Default Re: BUG - using N key for PB engine select with HDX cards installed

- Having no audio interfaces attached naturally PT doesn't come up, as expected.
- There's no way to select another audio interface with the HDX cards present.

Seems odd, I thought the N key method was the first thing PT looked for, apparently not. If the HDX cards are present they override the N key option.
Odd.
You may ask why anyone would do that. That's a separate question, suffice to say if there's an issue and you need to use something else, pulling the HDX cards is inconvenient.
Did I mention ODD?

Like the others said, need more info, but FWIW, 'N' key behaves as expected here (and on any other rig I've been on recently); I can always choose alternate interfaces by booting with it.
