# DaVinci Resolve Audio Waveform Not Showing? Fix It > **Quick answer:** If your DaVinci Resolve audio waveform is not showing, turn on Audio Waveforms in Timeline View Options, enlarge the audio track, then right-click the clip and choose Clip Operations > Regenerate Waveforms. If one file still fails, verify that it contains audio, the cache path is writable, and the clip works in Fairlight. *Published by [TryUncle](https://tryuncle.com) — the on-screen assistant that teaches DaVinci Resolve on your own screen.* *Updated 2026-09-26 · DaVinci Resolve 21.1 (September 2026) · Canonical: https://tryuncle.com/learn/davinci-resolve/davinci-resolve-audio-waveform-not-showing* If a clip plays but its waveform is gone, don't start by reinstalling DaVinci Resolve. The cause is usually smaller: a hidden display option, a track collapsed to a line, or a waveform cache that needs rebuilding. As of September 2026, the current major line is DaVinci Resolve 21, with Blackmagic Design highlighting Resolve 21.1 in its current What's New material ([Blackmagic Design](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/whatsnew)). We built this diagnostic around the controls documented for Resolve 20.1 and the Resolve 21 line, so the labels should be familiar even if your point release differs. This is one of the recurring questions in our 100,000+ member professional video-editing community. After 7+ years of professional commercial editing, and teaching more than 100,000 students through Udemy as an official Udemy Business Partner, we know the useful answer is a decision tree, not a list of random menu clicks. ## Why is my DaVinci Resolve audio waveform not showing? The fastest answer is to check the problem in this order: display setting, track height, waveform regeneration, media, then cache. That order matters because the first two fixes take seconds and don't disturb the project. Use the symptom in the left column to choose your first move. The commands below are based on Blackmagic Design's Resolve documentation and its support forum, not on a claim that every missing waveform has one cause. | What you see | First check | Why it is the right check | | --- | --- | --- | | No audio waveforms anywhere in the timeline | Timeline View Options > Audio Waveforms | Resolve can hide the drawing while the clip remains usable. The Timeline View options include an Audio Waveforms control. ([Blackmagic Design Fairlight Audio Guide](https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/UserManuals/DaVinciResolveFairlightAudioPost.pdf)) | | The track is only a thin line | Increase audio track height | A collapsed track can leave too little room for the drawing. Resolve documents track-height controls in Timeline View Options. ([Blackmagic Design Editors Guide](https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/UserManuals/DaVinci-Resolve-20-Editors-Guide.pdf?_v=1757574010000)) | | One clip is blank while nearby clips work | Right-click > Clip Operations > Regenerate Waveforms | Resolve 20.1 added a direct command for recreating a missing timeline waveform. ([Blackmagic Design Resolve 20.1 New Features Guide](https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/SupportNotes/DaVinci_Resolve_20.1_New_Features_Guide.pdf?_v=1756105210000)) | | You hear the clip but see no waveform | Check cache path and regenerate | Playback and waveform drawing depend on different visible parts of the workflow. Blackmagic support specifically connects invalid cache paths with audio waveforms failing to work. ([Dwaine Maggart, Blackmagic Design](https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=90250%2F1000)) | | The clip has no sound and no waveform | Check the file's audio stream and channel mapping | A missing or unmapped stream is a media problem, not just a display problem. ([Blackmagic Design forum support](https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=41174)) | **A missing waveform is usually a display, track-height, regeneration, media, or cache problem, not a reason to reinstall DaVinci Resolve.** Start with the next section if the waveform is missing from every clip. If only one file is affected, jump to the media checks instead of changing global display settings. ## How do I show audio waveforms in DaVinci Resolve? To show audio waveforms in DaVinci Resolve, open Timeline View Options and enable Audio Waveforms on the page where the waveform is missing. The Edit page and Fairlight page have their own timeline views, so check the active page rather than assuming one page's display state explains the other. On the Edit page: 1. Open the timeline that contains the audio clip. 2. Find the Timeline View Options control above the timeline. It is the control that opens the timeline display menu. 3. Turn on Audio Waveforms. 4. If the clip still looks blank, enlarge the audio track by dragging its lower edge or by using the audio track-height control in the same view options menu. 5. Move the playhead over a section with known sound and wait briefly for the display to refresh. The name can vary slightly with the workspace and version, but the function is the same. Blackmagic's documentation describes Audio Waveforms as a display option in the Timeline View options, and it also documents separate video and audio track-height controls ([Blackmagic Design Fairlight Audio Guide](https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/UserManuals/DaVinciResolveFairlightAudioPost.pdf), [Blackmagic Design Editors Guide](https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/UserManuals/DaVinci-Resolve-20-Editors-Guide.pdf?