Audition is constantly having MME Internal Errors and I know it's not about Windows permissions

[Sleepy_Ben]

I've been having a constant struggle with Audition and my current microphone setup and it's driving me up a wall so hard I'm already considering quitting using Audition if I can't fix it soon.

The program regularly boots up with an error message saying that my audio hardware settings need changing due to different hardware, even though I haven't unplugged anything unless I'm packing it for a recording session away from home. When I edit the settings, it says that my Behringer UMC202HD is "not working" even though I can get audio through it and Audacity will recognize it as a working microphone. I know for certain that the drivers are up to date because I went out of my way to install it and I've checked the Device Manager on my PC to make sure that there aren't any problems with the drivers.

When Audition does recognize the audio interface as a working input, it will let me set the proper inputs for the recording tracks, but it won't allow me to record at all. The red line refuses to move and it will either freeze or allow me to hit the stop button, but it will not record at all. And on 3 different attempts last night, it caused my PC to blue screen.

If anyone has any idea how to fix this problem, I would be greatly appreciative. Thank you for your time.

First, and perhaps most obvious question: are you using the ASIO drivers for the interface, available from this page ?

I had to redownload the drivers several times because it wouldn't set itself up correctly for some unknown reason, but once it finally took, Audition recognized the ASIO driver and it's been working fine since
