You nailed it. I installed Steinberg Backbone a couple of months ago and I bet that installed the Steinberg ASIO drivers. Unistalled those and its working fine again (I was using the Universal Audio drivers for the Volt 2). Thanks for the help.

Here's a video of where it just loops this every few seconds. It's writing to the AUD.INI file each time it does this. Recording 2025-05-04 181802.mp4

Went to start recording today. Usually use WASAPI shared. Switch to ASIO (which I've done before) and it gets stuck in a loop when it runs through the profile and writes to the AUD.INI. The only way out of it is to end task on Cakewalk, boot into safe mode, go into Cakewalk and change the driver back to WASAPI, and then restart to get out of safe mode. I've tried reinstalling the Realtek drivers. Tried doing a google search and can't seem to find anyone with the same issue. I'm stuck because now I don't have any way of switching to ASIO to record audio tracks. I can record a screen capture video if that helps people understand the issue.

This is going to sound amateur and I'm just getting back into using Cakewalk again. Is there no way to use the SSL Channel Strip? I know Cakewalk has it's own Pro-channel. I'm not finding my Channel strip available anywhere for selection. {Please disregard.