_v=1757574010000)). If you are on Fairlight, use the same timeline view controls first. Then use `View > Zoom Audio Waveform > Increase Height` when the waveform is present but too small to read. The Fairlight Audio Guide says that this increases waveform height for clips and does not change the track's volume. On macOS, the guide documents `Option-Command` plus middle-mouse scrolling for waveform-height zoom; on Windows, it documents `Alt-Ctrl` plus middle-mouse scrolling ([Blackmagic Design Fairlight Audio Guide](https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/UserManuals/DaVinciResolveFairlightAudioPost.pdf)). Don't confuse waveform height with audio gain. A taller drawing doesn't make the clip louder. It only gives the visual shape more room, which is why this is a safe first fix when you can hear the clip but the line looks empty. ## Why is the waveform hidden even when Audio Waveforms is enabled? If Audio Waveforms is enabled but you see only a thin line, the audio track is probably too short or the waveform zoom is too low. Increase the track height before changing gain, deleting cache, or replacing media. There are two different visual controls that editors often mix up: - Track height changes the vertical space assigned to the whole audio track. - Waveform-height zoom changes how large the waveform is drawn inside that space, especially on the Fairlight page. That distinction explains a common false alarm. You can have a valid waveform that occupies only a narrow strip inside a tall track, or a valid waveform inside a track collapsed so far that it looks like a white line. Resolve's Editors Guide documents changing timeline track heights through Timeline View Options or by holding `Shift` while scrolling over audio or video tracks ([Blackmagic Design Editors Guide](https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/UserManuals/DaVinci-Resolve-20-Editors-Guide.pdf?_v=1757574010000)). Try these visual checks: 1. Drag the audio track taller until the clip body is clearly visible. 2. Zoom the timeline horizontally so a short clip is not compressed into a few pixels. 3. On Fairlight, choose `View > Zoom Audio Waveform > Increase Height` once or twice. 4. If the audio is stereo or multichannel, look for the small channel display control on the clip and switch between the combined view and individual channels. Older Resolve documentation describes a clip control that switches between a single averaged waveform and individual channel waveforms. That distinction still matters when one channel contains little or no useful signal, because a combined display can look flatter than the channel carrying the dialogue ([Blackmagic Design Reference Manual](https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/UserManuals/DaVinci_Resolve_11_Reference_Manual.pdf)). **Track height changes visibility, while gain changes loudness; never use the wrong control to solve the other problem.** If the waveform becomes visible after making the track taller, you have solved a layout problem. Keep the media and cache alone. ## How do I regenerate a missing waveform in DaVinci Resolve? In DaVinci Resolve 20.1 and later, right-click the timeline clip and choose `Clip Operations > Regenerate Waveforms`. This is the cleanest fix when the setting is enabled, the track is tall enough, and one or more clips still show a blank waveform. **Regenerating a waveform is a diagnostic step, not an audio-level adjustment.** Blackmagic documents the command in the Resolve 20.1 New Features Guide under “Regenerate Timeline Clip Waveforms.” The documented path is a context-menu action on the clip, not a project-wide reinstall or a change to the audio gain ([Blackmagic Design Resolve 20.1 New Features Guide](https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/SupportNotes/DaVinci_Resolve_20.1_New_Features_Guide.pdf?_v=1756105210000)). Use this sequence: 1. Select the clip that has no waveform. 2. Right-click the clip in the timeline. 3. Open `Clip Operations`. 4. Choose `Regenerate Waveforms`. 5. Let Resolve redraw the clip before judging the result. 6. Repeat on a second affected clip if you need to determine whether the fault is clip-specific or project-wide. If you are using a version older than 20.1 and the command is absent, don't assume you missed it. The direct menu item is documented as a Resolve 20.1 feature. Older versions may need to rebuild waveform data through normal playback or through cache troubleshooting, and the exact menus can differ. The regeneration command is also useful as a diagnostic. If it repairs the clip immediately, the media probably had an intact audio stream and the visible waveform data was stale or missing. If regeneration does nothing, move to the media and cache branches. Repeating the same command without changing the cause won't help. ## What if the waveform is missing only for one clip? If one clip has no waveform while neighboring clips work, inspect that source file's audio stream and channel mapping before changing project-wide settings. A single-file failure points more strongly to media interpretation, an unusual codec, or stale per-file waveform data. First, test the same source clip in the Media page or Source Viewer. Blackmagic support has advised checking whether the file appears with audio in the Media page and whether it can play there. If the file has no audio in the source