SCOPE PCI on WIN 10 64 interfere NOW with AUDITION, AUDACITY

Post by bob4u »

Something happened in the last months, probably a incontrollable Windows 10 update:

Scope PCI still working on Windows 10 64 bit (with the known limitations), Adobe Audition and Audacity
WERE working correctly too, but suddenly withou any apparent change:

- Adobe Audition takes a long long time to start and everything is very slow, if I open "devices" it take 2 minutes to open the window... showing a lot of devices such as "Scope Speakers" ?!?!?

- Audacity all the same starts after a long wait time and finally says "no devices"

But even if I click on "speaker" icon in the lower right of the screen to choose the output device there's a strange wait time to show then a lot of devices...

NOTE: I configured 8 wave devices in the driver's setup

If I disable the scope drivers (I have 2) Audition and Audacity starts working normally.

Going in the Devices Management panel - Audio Input and Ouput, it shows plenty of devices such as:
- 8x speakers (Sonic Core Pulsar2)
- 8x SPDIF interface (Sonic Core Pulsar2)
- 8x Line (Sonic Core Pulsar2)

If I disable them nothing changes, If I delete them, Scope reactivate them again.

looking in the "events" tab of those drivers I see that the 12/06/2017 they were configured and started,
the same date I have found 2 Windows update, I removed them but problem remains.

I hate Windows 10 behaviour on updates, it does really what he wants when he wants without control. :x

Any help how to solve this problem ?

Are you running Audacity or Audition as administrator, in Windows 7/8 compatibility mode?

Same behaviour starting normally and with admininstrator rights.

Please understand that Scope, Audacity, Audition worked correctly up to a couple of months ago,
without any apparent changes (with the exception of hellish Windows updates..) now they have problems.

for what its worth, Audacity launches fine on my updated win10 64bit. Do you happen to have any Viocemeetere or other "virtual" audio drivers installed?
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
