[solved] 8.0.20: Meters, but no Sound in .10 Projects

Late to the thread, but have you tried updating your hardware? Firmware, BIOS chipset drivers, any applicable drivers for interface?

It could just be a little thing that is causing your issues.

Sorry if you have done this, but it has happened to me. Not always just a simple Device Manager uptate. Going to the manufacturer site for your MOBO or interface can have updates that Windows does not have a clue about.