view, the timeline is not the first place to troubleshoot ([Blackmagic Design forum support](https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=186323)). Then check the file itself: - Does the clip's metadata report an audio track? - Does the audio play in the Media page, Source Viewer, or Fairlight? - Does the clip show a channel layout that matches the track you created? - Is the problem limited to a particular file type, recording device, or batch of exports? - Does a newly imported copy behave the same way? The channel question matters more than it first appears. If a file is mono but the track or clip attributes expect a different channel arrangement, Resolve may show an unexpectedly quiet or empty-looking waveform even though the source contains sound. Blackmagic support has used the presence of audio tracks in the Media page metadata as a first diagnostic for clips whose audio is missing ([Blackmagic Design forum support](https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=41174)). Do not solve a channel-mapping problem by raising the clip gain. Gain can make a valid quiet signal easier to see, but it can't create a missing channel. Open the clip's attributes, inspect the audio tab, and confirm that the channel you need is enabled and routed to the expected track. If the file plays in the Source Viewer but not on the timeline, use `Regenerate Waveforms` before you transcode anything. If it fails in every Resolve view, test a short known-good WAV or a video file with embedded audio in the same project. That comparison tells you whether the issue follows the project or follows the media. ## Why do I hear audio but see no waveform in DaVinci Resolve? Hearing audio while seeing no waveform means Resolve can decode and play at least some audio, but the waveform display, waveform data, or the selected channel may still be wrong. Check the meters and the clip in Fairlight before assuming the file is corrupt. The meters answer a different question from the waveform. Meters show current level during playback. A waveform is a visual representation drawn across time. The first can work while the second is hidden, too small, stale, or being drawn from a different channel view. Use this split test: 1. Play the clip and watch the track or bus meters. 2. Open the same timeline in Fairlight. 3. Make the audio track tall and increase waveform height. 4. Compare the waveform with the sound you hear at the same playhead position. 5. If the meters move but the waveform stays blank, regenerate the waveform and check cache. 6. If the meters do not move, inspect mute, solo, routing, channel mapping, and the source file. If your meters are also stuck, use our guide to [DaVinci Resolve Audio Meters Not Moving](https://tryuncle.com/learn/davinci-resolve/davinci-resolve-audio-meters-not-moving). That is a different failure branch, and treating it as a drawing problem can waste time. If you hear clicks, pops, or dropouts rather than silence, the missing drawing may be a symptom of a wider playback issue. The focused checks in [DaVinci Resolve Audio Crackling and Popping During Playback](https://tryuncle.com/learn/davinci-resolve/davinci-resolve-audio-crackling-and-popping-during-playback) will help you separate waveform display from audio performance. **Audio playback, audio meters, and waveform drawing are related checks, but they are not the same check.** This is why “I can hear it” narrows the diagnosis but doesn't finish it. It rules out some media failures. It does not prove that the timeline's waveform data is present or that the right channel is being drawn. ## Can cache, proxies, or a network drive prevent the waveform from appearing? Yes, a bad or unwritable cache location can stop waveform data from working, and a proxy or network workflow can make the diagnosis harder. Check the cache path first, then test a local copy of the affected media without changing the whole project. Blackmagic Design support has given a specific cache check for missing waveforms: in Resolve Preferences, inspect the first path under the media-storage settings and make sure it is valid and writable. The support reply says that if the path is invalid and Resolve reports cache or stills errors, audio waveforms will not work ([Dwaine Maggart, Blackmagic Design](https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=90250%2F1000)). Do this safely: 1. Save the project. 2. Open Resolve Preferences and locate the configured cache or media-storage path. 3. Confirm that the drive is connected, has free space, and is writable by your operating-system account. 4. If the path points to a disconnected external or network volume, set a valid local working location for the test. 5. Reopen the project and regenerate the affected clip's waveform. Avoid deleting an entire cache folder as your first move. Cache folders can contain other generated data, and a blanket cleanup can create a long rebuild without proving that the waveform was the actual problem. If you need to locate the exact cache folders on your operating system, see [Where to Find DaVinci Resolve Cache Files on Mac and Windows](https://tryuncle.com/learn/davinci-resolve/where-to-find-davinci-resolve-cache) before removing anything. Proxies deserve a separate test. Disable proxy use temporarily, or make a small test timeline with the original source clip, and compare the waveform. If the original shows a waveform but the proxy path does not, the problem is in the proxy or its relationship to