Updated to Ventura - MP3's not playing in FCPX and Logic

I just upgraded both macs to ventura.

I opened a project I'm working on in FCPX and the audio track won't play. It's an MP3, worked fine before. FXPX Recognizes this file ( and a few other MP3's I have in the library), it shows the waveforms in the browser and on the timeline but won't play. The cursor moves but I get no sound. I layered dialogue over the mp3 and the dialogue will play but not the mp3.

I tried to open the file in logic thinking I could just export it as a WAV but it won't import.

I don't get any errors, it just won't import into logic.

The mp3's play fine in the finder and in VLC.

Any help would be appreciated


EDIT:

Its not all files just some. And the ones that will not play in FCPX and Logic play fine in the finder and QuickTime player. I can export them in QuickTime player and then they work fine in FCPX but that doesn't help with existing projects.

I have MP3's, all the same bit rate but some won't play in FCPX. They play fine in the finder and Quicktime. Also, Im using a M1 mini and MBP M1pro max. So when I updated to Ventura, I was already 64bit in Big Sur I believe. Im running FCPX 10.6.5 now and I don't think there is a way to check media for compatibility like there used to be.

In my screenshot, I color coded the 3 audio files just for demo. The middle audio file was the OG that worked fine before. Waveforms are there, if I drag it to the timeline, waveforms are there but no audio plays. The first audio file (teal) was when I make a copy of the OG file and imported it again and made an optimized clip. It has no wave forms and does not play. The 3rd (blue) is the OG mp3 file, opened in QT and converted, Works fine but my audio is already chopped up and I cant just swap out the files.
