I just had this same problem and found your thread while looking for solutions. Don’t know if you’ve solved it yet, but I finally figured out what was causing this behavior for me. If you right-click on a sequence and go to sequence settings, the first entry there is “Editing mode”. go to playback settings / “Audio Output” tab and check “Use system sound card”. restart Premiere… and should work.. :),

I had the same issue (or at least an issue with the same symptoms) in Premiere Pro CC. For me I fixed it by selecting a different audio hardware default output (see screenshot).

Edit (top menu) > Preferences > Audio Hardware

I had to select speakers rather than the default to get it to work.