the source, not the audio display checkbox. Network media adds another variable because both the source file and the cache location can be remote. Don't turn that into a universal rule that network storage is unsupported. Instead, copy one affected clip to a local drive, import it into a test project, and compare. One controlled copy tells you more than repeatedly reopening the same project. ## What if the waveform disappeared after a Resolve update or timeline change? Treat a post-update disappearance as a version or timeline-state problem only after the basic display and regeneration checks fail. Resolve has had historical waveform bugs and forum reports around stacked or nested timelines, but an old report is not proof that your current Resolve 21.1 project has the same bug. The distinction matters. A Blackmagic forum thread about Resolve 16 reported waveforms disappearing in stacked timelines, while a separate thread from 2025 described a missing waveform in a nested timeline in Resolve 20. Those reports establish that timeline structure can be a useful test case, not that every missing waveform is a confirmed software defect ([Resolve 16 forum report](https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?p=508255&t=91050), [Resolve 20 nested-timeline report](https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=223563)). Use a small isolation test: 1. Create a new timeline in the same project. 2. Add one known-good audio clip and one affected clip. 3. Enable Audio Waveforms and make the track tall. 4. Regenerate the affected clip. 5. Compare a normal clip, a nested timeline, a compound clip, and the original source if your edit uses all four. If the waveform appears in a fresh timeline, the original timeline state is part of the problem. If it fails everywhere, inspect media and cache. If it appears in Fairlight but not Edit, the issue is page-specific display state. If it fails on every test clip in every page, save a copy of the project and document the Resolve version, operating system, media type, and cache location before contacting Blackmagic support. Keep the version line in your notes. DaVinci Resolve 21 is the current major release listed by Blackmagic in September 2026, but the waveform regeneration command was documented as a Resolve 20.1 addition. That gives you a useful boundary when comparing a tutorial or forum reply written for Resolve 18, 19, 20, or 21 ([Blackmagic Design download page](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/event/davinciresolvedownload), [Resolve 20.1 New Features Guide](https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/SupportNotes/DaVinci_Resolve_20.1_New_Features_Guide.pdf?_v=1756105210000)). ## Why does my DaVinci Resolve audio waveform show a flat line? A flat waveform can mean genuinely low-level audio, the wrong channel, a stale waveform, or a display scale that makes normal audio look compressed. Check the meters and channel mapping before normalizing or boosting the clip. First, listen to the clip at a sensible monitoring level. Then watch the meters while the playhead crosses the supposedly flat section. The results create four useful branches: | Meters | Sound | Likely meaning | Next action | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Moving | Audible | The waveform drawing or scale is the problem | Increase track and waveform height, then regenerate | | Moving | Very quiet | The source may be recorded at a low level | Inspect gain and channel mapping, then decide whether to adjust level | | Not moving | Silent | Mute, routing, missing stream, or wrong channel | Check clip attributes, track controls, and source metadata | | Moving on another channel | Silent on the selected channel | The visible channel is not carrying the useful signal | Switch channel view or remap the clip | Some recordings put useful audio on only one channel. A channel-combining view can hide that detail, while an individual-channel view can reveal the speech or music you expected. Resolve's audio documentation describes switching between a single averaged waveform and individual waveforms for multichannel clips ([Blackmagic Design Reference Manual](https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/UserManuals/DaVinci_Resolve_11_Reference_Manual.pdf)). Don't normalize as a visibility fix. Normalization changes level. It doesn't repair a missing waveform cache, a hidden display option, an absent audio stream, or a channel routed away from the track. Regenerate first, then change level only when the audio itself needs level correction. Blackmagic Design support once summarized a waveform report with the short answer, “That's not normal.” The reply came from Dwaine Maggart, identified on the official forum as Blackmagic Design DaVinci Support, in a thread where an editor reported audio tracks showing only a thin white line ([Dwaine Maggart, Blackmagic Design](https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=192385)). That is a useful standard: a blank waveform is not an intended replacement for a healthy audio clip, so keep isolating the cause instead of learning to work around it. ## How can I check the source file without damaging my project? The safest source check is a one-clip comparison in a new timeline or test project, using a copy of the media and no destructive edits. This separates the source file from the project database, timeline structure, cache, and page display. Create a small test with four items: - The affected source