[BUG] Element can't use Windows audio

[tarsonis123]

Win11 here. RME Interface and VBCable. I got two entries in the preference of Element beside ASIO. Once I selected any device for the Input I get the error "Couldn't open the input device". Yes, and why?
There is nothing running and exclusive access is disabled in Windows sound settings. I can not use the RME interface nore the VBCable as input after a restart with no apps running. Does Elements even work with Windows Audio?

Edit:// So now Elements crashes after opening directly.... If its not surprisingly crashing I can immediately bring it to crash if I want to select ASIO as protocol (not any interface but switching to the protocol type asio). Seems that the app is somewhat in beta?!

Windows audio should work fine, not sure what is happening here. Version of Element. that info is located in the about screen.

I'm also having windows audio problems,
Haven't had a sound out of it yet although the vst instrument is running,

[mfisher31]

Ok, I'll have to check it out in the latest dev version.

converted to issue: #844

[convinced-prog]

With all due respect to the developers but has anyone actually looked into this issue?
I'm sitting with a VST3 loaded and 'running'.
I have a midi monitor and audio mixer connected and to all extents everything is 'hunky dory'
Put simply. How on earth do you get sound out of it?
Is there a speaker output module as shown by a cotactee of mine on Mac?
What about an audio module of some sort?

Developer... singular. It would be nice to have some contributors or even be able to hire people. I haven't been able to reproduce non-working windows audio though yet.

Put simply. How on earth do you get sound out of it?

Connect wherever sound is coming from to an audio output node.

This screenshot is from 1.0-dev, but you'll have a similar item in the graph menu as well.

Is there a speaker output module as shown by a cotactee of mine on Mac?

Yes, if you're pre-1.0 it's called audio input or output node which is tied to the soundcard's channel count. In 1.0 and onward, it's the same thing except the channel count is user-specified.

What about an audio module of some sort?

See above.

Thanks, I'll check it out. sorry to hear you're on your own with this I have used it as a vst successfully however. I will perservere
