Having to reboot after a crash - why?
Posted: Mon Apr 05, 2010 6:10 pm
If I try to restart Live after a crash I usually see this dialogue:
Audio is disabled. Please choose an audio output device in the Audio Preferences.
If I open audio prefernces and select my soundcard (Edirol UA 25), I get this message:
Failed to open audio device "Edirol UA-25"
The only way to get Live to open the audio device is to reboot my computer.
What's going on, and is there anything I can do to persuade Live to see my soundcard without having to reboot?
(This isn't a problem with a particular revision of Live - it's happened on all versions of Live I've used, 7.x to 8.x)