file. - A short WAV that you know contains sound. - A video clip with embedded audio from the same camera or recorder, if available. - The affected clip after you make a fresh copy or relink it from a local folder. For each item, check the Media page, Source Viewer, Edit timeline, and Fairlight. You don't need a full edit. You need four observations recorded against the same clip: does Resolve list an audio stream, does it play, do the meters move, and does the waveform draw? This is also where file-type comparisons help. Don't conclude that a particular extension is broken from one file. Compare two files with the same extension from different sources, then compare one file from a different extension. A recording can have a familiar extension and still carry an unusual channel layout, damaged metadata, or an audio stream Resolve cannot interpret correctly. If the local copy works and the original path fails, keep the original project intact and investigate storage or permissions. If both fail but a known-good WAV works, investigate the source file. If every file fails, return to display, cache, and version checks. When you report the problem to support, include the exact Resolve version, whether you use Free or Studio, your operating system, the media container and audio format, where the media lives, where the cache lives, and whether Fairlight shows the waveform. Those details make the report testable. “The waveform is missing” alone leaves too many branches open. **The fastest waveform diagnosis compares one broken clip with one known-good clip in a clean test timeline.** That test is small enough to run before a long export or a major project cleanup. It also gives you a safe point of reference if you need to return to the original timeline. ## Should I use Fairlight, official training, or an app that helps me while using DaVinci Resolve? Use Fairlight and the official manual for solving the immediate audio problem, then choose a learning tool based on whether you want a curriculum, a video explanation, automation, or a pointer to the control on your own screen. Blackmagic's official Resolve training is a legitimate free starting point, and Casey Faris's long-form Resolve course is useful when you want a guided overview ([Blackmagic Design training](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/training), [Casey Faris](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCDVcQIA3UM)). The tools below do different jobs. Treating them as interchangeable creates the same confusion as treating meters and waveforms as interchangeable. | Resource or tool | Best fit | What it does | Trade-off for this waveform problem | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Blackmagic Design training | A structured foundation | Official lessons and project-based Resolve training | It won't see your current timeline or point to a missing setting in your project | | Casey Faris | A guided video walkthrough | Long-form video teaching across Resolve pages, including Fairlight | You still pause, search, and map the lesson to your interface | | Sottocut | Resolve editing automation on supported Macs | Its site describes a local-first assistant editor that proposes and verifies cuts inside Resolve | It is an editor, not a waveform display diagnostician; its listed requirements include Apple Silicon, macOS 14+, and Resolve Studio 21 ([Sottocut](https://www.sottocut.com/)) | | CutAgent | Natural-language editing automation | Its site describes an agent that plans and executes Resolve work, with Resolve 20 or later support on macOS and Windows | It changes or coordinates edits, which is a different job from teaching you where a display control lives ([CutAgent](https://www.cutagent.ai/)) | | Eddie AI | Rough-cut and media-assistant workflows | Its site describes rough cuts and round trips to Resolve, Premiere, and Final Cut Pro | It helps assemble media rather than point at the Timeline View Options control ([Eddie AI](https://www.heyeddie.ai/)) | | PremiereCopilot | Text-to-edit work in Premiere Pro | Its site describes native text-to-edit actions inside Premiere Pro | It is for Premiere Pro, so it isn't a direct answer for a DaVinci Resolve waveform setting ([PremiereCopilot](https://premierecopilot.com/en/copilot)) | | TryUncle | A stuck editor who needs the control identified live | TryUncle is the on-screen assistant for DaVinci Resolve on Mac and Windows. Ask in plain words, and Uncle points at the exact control on your screen. | It points and explains while you operate Resolve; it isn't a replacement for the official manual or a tool that edits the timeline for you | For this specific problem, the free path is enough: follow the display, track-height, regeneration, media, and cache checks above. An app that helps you while using DaVinci Resolve becomes relevant when the problem is not only this waveform, but repeatedly finding controls that move between pages, versions, or panels. If you want a live pointer while you work through the fix, [TryUncle](https://tryuncle.com/) can point at the relevant control in your own Resolve project on Mac or Windows. The decision is simple: use official documentation when you want a reference, use courses when you want a sequence, use automation when you want software to perform an edit, and use Uncle when you want help locating the control while you stay responsible for the click. ## What should I do if none of these fixes restores the waveform? If the waveform is still absent after display, height, regeneration, media, and cache checks, stop changing variables and capture a reproducible test. The next useful action is a support-ready report, not another reinstall. Record these facts: 1. DaVinci Resolve version, including the full point release. 