Win 11 no ASIO | Fractal Audio Systems Forum

Let me try to clarify then. I select say the FX3 as my DAW USB audio I/O device, which is ASIO.

In win 10 I can play an already recorded song and that audio goes out over USB on FX3’s out 1 and 2. It is then returned to the PC, in (near) real-time on FX3’s outputs 1 and 2 over USB (no audio cables connected to or from FX3) and that audio is then heard on the studio monitors connected to my PC’s line out jack. Yea, I know it would be better to connect to FX3 out jack’s (less noise, etc) but that’s another discussion. Bottom line audio leaves PC on USB and is returned to PC on USB, to be heard on PC monitors in near realtime (minus any FX3 ASIO driver latency and internal FX3 latency). Therfore I can record my guitar or synth keyboard over (into) the playing DAW song and can hear what’s playing AND my guitar/keyboard.

Now on the same PC, no connections changed, I boot into Win 11 on a separate boot drive. The same DAW song goes out to the FX3 over USB (i can hear it on FX3 audio jacks) BUT it is not returned – or more accurately it [probably] IS returned over USB but it is not heard on PC audio line out like it is in Win 10. Ditto 18i8 and FM9.

I can play into the FX3 and the DAW sees the audio and records it, over USB, but I can’t monitor it in real-time like I can in Win 10. Except obviously, I can visually see the audio in the DAW audio track. That’s why I’m sure audio is coming out of FX3 over USB – I just can’t monitor it audibly on the PC in real-time.

Device manager shows all three audio devices installed and supposedly function. Checked all device drivers, etc. And all drivers are current.

I’m sure it’s some win 11 audio setting I’m missing/overlooking but I’ve set everything identical to win 10 (as far as I can tell).

Sorry if it sounded (no pun) like I said I could send and receive audio out of one side of my mouth but then said I couldn’t out of the other.

Again thanks for any hints, tips, etc on what I’m clearly missing settings/device wise in win 11.
