Audition Randomly Changing Audio Hardware Settings

[dwhood]

Has anyone ever seen a scenario where Audition randomlhy changes hardware settings on its own? I've been using Audition for years and have never seen such a thing. This is, however, the first time I've ever used Audition on Windows.

Here are my specs:

• Windows 11 Home
• 64 MB RAM
• Using Audition 2023

Any thougths or remedies?

Is it Audition changing harware settings or Windows changing its default drivers? Are you using an ASIO driver or the Windows MME. I have had the case where updating the graphics driver altered the Windows audio output.

The Audition hardware settings keep changing. Not sure if it's a driver issue or not. I did confirm that all the updates have been applied. MME is the only method that allows me to record anything at all. If I switch to ASIO, I can't record at all. Basically, the hardware setting changes are happening in MME.

Clarification: It appears Audition is making the change.

Made a discovery. It's best NOT to install ASIO4ALL on Windows, at least not when using the Mackie DLZ Creator. I uninstalled ASIO4ALL, used standard ASIO, and use the Mackie ASIO Driver. 

All is well now.