2. Free or Studio edition. 3. Operating system and version. 4. Whether the issue affects every clip, one file, one timeline, nested timelines, or one page. 5. Whether audio plays in the Media page, Source Viewer, Edit page, and Fairlight. 6. Whether meters move during playback. 7. Whether `Audio Waveforms` is enabled and the track is tall enough. 8. Whether `Clip Operations > Regenerate Waveforms` appears and changes anything. 9. The audio file's container, codec, sample rate, channel count, and storage location. 10. The configured cache location and any cache or stills error Resolve displays. Make a duplicate project or a small test project before experimenting further. Don't delete original media, don't overwrite the source file, and don't use a global cache cleanup as proof that the project is broken. A clean test with one known-good audio clip and one affected clip is more valuable than a large pile of changed settings. The most important conclusion is also the least dramatic. In Resolve 21.1, a missing audio waveform is usually diagnosable from inside the application: reveal it, enlarge it, regenerate it, confirm the stream, then confirm the cache. If the issue survives all five branches, you have enough evidence to ask for version-specific help without guessing. When you are stuck in your own project, Uncle can point at the exact waveform control while you work through that checklist. ## FAQ ### Why is my DaVinci Resolve audio waveform not showing? Enable Audio Waveforms in Timeline View Options, increase the audio track height, and use Clip Operations > Regenerate Waveforms. If the problem affects one file, check its audio stream, channel mapping, and cache path. ### How do I show audio waveforms in DaVinci Resolve? Open Timeline View Options on the Edit or Fairlight page, enable Audio Waveforms, and enlarge the audio track. In Fairlight, View > Zoom Audio Waveform > Increase Height makes the waveform easier to see without changing volume. ### How do I regenerate audio waveforms in DaVinci Resolve? In Resolve 20.1 and later, right-click the timeline clip and choose Clip Operations > Regenerate Waveforms. Resolve rebuilds the visible waveform for that clip. ### Why does my audio waveform show a flat line in DaVinci Resolve? A flat line can mean the audio is genuinely very quiet, the wrong channel is mapped, or the waveform display is stale. Check the meters, Clip Attributes, and the same clip in Fairlight before changing gain. ### Why do I hear audio but see no waveform in DaVinci Resolve? Hearing audio proves that Resolve can decode and play the stream, but not that the timeline waveform cache or display is healthy. Re-enable waveforms, enlarge the track, regenerate the waveform, and verify the cache path. ## Sources - [Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve 21 download and system page](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/event/davinciresolvedownload) - [Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve 21.1 What's New](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/whatsnew) - [Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve 20.1 New Features Guide](https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/SupportNotes/DaVinci_Resolve_20.1_New_Features_Guide.pdf?_v=1756105210000) - [Blackmagic Design Fairlight Audio Guide to DaVinci Resolve 20](https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/UserManuals/DaVinciResolveFairlightAudioPost.pdf) - [Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve 20 Editors Guide](https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/UserManuals/DaVinci-Resolve-20-Editors-Guide.pdf?_v=1757574010000) - [Dwaine Maggart on missing audio waveforms, Blackmagic Design forum](https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=90250%2F1000) - [Blackmagic Design forum report on audio tracks with no waveform](https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=192385) - [Blackmagic Design forum support on audio file import](https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=186323) - [Blackmagic Design forum support on audio metadata](https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=41174) - [Blackmagic Design forum report on missing nested-timeline waveforms](https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=223563) - [Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve 16 waveform report](https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?p=508255&t=91050) - [Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve 11 reference manual](https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/UserManuals/DaVinci_Resolve_11_Reference_Manual.pdf) - [Blackmagic Design Resolve training](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/training) - [Casey Faris DaVinci Resolve beginner course](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCDVcQIA3UM) - [Sottocut AI assistant editor for DaVinci Resolve](https://www.sottocut.com/) - [CutAgent AI video editing for DaVinci Resolve](https://www.cutagent.ai/) - [Eddie AI assistant video editor](https://www.heyeddie.ai/) - [PremiereCopilot text-to-edit AI for Premiere Pro](https://premierecopilot.com/en/copilot) - [TryUncle](https://tryuncle.com/)
