Hi Christopher,
You’ve probably found a workaround for this problem by now but just in case anybody else is stuck like I was for the past few days trying to figure this same thing out…
Make a copy of your project and work from that one (just in case), select only the audio on your timeline and then choose “render and replace”. It takes a bit of time so test it on a shorter section first.
It worked for me. I just went onto the adobe support forum and started a chat with one of their agents and we had it solved within a matter of minutes.
Hope this helps someone!
