Soundgrid ASIO in available audio devices ?

Hello group.

I'm having issues running CWBBL with my Waves Soundgrid Studio. I recently did updates (softwares, device's firmwares) in order to do some cleanup and use mainly Waves V13 .

But now, CWBBL (and my other DAWs) are not detecting the SoundGrid ASIO DRIVER. It is not showing up in the available audio devices' list in Preferences. Beforehand I could see both ASIO DRIVERS from Waves Soundgrid (and my Tascam us2020 that is integrated with my Soundgrid system). Not the case anymore as you can see below:

When selecting the Tascam's audio interface it is not working. (Playback starts but no sound can be heard, no VU meters are active and I cannot stop the playback... I have to kill CWBBL via Windows' Task Manager). This behavior was always the case on my system, But I just thought that since Waves SG ASIO driver disappeared I should just switch to the Tascam's asio driver. Did not work, as I said. 

 

Fun fact: when searching in Waves Manual for something I might have overlooked, I came on a section that was saying that in order to properly use STUDIO RACK for low latency monitoring when recording with a DAW, the DAW should use the audio interface's driver... Now I am floored as I think it never really worked like that over here... I think! Lol.

So, How are you guys configured regarding your selected ASIO DRIVERS in CWBBL when used within a Soundgrid system? My Soundgrid setup seems to detect all my components correctly, but somehow the Soundgrid ASIO driver that, I think, used to be available to the Daws is just not there anymore...

Posting some other captures... for context... not sure if really relevant though... Lol. Posting this I guess because I'm wondering if my setup / patch is somehow generating a clock-related issue that could make the SG asio driver "disappear" ... but I think it is very unlikely...

I'm monitoring thru the US-2020 computer out 1-2 (connected to my speakers).

Not often I’ve heard of someone else using Waves Soundgrid with Cakewalk. I’ve been using it for about 8 years or so. 
Make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waves Central installed and do a repair installation of your Soundgrid Drivers. I’ve just gone a full WUP and upgraded to V14 for plugins and the drivers are 1 generation behind at V13. 
Make sure that Cakewalk’s not set to look for WASAPI drivers. With ASIO selected close Cakewalk do a PC reboot and open it again. Hope that helps. 
I run a Soundgrid server IOS and a IOX connected via my network so have no experience using non-Soundgrid hardware. Hope you get it sorted. 
Whenever I’ve had issues with drivers I’ve always gone back to basics and followed the manual which I’ve linked below.

Thanks for your help! I did check out the  items you listed and I also went back to basics a couple of days ago and completely uninstalled all of my WAVES components and reinstalled them all again.

Something somehow must have went wrong when I first tried to "update"... Once again the "from scratch" approach  saved the day. All good now.

Regards.

Glad you got it going. I make changes so infrequently that I always have to follow the basic guide for setup as even after 8 years or so my brain still has trouble keeping the complicated setup clear. Only after major updates do I then have to "go back to basics" with the driver manual. These days I use it all so infrequently that it takes a while to once again familiarize myself with all nuances of the various screens in the driver and eMotion mixer where settings have to be made.

Cheers.
