I too have the exact symptom as described on my very 1st launching of PT First. I don't appear to have any control over my audio devices & this will never initialize. I'm forced to Quit every time. Spent too many hours already just to get the program open which is when & where I'd normally select any devices in my initial settings/profile etc.....

My difference from the miracle cure above is; mine didn't happen & I'm left w/ a useless install.

I met all of the requirements, however I too am using a small 120Gb SSD as my "Startup Disc" for my OS w/ my applications & studio on separate drives. Still I have enough room to open PT First. It appears as if it's simply not recognizing any of my audio devices which all drivers are up to date & working fine in my other programs. Worse is I cannot make any device changes in PT as it asks & I'm forced to Quit....
