The timeline has 3 ungraded ProRes clips on it. I don't see anything going on in the project that should cause Resolve any issues.
The only other thought be that your audio file is located in your Downloads folder. If there is some other file or files in the Downloads folder that Resolve doesn't like, that could cause it to crash when it looks in that folder for the audio file. Might be worth moving any files in the Download folder other than the desired audio file to another folder to see if that's the issue. And if that is the issue, the Downloads folder is probably not a good place to use Resolve media from.
I've relocated the audio file from my downloads folder to my harddrive where the video files are located as well. It still crashed.
However, the project did load fine for a second. Then I generated optimized media for a clip and shortly after... it crashed. Thinking back, I did clean my cache a couple days ago. So it seems like generating optimized media for a clip might make it crash.
I now cleared my cache and tried loading the project again, and it loads just fine!
I'm glad I figured out the problem. But I do need to have optimized media cause my laptop is not able to play the ProRes in realtime (Macbook Pro M1... maybe it's the HDD and not the hardware?).
Fyi, the location for optimized media is in my documents where I created a folder called "DaVinci Cache".
