new Project
  • The audio shows up fine in different projects, except when copied from original sequence

I've been dealing with this problem for about a month, and I've been getting the older audio by going back in my timeline and copying and pasting them to where I need them, but this is becoming more of an annoyance and hopefully someone out there has seen this issue and come up with a fix. Until then, I'm okay with copying from audio already used *in* the timeline, but if anyone knows of any situation where this has happened before, I'd love to get any recommendations.

NOTE: This looks to be affecting about first 100+ of the audio files in the Project Folder list, and those imported afterwards appear to be working as expected. This confuses me even more, but I thought I'd put that information in there if that helps with this situation.

Does it make any difference if you are in list view in the project panel rather than icon view.

[Jawunleashed]

Nah it doesn't appear so, I just tried switching it to List View and the audio still does the same thing.

Try Sequence > Render audio from the menu.

[Jawunleashed]

Ah, yeah! I forgot about that option. Unfortunately it looks like that still hasn't fixed the issue.

• Created a brand New Project and copied/pasted the project into the new Sequence

Instead of that, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.
