Hi there,

I am using the latest Premiere Pro on a windows 10, very powerful machine and for no reason at all when I am playing through my timeline the playhead suddenly stops and I have to press space bar to get it moving again. It keeps doing this. I am only playing audio so its not a power or GPU/processing issue. It does it on video tracks too.

I have just moved over from Mac to Windows and although my MAC computer was shite, Premiere worked with little problems on it. I hope this is not a windows thing...?? Please help!

Today I solved this issue by just de-attaching a few devices from my CPU USB port.
How I found this?
I opened Device Manager and watched the device in that time I noticed that my Device Manager screen is flashing like a device is connecting or disconnecting from my system.
When I noticed this I removed all the devices, even the webcam and printer and my problem is solved.
So it occurs just because of devices.

this didn't work for me but deleting all my preferences did.

Hey man,

I was facing this issue due to my headphones not being plugged in properly, when an audio device disconnects premiere pro stops the audio/ video playback.

Check your ports and make sure your headphones are working correctly 🙂

the solution is: don t put the maximum level volume on your headphones

The issue I had was because my headset wasn’t plugged in properly, when u take out or put in a audio device premire pauses.

This problem is normally caused by a faulty microphone or headphones.

Try a spare set of headphones or check a web am, occasionally cheap ones are not recognized very well and can cause problems.

I'm having this same issue, I've spent hour searching for a solution. I Don't have the same audio inputs as in the youtube video sot that's no help at all. This only became a problem about 4 days ago and Its simply destroying my workflow. Using windows 10 duel nvido 970 cards i7 processor. Make no sense why it just started happening. Anyone have anything i can try. I'm really getting frustrated with it!
