I have asked this question in various places for over a year and all I get are lectures that assume I am doing something wrong and they often ignore the fact that I may have mentioned already having tried it the way I am scolded into using. Occasionally I can add an audio file of any sort onto a track in fairlight but not in edit. If I reorder audio tracks, I usually have to save and exit the program, then relaunch Resolve or some tracks remain inexplicably silent. Sometimes rebooting the program or the computer will solve the problem. I have even had mp3 files on the time line working, but then decided to not use them, then later decided I would use them and even though they are still in the master bin, they can be auditioned but will not go on the time line.

On rare occasions a wav file will go onto the timeline. Until version 16, my resolve studio would never respond to wav files in any manner regardless of their sample rate or bit depth.

I can have two mp3 files with identical specs Of bit depth, sample rate and bitrate, one will go onto the timeline and the other will not. I can load various audio into the edit bins some days, but not on other days. I really like Resolve for video editing but I find it very difficult to work with audio. I am not sure why but it happens all too often that people do not actually answer questions on this forum.
