Layla20 soundcard outputs disapeard and swiched to digital, can't swich back.
I have something similar that suddenly happened on my desktop computer, (3.6 Ghz, 4GB Ram)
I have an Event/Echo Layla20 PCI Sound card interface(that has 8 anolog/2 digital inputs and 10 analog/2 digital outputs.) Today,for no apperent reason, suddenly outputs analog 9 and 10 stopped working in Reaper. (The analog outputs 9 and 10 still work for all other applications on my computer, only fails under reaper)
Anolog outputs 1 thru 8 funcion as expected, but 9 & 10 do not. After further investigation, I noticed that in the Options/Prefrences/Audio, in the output channel naming/mapping window, that outputs 9 & 10 have been changed to digital out 1 & 2 with analog outputs 9 & 10 remaining not visible. Under the Options/Prefrences/Audio/Device settings using AISO Echo WDM Drivers that come with my sound card, all 10 anolog/2 digital outputs are selectable in the output range. I have set anaolog output 1 as first output and anolog output 10 as the last output. This means that the digital outputs which are listed after analog out puts 9/10 are theoretically unavailable to Reaper, yet some how, reaper assigns A9/A10 as D1/D2. How is this possible?
I noticed one other gliche that began today as well; the spacebar that is used to play/stop Reaper's transprt controls became intermittently unresponive around the same time this began.
I was able to get Reaper to recognize analog outputs 9/10 and play sound thru them for about 2 minutes after changing the sound card engine to PureWave and back to AISO, but alas, during playback it reverted back to the digital outs and I am left without sound.
Obviously I could just use any of the other 8 anolog outputs, but this would be less than ideal, since I use those for headphone mixes and for external FX inserts. The outputs A9/A10 are for my control room mix fsent from Reaper's master send output (to refrence through the studio monitors/speakers).
I re-installed Reaper, nothing changed. I re-installed Layla sound card drivers to an older version, nothing changed. I updated Reaper, nothing changed. It would appear that the sound card itself is failing, but considering that Sound Forge and Guitar Tracks pro recognize and work on these A9/A10 outputs, I am inclined to think it is software related, and not a hardware issue.
Please note that I am runnig windows 2000 SP4 (yeah, I know it's old, but definately more stable than any other OS, especially with my sound card.) There is not any internet on this computer, so a virus is not an issue. This is also not a project specific issue, since it is like this even for new projects. I have checked and unchecked almost every single setting, one at a time to test, and nothing works. Rebooted, reintalled, updated, and still nothing works. It doesent make any logical sense, and its driving me nutz. Please Help
