It was not so catastrophic on my system, but also just refused to record when Asio Guard was on.
Had to turn Asio Killer off and records perfectly :slight_smile:

Hi Jon,

i could confirm your issue…
It seems to be related with dual-socket processor architectures!
I´m actually on the very same dual Xeon-Setup.

And it´s a C8 only issue - AsioGuard with 7.5 works fine.

Cheers,
Oliver

Hi Guys any update on this dual Xeon issue? Cheers

simliar issue here on pro 8.5 and single i5-2500k cpu… asioguard is a full on nightmare when it comes to audio tracks that are record/monitor enabled and trying to switch between them. for sure a bug of some sort.

I’ve got a similar issue right now. Was there a fix for C8.5 32bit?
