I’m sorry, but I don’t have any other suggestions. Just out of curiosity, I uploaded a sample project below which looks like this on my system:
What do you see when you open it?

I thought that I might be able to find an errant setting, but here is what I get when I open that file. Are you still seeing a blank grey background?

Well, I thought I would give it a shot. Could you save and upload a project file?

It looks like your Filter settings are set to “None.” Click on “Filter” in the View menu and select “All,” and that will bring back all of the options. You can then deselect the ones you want to disable.
After that, save the scene as new.c4d in Applications > Maxon > Cinema 4D R19 and it will save all of the settings. Here’s a tutorial which discusses this:

And here’s some more from that same developer. The last one on this page, the delete by index effector, will do exactly what you wanted in the simplest manner. Just add it to a cloner’s effectors list and enter the index of the clone you want to delete. Click on “Cinema 4D” in the categories list on the right of this page for a list of all of his presets.

And here’s a new Pixel Lab tutorial and link for a Take Control Effector that can be used for this and other similar issues:

Decrease the Gravity setting to a very low (or zero) value, and decrease the Velocity setting to a low value.

I suggest contacting Maxon technical support.

It would be much easier to diagnose your problem if you uploaded your project file, as Emir suggested.

From your description, and without seeing your project, I’m guessing that you are trying to apply the sound effector to a standard object rather than to a mograph object. If you’re trying to apply it to a cube, for example, make the cube a child of a Fracture object and apply the sound effector to the Fracture object. When set up properly, either wav or mp3 (plus several others) will work.
And you may need to move or adjust the size of the sound probe so that it is reading an active frequency range.
