I just added an external wordclock and twice I connected the syncplate input to the wordclock generator input... Sigh. Anyway my A16Us shut down (red sync lights) and SFP read '---' for sample rate and it still took me an hour to figure out that I did the exact same stupid thing twice.
(Once with cables for 50 ohm, then second time with proper cables for 75 ohm. Thank goodness for Radio Shack cheap wordclock cables.)
Well, I slaved my Pulsars to an external SPDIF source, and when I accidentally shut it off Win XP blue-screened on me (memory dump). It has happened before. My own fault I guess.
But I wish CW could do something about this, as it's not really necessary.
It may not be creamware that is causing the bsod. Do you have a seq app running as well? I've flicked samplerates and turned off my external mixer (the sync source) and scope behaves appropriately. Doesn't do much good for Nuendo though.
Yes, the crash is probably an asio crash. If you have asio engaged by an app and you remove the clock to make they run, on any computer and with any card you probably
end with a crash.

You can set SX2 to: "release audio in background". I use this to change SFP projects, works great. Much faster than closing/restarting SX.

But it's annoying if you must tweak something in Scope while listening to the sequenced stuff....and many clicks more if you do it on occasion....but yes, better than restarting.
