Davinci stops playing Audio in Timeline

PostThu May 15, 2025 8:50 am

Hey! Since using the Version 20 of DR I have gotten some troubles with my audio in the timeline.

For several projects so far it has just suddenly stopped playing at a random point in my timeline.

I tried to duplicate the Timeline but still the audio won't continue playing. I attached two images from the fairlight section to see that there should be audio coming out... but somehow it just stops.

In my last project that this happened it was at something like 3:25 minutes now it's at a little over 7 minutes?!

Any help is appreciated! Thank you very much :)

Free or Studio? PC or MAC? Is it the embedded clip audio, or a track you have added? Is the video Variable Frame Rate from a phone? Also , post a pic of the entire Fairlight page as that may contain a clue to the problem.

I have the same issue quite often - the sound stops to play back at random chunks of the timeline. I think it has something to do with caching, because it may recache and start working alright. Studio 19.1.4, Win11

I had a similar issue.
This is the root case of my problem.

I used Audio Assistant.

Audio Assistant added Fairlight Automation (I had no idea about that) to my audio and faded out the audio track at the end of the video (using the A-A Level). The problem appeared after I inserted an additional 30sec. clip into my video. Because the Automation was applied on the track (not on the clip), its position stayed absolute.

I discovered the cause of the problem by accident and I believe there's no visual indication about having Automation applied.

After I discovered and removed the fade out in Automation, audio started to work as expected.

I founded some troubles on all version down to 19.1.2 (where I not have problems) with audio Ai like voice enhancer on track, if applied to clips work fine.
All on old project along different versions.
I clean up all caches, I build a new database, copy and paste all projects and I solved
