Laurence, I used Audition 1.5 for a long time, and liked it. There are two things I can suggest. First,make sure that the sound you are hearing is really part of the file and not a problem with Audition's playback. Create the file using the center channel extractor and then play it with another program such as Windows Media Player.
Second, I was thinking that the center channel extractor did more than just combine channels, and it is possible that combining channels will do most of what you want to do. Try just combining channels and see whether it avoids the problem and gets you most of the way there or not. I think there is an item to do that but don't remember where it is any more, or you can probably do it by creating a monaural file. I had to let Audition go because I couldn't get it to install on a 64-bit system. It was more complicated than that as I had upgraded from previous versions and couldn't install one of the previous versions that was required. I wonder, though, if there could be some incompatibility with Windows 7.
