Sound card related issues when docking / undocking
Posted: Fri Nov 09, 2018 3:00 pm
I'm having issues with Finale 25 (Win10) hanging when the active sound device is changed. This happens when I switch from a session where my HP laptop is docked to undocked mode. In docked mode, I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 as my sound device; undocked, it reverts to the internal laptop sound card (Conexant ISST). It also happens in undocked mode if I go from using the laptop speakers as my primary playback device to headphones (or my headphones become slightly disconnected).
The behavior typically is that I can see a pop-up in task manager, which I presume says that the sound device has changed, but I cannot bring focus to that window, no matter what I try (clicking, tabbing, etc.). I end up having to bring up task manager and kill the process. I also use Finale 25 on a MacBook, and I don't have this issue there.
Any thoughts / suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks
