The WAS driver choice won’t even give me sound so it’s easy to diagnose when it gets flipped. I really wish WAS was not the new default, but perhaps it’s a good first choice for the most users; I wouldn’t know.

If you’re not recording within BIAB, I can’t think of a good reason not to use MME. I can think of reasons to use ASIO but that also brings with it the need for adjustments and avoidance of possible conflicts with other software.

Try MME first, as suggested.
