At every startup: checking Asio-Driver

Hi,
I’m on WL 10.5 and installed the trial of WL 12 today.

Every time I start WL12, there’s a check of the asio-driver for every channel in 44,1, 48 and 96 kHz. I’m running a RME Raydat - so there’s a lot of input and outputs and this check takes 4 minutes.
WL1

Maybe it’s the old preferences from 10.5? No!
I de-installed WL 12, deleted the preferences manually and installed it from scratch without former prefs.

Audio Connections in WL are “ASIO Hammerfall DSP”

Any ideas?

Thanks and greets
grello

Click here to hide the ASIO panel, and the scanning will not happen anymore at each startup.

@grello, if you have an RME interface you should use the RME ASIO driver and not the Generic one.

Also, you could set the RayDAT to limit the number of ports it presents to Windows:

I have only one stereo pair configured, therefore that’s all the Generic driver will see (or scan).

Thanks, PG - this helps!

BTW: there’s no way to eliminate the “hub” and start WL as usual?

@MrSoundman: thank you, too!

Remember that every time you update WL or Cubase the Generic ASIO driver will also be installed.

This is a better path, open Win regedit:

Or just uninstall the Generic driver … it’s one of the annoyances of the Steinberg Download Manager’s automated installs … with the manual installers you had the option to not install it in the first place.
