My previews are playing in fast forward

So, I'm having major problems editing. I can import fine, and edit fine, but any clips I play in Premiere Pro are playing in fast forward with choppy audio. I've looked online, but it's really hard to find any results when the issue has to do with speed, all I get back are "How to speed up or slow down clips" but the clips are fine, after export things play normally, it's the actual Premiere Pro player that is the issue. The only people I've seen with this issue online seem to have fixed it in the Audio Hardware preferences, but none of them actually say what they did to fix it, and I haven't found anything in it that fixed it. (Switching from MME to ASIO seemed to fix the play speed, but then I had no audio at all)

My computer should have zero issues running... anything.

AMD A10-7700k Radeon R7, 10 compute cores 4C+6G 3.40GHZ

AMD Radeon R9 380 4GB

32 gigs of Ram

I really need to figure this out, video editing is a major part of my school assignments. Anyone have any suggestions. I've tried everything I can find.

Don't know if you found a fix for this or not, but the solution my boss and I found was to go into the Preferences Edit>Preferences>Audio Hardware and change the default input from the current audio device and change it to none. For some reason that fixed it for us.

Also for me, I noticed I had a Gaming Headset plugged in(via a USB). As soon as I unplugged & relaunched everything worked normally without any change in settings.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks! This did it for me as well. I suspect this happens suddenly when the input source is offline. In my case, I have a Spark Blue USB microphone that was no longer being powered by the USB port (for whatever reason) but still showing up as a device in the drop-down menu. Changing it to none did the trick.

Clean out media cache. Rename folder the footage is in and make a new project. Import again.

See if that will work.

Hello Ann,

I was going to make a thread with the same issue but I stumbled upon this. I've cleaned out my media cache, renamed the folder with the footage, started a new project, and no avail. I'm running a Mac Pro (Late 2013) on OS.X Yosemite 10.10.5, Dual AMD FirePro D500 3GB, 32GB RAM, 3.5 GHz Intel 6-Core Xeon X5. I'm running the latest update of CC 2015, with fully updated drivers.

My video in question is

Type: QuickTime Movie  (Apple ProRes 422HQ)

File Size: 131.82 GB

Image Size: 1280 x 720

Frame Rate: 59.94

Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 24 bit - Mono

Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Mono

Total Duration: 01:25:17:26

Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0

Now the issue I'm having is the same where the video plays perfectly fine in every other program outside of Adobe (QuickTime Player, VLC, etc) but when I import it, the images are fast-forwarded while the audio is proceeding at normal speed with the timeline. If I could speed-ramp the video portion without extending the duration, I would, but after export, the video is half-speed of the original while the audio is progressing normally. I need to see the actual frames I'm trying to edit.

At first, I thought this was a variable frame rate issue, but even after throwing the video in Handbrake, the issue persists. I'm all out of ideas, and clients are growing more frustrated by the day.

I'm having this same exact issue that you're having.  Did you ever resolve this?
