Hello,

First time user of pro Tools First for a PC.
Having a major post-installation problem.
After startup, the program proceeds through finding all my Waves Gold Bundle plugins, but crashes after the dialog box advises that the Audio Playback engine will now be configured.

Also, when the program is starting up, I get a dialog box which is totally white/blank, but it closes itself and continues to the message to get ready to proceed to configure the audio engine.

I have installed 2 version of Pro Tools First, and they both have this identical problem. I have also tried without success by running the program in "Administrator Mode".

* Pro_Tools_First_2018_7_Win_103613
* Pro_Tools_First_12_8_2_WIN_100014

There are no subsequent error message of any sort since the program crashes,
-----------------------
below is the only log I can find in...
C:\Users\$username$\AppData\Local\Avid\Logs
...which is timestamped at the time of installation.

[1031/064823:ERROR:renderer_main.cc(207)] Running without renderer sandbox
[1031/064957:ERROR:renderer_main.cc(207)] Running without renderer sandbox


I have other logs...
ProToolsFirst_2018_10_31_16_16_35.dlog
but it is unreadable/encrypted.

The problem was caused by my NON-ASIO soundcard, (USB, Behringer UCA-202).

After installing ASIO-4-ALL, the config of the Audio Playback Engine (on first ever run), was able to be completed, and I am now experimenting with this DAW's functionality, so as to broaden the many years of experience I have from Cakewalk products.

Asio-4-all, (Universal ASIO Driver For WDM Audio), is available for free download from...
