Sorry for the question, should it work now ok? Because it can still happen 
Today it happened after a
- VSTLive at “Generic ASIO” with onboard Realtek
- connected EVO8
- Generic driver re-initialised itself (I guess for including EVO8 to array)
- set /Devices/AudioSetup to ==>> Audient ASIO
- VSTLive (v1.3.2) cound’t hold EVO8 to change up sample-rate from 48 to 96k
- set back 48k in /Devices/Audio Setup
- hit PLAY (play started)
- hite STOP (freeze, “white death”).
If can I do something to help your work, plz don’t hesitate to tell me.
