I can reproduce it, but the problem is present when you remove all grease pencil objects too, so not sure if this bug is gpencil related or not.

@filedescriptor I can reproduce, but I cannot stop the program to see where is doing the loop.. can you try?

I cannot reproduce the issue. Scrubbing the timeline works fine for me.

I have tested opening the file in 2.92, removing all objects (empty file) and opening in 2.93 with the same problem.

The test file.

@LazyDodo If yo can, please take a look and try to find what is the problem in Windows, I'm unable to see what is going on.

It's a deadlock in the audio code.

main thread is waiting for the audio thread to join while it's holding a mutex

meanwhile on the audio thread:

 	blender.exe!aud::SoftwareDevice::lock() Line 912	C++

it's stuck waiting for this lock


	lock();

	mix((data_t*)buffer, length);

	unlock();

deadlock ensures

If this bug bit you, you can work around the issue by selecting any other audio subsystem in the preferences but "WASAPI"

@LazyDodo just to get an idea of what is triggering it, could you try disabling Audio Scrubbing in the Playback Menu?
