I recently upgraded my audio interface from a TASCAM iXR to a TASCAM Model 12.
My DAW, Reaper, can send audio to the Model 12 and receive audio back from the Model 12 no problem, but for some reason in most Windows 10 apps like Voice Recorder, Zoom, Teams, audio goes to the Model 12 but none of the audio from my microphone comes back to Windows. I've verified the latest version of firmware and installed the latest drivers on 3 Windows 10 computers and get the same behavior.
What's interesting is if I open up Reaper, create a track on inputs 1 and 2 or even other tracks and arm the track I can not only get the audio into Reaper, but it suddenly starts working in all of the other Windows apps I mentioned above. As soon as I disarm the track in Reaper it stops working.
Similarly on one of the 3 computers I've tried if install and start ASIO Link Pro as soon as I "Start ASIO" it starts working -- even without patching any audio in ASIO Link Pro or using any of the virtual audio devices associated with it -- the default "Model 12" input just starts working on its own.
It makes me think something is causing the input disable itself, then when certain programs like Reaper or ASIO Link Pro start talking to it, it wakes up and is available to other Windows programs, even non-ASIO-specific ones.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and gone through the sound control panel settings and tried different settings with no change the the above behavior. On one of the computers I've also tried removing all other ASIO drivers and devices before re-installing the Model 12 drivers to get as clean of a start as possible.
At least one of the computers is running 20H2 -- most likely the other 2 are as well -- I'm wondering if there's a compatibility issue with 20H2 as the settings panel says something about working with 1909.
Anyone seen issues like this? Can anyone verify that a Model 12 works with Windows 10 20H2 outside of ASIO-specific application like Voice Recorder without doing anything unusual like the Reaper trick I mentioned?
Thanks!
