Hi everyone, I'm having a bit of an issue with my playback. My computer will only playback audio with the WASAPI audio driver selected, but every time I switch from Directsound to WASAPI, it automatically switches back. Has anyone encountered this problem? Thanks!

Isn't WASAPI an audio "system" rather than a driver? I'm sorry if this is more of a question than an answer.

There are a number of these systems but what they do or why there are so many is not clear to me.

I find that Finale PrintMusic won't run if Reaper is already running using the "DirectSound" audio system, and says its Audio Engine can not be started.

(My soundcard is a CMedia 8768 which has its own drivers. It runs perfectly with Reaper & Finale SongWriter 2012. I was told that SongWriter 2012 is no longer supported, and I upgraded to PrintMusic 2014 as MakeMusic / Finale suggested. I think that both songWriter 2012 and PrintMusic 2014 are cut-down versions of Finale).
