General known issues

Unable to import .ape file on Windows running on Arm devices

Issue: The .ape audio file imports successfully in Adobe Audition on Windows systems with Intel or AMD processors, but fails to import in Adobe Audition on Windows devices with Arm-based processors.

Resolution: Currently, importing .ape files is supported only on Windows systems running on Intel or AMD processors.

Unable to decode Dolby audio on the new or fresh installs of Windows 11 version 24H2 devices

Issue: On devices running Windows 11 version 24H2 that are new or freshly installed, Dolby Digital audio (AC-3 / E-AC-3) is not decoded by default because the operating system no longer includes the built-in Dolby audio decoder. As a result, Adobe Audition is unable to decode or import Dolby audio streams and audio tracks embedded in video files.

Workaround: Adobe Audition does not rely on the Windows system codec to read WAV or PCM files. Therefore, converting Dolby audio to WAV/PCM before importing eliminates the dependency on the missing Dolby decoder.

On macOS, there is an issue with opening audio/video or sequence in Audition from Premiere

Issue: If you try to open an audio/video clip or sequence in Audition (Edit > Edit in Adobe Audition > Sequence), a warning dialog appears asking you to install the latest version of Audition (even if you are using the latest version).
