Default Superior Drummer 3 plug-in in Reaper throws ""Audio engine inactive" error

Hi! Reaper recognizes SD3 after installation and linking it into Reaper, and I can invoke it on a track. But when opening the plugin window, it shows "Audio engine inactive, check your audio device" in its bottom right corner, and obviously is not able to play any sound. This is while my standalone SD3 on same machine runs and plays without a problem.

Any suggestions as to where I should look to fix this?

Reaper: v5.965/x64 on Windows 7
SD3: Superior Drummer 3 plug-in version 3.1.2 (build 20164) [64-bit VST]
Standalone host version 3.1.2 (build 20164)

Plugin path: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST2\Toontrack

Audio output: Focusrite Scarlett 18i8

Thank you!
Nic (new Reaper user)

Hope you arent trying to leave the standalone version open at the same time as you have the plugin operating in reaper.... wont work.

Thanks but indeed no - not running both concurrently.

OK, so you open Reaper, load the SD3 plug-in onto a track and get the error message. Can you post a screenshot?

Or, perhaps you could compress a simple problem project file (no audio samples needed) into a ZIP file and post it here as an attachment so that we can have a look at it and see what's (not) happening?

Thanks very much in advance for your help!

I've attached a zipped project file, with a screenshot included. I can provide more screenshots if it helps.

Kind regards,
Nic

OK, so that error message is issued by SD3 itself. What does the SD3 User Manual have to say about that?

I do not have SD3 but I just loaded Kontakt onto that track and a MIDI clip and it played OK.
