Thanks guys, I'll try all this.

One thing I wanted to clear up though was that the performance of ASIO4ALL was simply erratic as opposed to non-existent. I had pulled up a file initally and things worked fine. I pulled it up again a day or so later and had the static over music issue that I mentioned earlier. At around that same time, I had pulled up an internet audio page (youtube or something) and was getting the same effect: static blasting over the music. I tried pulling out my headphone jack and putting it back in and then it went back to normal. Sadly, I did not do this with ProTools and instead fiddled around in Playback Engine and I/O settings trying to trigger a change.

I understand about the Fast Track Pro and I've had some issues with it that were pretty similar: When I was trying to video myself using it to record the audio, I got static similar to this. I would usually fix that by unplugging it and plugging it back in and that would clear it up. For the last two years I've been using the Fast Track Pro on another Windows 10 machine, but that was with Pro Tools 8 (which was ok, but it wasn't all that stable and I couldn't install new plugins, ect.)

Long story short, I'm not convinced that ASIO4ALL is the problem because at least I would get static and audio. I believe that I can solve THAT issue with hardware. My problem is I can't get ANY audio anymore in Protools and that wasn't the case when I started out. I can try and post pictures of my I/O and Playback Engine settings and maybe y'all can spot something? Thanks again!
