Key notes
A great number of users have encountered an issue when they wanted to use their version of Adobe Audition. The error message says:Adobe Audition could not find a supported audio deviceon Windows 10.
Alternatively, the displayed message is the following:
This issue can cause a lot of people to lose their temper, as normally, Audition would automatically select the default input mode for a new installation. For some reason, this doesn’t happen in some cases.
From the research our team did on this issue, it seems that the common issue that causes this error to appear is an incompatibility between your sound card drivers and the drivers that run on Adobe Audition.
In order to achieve good results, finding a compatible driver that works both for your computer’s input and output is essential.
In this article, we will explore some of the best-proven troubleshooting methods to solve this issue. Please make sure to follow the steps presented in this article closely, in order to avoid any other issues. Read on to find out how to do it.
What can I do if Audition does not support DirectSound input?
1. Update your computer’s audio drivers
2. Update your Windows version
3. Add ASIO4ALL driver to your computer’s hard-drive
ASIO drivers should provide a low-latency and high fidelity interface between Audition and your computer’s sound card, and so the error should not reappear.
4. Download the latest Adobe Audition version
Before going through any of the troubleshooting steps mentioned below, make sure that the root of the problem isn’t just an old Adobe Audition installation.
That being said, always remember to keep your program updated, especially if you are still using a version from the pre-CC era.
Adobe Audition is fourteen years old and was designed to function correctly on any operating system that was available at the time.
By gettingthe latest version, you will benefit from all of the latest features and updates, along with all the fixes that were implemented in the meantime.
It’s almost surprising that it works at all on much newer ones, and its compatibility with Windows 10 is, to say the least, sketchy. It works great on some systems but refuses to run correctly on others, but not always for obvious reasons. Even so, having the most recent version can improve your chances of resolving the issue.
In this article, we explored a quick way to select a different input and output device for your Adobe Audition software. Following these steps closely will surely help you move past this annoying error, and will allow you to start using Audition at its full capability.
