Pro Tools 10HD - Switched hardware, now it won't start
I'm running the latest v 10 (10.3.19HD Win 7 Pro 64 bit, HD3 Accel), and it was good on the HD hardware. I switched to the Realtek sound card in the playback engine because I am doing some screen capture stuff and I want to capture the internal audio, and now Pro Tools won't start.
It loads right up until DAE, then gives the message "Pro Tools hardware is either not installed or used by another program." No other applications are running, and the soundcard is installed. Then it closes with no option to change soundcards! I can't seem to get past this and get to work. I deleted the prefs folder, restarted, and I still can't get in. How do I get it to look at my HD hardware again so I can get back to work? Is there a shortcut during load or something? Thanks. |

Thanks, I did try holding the "N" key down during loadup, and it gives me the option to choose my HD hardware. Then I hit OK, and it crashes. On the next load, it tries the Realtek again, and we are in a loop.

You would need to download and install www.asio4all.com if you wanna use the internal sound card on PC Windows. It's free and the driver acts like a interface so try that and see if you get the sound going

Thanks! ASIO 4 All allowed me to use the ASIO driver, then go to playback engine and reset to HD TDM, so I'm back in. Now I need to learn the ASIO driver setup so I can capture my soundcard's audio! I appreciate it, not sure why it was crashing, the "n" key should have done it.

Learn what ASIO driver setup? I would stick with ASIO4ALL (which wraps the non-ASIO windows driver with an ASIO wrapper).
But I am not sure exactly what you are planning to do. Recording audio out on a PC in Pro Tools has been discussed on DUC before, you can look through past posts. An easy way is to use something like Audacity to record the "Stereo Mix" windows device. And then just drag that audio file into Pro Tools. Other ways I would look at include taking digital audio out of your card if it has that into your HD interface. Nice and simple and just works... |

Sorry, I was hoping the 'n' during boot would get you squared away.
