Out of curiosity, what issues are you having using Smaart with DVS in WDM mode?
I get the “Failed to start device.” dialog. Screenshot below. Also screenshots of the “Audio Device Options” dialog as it appears when DVS is set to WDM. (First pic is scrolled up, second is scrolled down.) I normally check the options I don’t want it to use but unchecked everything in this instance to give it free reign. When I plug in a USB device (Sound Devices USBPre2, which supplies its own ASIO driver) Smaart works normally.
The other odd behavior is that, unlike previous installations of Smaart, this instance takes >1 min of looking at the splash screen before it’s up and running.
I can live with switching between ASIO and WDM on DVS but I really hate how brittle the whole Windows handling of audio streams is and that it never seems to get any better. I know many say the answer is use a Mac but that, of course, comes with its own problems and there’s the devil I know… Thanks guys.
PS: Smaart version 7.5.2.1
