Every now and then, Cubase freezes and I am forced to close it via Task Manager.
When I do this Cubase loses the sound card I have selected and reverts back to Generic Low Latency ASIO driver.
I use a Roland Quad-Capture device to handle sound and MIDI.
I then do the following:
Open Device Setup.
Select VST Audio System in the devices tree.
I select QUAD-CAPTURE from the drop down list for field ASIO Driver.
Cubase asks me “Do you want to switch the ASIO driver?”
I click on the Switch button.
Cubase then informs me that “Can not found a device. Please connect the device.”
The only way forward is to restart Windows, start Cubase and all is fine, I can select QUAD-CAPTURE.
I used quad capture for almost 3 years and faced the exact same issue very often… never found a solution… i’d just resume working after a windows and cubase restart… quite annoying… finally found a workaround by using the quad capture’s physical ins and outs but with ASIO4all…
Have now shifted to an Audient ID4… havent faced this problem since…
