Boy I wish I had scrolled to the bottom of this thread first… My issue was also resolved by installing Quicktime.
Very confusing because 5.5’s audio was working fine but 5.1 (The one I work with because 5.5 has glitches on my comp) suddenly had blank bars.
Oh! I’ll give it a try! Thanks! ^^
Does your boot camp windows have Quicktime installed?
This is needed to process audio files in the software.
Thanks be to God mine works with the Quick time installed. Phheewwww!!! at last

I have two sound layers. One has a fire alarm which displays nicely. I have another layer with the “Windows_Ding.wav” which shows as just a line. It makes me think that if the amplitude is low or if there is not much fluctuation in the sound, I wont get a layer display. Just guessing.
So I had the same problem, while I had Quicktime installed. That was driving me crazy ! I managed to make it work by going in the properties of my file and make it open with QuickTime by default, or even better, right click >open with > choose another app> click always use this program to run wav files> choose QuickTime.
I hope it helped !
Thank you everyone for the leads !
So I’m running Windows 8.1 and I’m having the same issue. I tried installing QuickTime but when I try to open it it says I need to install apple application support. So I try to install iTunes and it says an error has occurred in the installation. How can I install QuickTime if it isn’t supported on my version of windows?
Have you trying to find it on audacity guides? Audacity have a bunch of operating system, you can try to download it for free. I use that for many times and there is no problem I encounter of that app. https://audacityguides.com/
