proxy media and full resolution media must have matching audio channels

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

I feel like you should be able to attach proxies to full resolution media based on video and not just audio - I have hours worth of proxies that a DIT made and the audio channels don't match the source files so I can't connect them.
I can do this the traditional way, working with proxies, until picture lock, unlinking and then re-linking to full resolution media, however I'd prefer to have both on hand in Premiere.

Project Bin --> Select all the footage --> Right Click "Modify" --> Audio Channels, Select the appropriate number (I.e.: so if its 2 channels, then swap everything to left and right for 1 and 2). Then link it again

Had this issue today with Adobe Premier 2025 - so it's not been fixed. After various attempts heres what worked for me:

1. create a backup your project file

2. open your project file

3. right click your footage bin, click Proxy and click "DETACH proxies"

4. right click on your footage bin, click Proxy and then click "Reconnect full resolution media"

5. reconnect to the raw footage and your done

Hope this helps someone and hope adobe sort this issue out as it's a proper head scratcher with such a simple solution!!
