Unable to preview audio in finder Mac mini M1

Hi, I'm not very technical so my apologies in advance if this isn't as clear as it could be.


I work with audio and often preview it in finder using the play button. This has been working fine, I turned on my computer this morning and the play button has been replaced with the Apple Music logo and can't be played in finder. I also usually drag files into Pro Tools to edit them, this is now no longer possible either. I don't know what could have changed. Does anyone have any ideas?


Thanks

Charlie

It appears that the files somehow got corrupted.


Since Disk Utility/First Aid reported no problems, we have successfully eliminated disk corruption and have identified that the files themselves were affected.


Please mark the correct answer to your question as Solved to close this case. 😉
