Good detail. Yes, we all spend too much time on this nonsense.

I do have a memory of that error about another device open, but I haven’t seen it in many years. I think it’s in the BIAB FAQ. How about drivers: are you using ASIO or WAS in BIAB? If so, try MME for diagnostic purposes and I’ll bet the error disappears.
