No output device.

Hey!

I have a strange problem with reaper.... It loses the output device.
It occurs like this:

I am recording and mixing and everything is fine. Yet when I shut reaper down and reopen it there is no output device anymore... I need to restart my computer to get it to recognize it again. Thought, when I listen to music after reaper does this from anther source the music plays out great.

Could be different softwares competing for the driver. I get the opposite of that sometimes where I have to shut down Cubase in order to listen to reference material in another player. Next time it happens, use task manager (assuming Windows) to make sure no other audio software has launched itself in the background. If there is something, kill it and see if Reaper doesn't come back to you.

Awesome I found the contradicting audio source from task manager thanks!!!
