Maybe you could try using a different audio card/engine,-holding the(n) key-while PT boots?

Its probably a corrupt session. Check the manual on "import session data". do that, excluding the tracks using the path spdf, and rebuild those after import. You should be fine. ff

I get something similar but I don't think it's a corrupted session i've had a few of them in the past, this is different I get this all the time in Protools 10 but as soon as I reboot and reload the session it works, i'm using an Mbox 3 in windows 10 x64 i'm thinking it's avid drivers that's the problem, I also get dropouts in windows when the sound just stops but if I changed the playback sample rate my interface starts working again. Only advice I can give is reboot your machine, it's annoying but it always fixes it for me.

So I just figured out why this is happening, it's due to a file ownership problem in Windows 10 the way to fix it is to install Take Ownership option you can find details on how to do that here

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windo...menu-in-vista/

it says it's for windows vista but it works for windows 7 and windows 10 as well, just follow the guide and install it once it's installed open your session folder and right click the protools file you want to open then select take ownership, after that your file should open without issue.

On Windows make sure your onboard soundcard is the default for Windows sounds/audio and leave the Mbox 3 only for Pro Tools. This may not be your issue, but it will solve other issues that may crop up.
