If you are able to start a session by starting Blank, you are fine. Its the templates that are set wrong.

Many times you will need to default the IO if you use a template.

Using a blank session is not a workaround, the templates are just there to help get you started, after you know how to use Pro Tools I can't imagine why you would ever use a pre-packaged template. Every new session I start is Blank.

What you can do is create your own templates and save them, that way they are setup exactly how you work.
