John, thank you very much for your response. Your YouTube video was very helpful, and more importantly introduced me to your YouTube channel! Wow! EVERY Cakewalk user (including professionals) could find something helpful that they did not know about Cakewalk or audio in general. Well done brother! Chuck

OK thank you bitflipper! I'll give it a try when I get home next week and let you know how it goes. Byron, I have no plans to use the Realtek ASIO driver for any part at all of my Cakewalk setup. What works well on my laptop and was recommended by Yamaha (for my MODX8+) is the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver V2.1.4 for Windows 11/10 (64-bit). Somehow I didn't manage to see it when I was setting up this new computer.

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and saw a lot of posts concerning Realtek audio drivers, ASIO issues, etc .... I was impressed at the depth of the computer knowledge of many of the members! I am NOT one of those with much computer knowledge. I've been running Cakewalk for the past few years on a 6 year old HP laptop running Windows 10. I recently got a new keyboard, MODX 8+, and added it to my little laptop system with NO issues. The MODX keyboard also acts as a soundcard with 10 inputs (8 USB, 2 Analog) and 4 outputs (2 USB, 2 Analog) and works wonderfully with my laptop on Cakewalk. I just got a new PC and as I was setting up Cakewalk on it and somehow I think I clicked on WDM Kernel Streaming. I had a message earlier saying that the Realtek driver was not compatible with ASIO, or something like that. But I clicked it anyway and the computer sort of locked up with the mouse point just spinning, so I clicking around and somehow clicked a the WDM Kernel Streaming selection. Turns out THAT WAS NOT VERY SMART OF ME! ? Now every time I try to open Cakewalk I get the message (see attached picture... Wave Profiler (WDM Kernel Streaming) (Not Responding), and Cakewalk shuts down. I have tried reinstalling Cakewalk numerous times but to no avail. Any and all help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Chuck
