Premiere Pro, all Playback devices are greyed out and none can be chosen

[Joseph Puma]

Hello, I have the same problem where Playback Settings is greyed out and i’m using Cs6.

I am trying to fix the issue where the video on my second monitor which is a TV hooked up via hdmi and when I play a video the aspect ratio is messed up. I used to be able to go into Playback Settings and switch the option for aspect ratio from hardware to software (going off memory)

but now I cant see playback settings. I use Cineform and create projects using their presets and that changes the playback settings to the cineform dialog box for opengl and such, but I want the adobe dialog so I create a new sequence using a DSLR preset and thats when the playback settings dialog box is greyed out.
