Soundcard in use error

have used 9 for years …
Just upgraded from 9 to latest 10 (not paid up yet thankfully!) [On win 11]
run my songs in 9 no problem…
get "“The Soundcard is already in use” error every time in version 10 (even after reboot) . Not a good start

anyone any ideas for why this might be?

thanks Tony

What audio drivers are you using? (Asio, Wasapi, MME)? What is your audio interface? If you’re using Wasapi make sure that the ‘exclusive’ option is unchecked in the Settings → Audio devices → Avanced box.
