Just a guess but the fact that adding video makes it play makes me think there are frame boundary issues with the audio clips. It sounds like in the past when certain cameras didn't stop the audio clips of a file on an exact frame, sample wise. ProTools adds sample accurate edits to make sure the aaf I get has audio that ends on a frame boundary. IIRC the problem files could be made to work by making a subclip that took off the first and last frame and using that. Cutting off the 1st and last frame assured the right number of audio samples/frame which is important to Avid. Just thinking maybe that's something worth trying. Howard Brock did a lot of tinkering with this several years ago.

As long as you captured video as well, the exact same section of tape was fine. But it wouldn't work with audio only...
