Hi,
when arming and then trying to record an audio track I get the error message: "Unable to open audio record device. Device may not support the current project's audio format or may be in use" (see attached screenshot). "Soundcard" is onboard realtec. Audio output works fine!
I tried multiple things already:
Changing the audio format (44/16, 44/24, 48/16, 48/24) and also changed it accordingly in the realtec configuration
Wave Profiler actually shows for all of the formats above "OK".
I bought another soundcard (cheap noname pci express card) to have the output on one device and recording on the other. Still the same message.
Also played around and used both input and output on the soundcard or on the mainbaord.
[edit] I also discovered that changing the bitrate from 24 to 16 is displayed correctly in the settings, but the indicator in the track view still shows 24. See attached screenshot. Does it maybe mean, it doesn't actually switch to 16? And maybe my onboard and cheap soundcard only support 16? [/edit]
Still the same message. I'm now a bit confused and am hoping that someone already went through this mystery and can point me into another direction. Any help highly appreciated! (I'm a Cakwalk user since the very early years and can't rememver to ever have had this message. So I'm guessing I'm just to blind to spot the error ?)
Setup: Win10x64, ASUS b450 PLUS board (with realtext onboard sound), AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and a "docooler" pci express soundcard
Thanks and best,
Chris
