    That’s probably your problem. Premiere only supports very few audio formats, and I don’t think WMA is one of them.

    Usually, you will want to convert to wav before import. Try using a 3rd party player like VLC and save as .wav.

    Make sure you choose 16 bit 48 k, the quality will be identical.

    See: File formats supported for import in the Premiere Pro Help.

    Although WMA is listed as supported, it is a highly compressed format not suitable for editing. Rather convert it to WAV if you’re on the Windows platform.

    Cheers

    To anyone that comes across this thread as I did searching for a solution to this issue this is what worked for me – ffdshow.

    I am using a particular codec that sort of works in premiere but that I found was giving a audio conform problem. After installing ffdshow it went away.

    I installed version ffdshow_rev3631_20101115_clsid_x64.exe as this is a win7 64 bit version.

    Basically ffdshow decodes your video files within Premiere. It handles the more esoteric formats that people use – like wma etc.

    Just configure it when you install it (it’s part of the install process) to decode the formats you want to work with.

    Try it, you can always uninstall it if it doesn’t work for you.
