Stupid Sound Blaster Z problem fixed. Not a Reaper issue. Sorry. [solved]
So I haven't loaded up Reaper in a while as I don't do much audio stuff anymore. But I wanted to check on an old project in reference to something else i'm doing. So I loaded it up. and tried to playback the audio. But playback speed is suddenly sub real time. Like 1-2% realtime and the resulting audio sounds like it is time stretched to hell.
I've tried everything I could, none of my settings have changed, my computer has not changed since I used it last (Within the year). CPU usage is 0% for Reaper.(Nothing running in the background should be breaking anything. A system restart does nothing) Just trying to open a new project and hitting play is totally broken, the time code doesn't run at full speed.
Tried updating to the latest version, nada.
Tried deleting the Reaper.ini and let it auto generate a new one. Nothing.
Using 64 bit or 32 bit executable. Nothing.
Changing sample rates, bit depths, buffer sizes. WASAPI Exclusive,Shared,DS,WO. Nothing.
Changing the windows audio device settings does nothing. (Samplerate, bit depth, letting apps take exclusive control,etc)
The only thing that causes playback to work properly is using my Soundblaster Z's ASIO mode. Which is bizarre and unusable for me anyway for what i'm trying to do.
WASAPI Exclusive always worked perfectly for me and I've used Reaper on this Windows 7 installation with this hardware set up for almost 8 years and never had this issue.
What could have changed? I'm so confused lol.
Absolutely nothing else is wrong with anything else running except trying to run Reaper. Any ideas??
