I was having TD hard crashes whenever I activated my ASIO Scarlett 2i2 (1st gen) sound card via Audio Device In CHOP.
The device is working correctly in other programs, and Audio Device Out CHOP works. As a work-around, I discovered that if you install the driver for the newer gen sound card, it works in TD again, and the sound card mostly works as normal (unplug and re-plug if it starts crackling).
Hello, I looked into buying a Focusrite to test this as it seems they are popular but have problems for a lot of users. Then I noticed you have 1st-gen and its pretty hard to find a 1st-gen anywhere for a real 1-to-1 test.
In my searches, I found this thread where some Ableton users had a lot of issues with their 1st-gen devices and this beta driver they refer to fixed it for some. Wondering if you could give the beta drivers mentioned in this thread (1st reply) a try and see if it improves. Don’t know what we can test without a 1st gen device here.
The latest beta driver is the same as the current release. 4.36.4 - it does more or less work with the first gen 2i2. After a while I get a fuzzy crackle in the audio stream, but it goes away if I unplug and replug the device. Maybe tuning ASIO buffers could fix it? Have not had any TD crashes using that driver.
