It is not advisable to use the Microsoft Sound Mapper in any music making program whatsoever.

Just ignore it.

Instead, choose your soundcard's physical input and output selections from the list, by name.

This may be at the heart of your current problems.

Microsoft Sound Mapper was designed for casual computer users, surfing the web, listening to mp3s or streams, watching the occasional video. They did not have the kind of work we need to do in mind at all and the Sound Mapper also will always reroute to anything "windows" rather than the stuff for your soundcard, such as the real manufacturer-supplied drivers, etc.

Just ignore the Microsoft Sound Mapper if it lists itself in any music-making program, never select it and it will be benign.

Beside that, I know of no way to remove it from the list anyway.
