Don't show the "Would you like to view your audio device configuration?" dialog
Replace it with some non-modal indication of audio hardware error

When Reaper cannot find the audio hardware it is set up to work with, it shows the following dialog:

REAPER Error
There was an error while opening your audio hardware:
....
Would you like to view your audio device configuration?
[Yes] [No]

99,9% of the time I know about it beforehand so I don't want to do anything about it right now. The problem is the dialog is modal so it cannot be ignored. Moreover, if upon Reaper's startup a project is loaded Reaper asks the question one more time.

I propose to remove this dialog window and replace is with some non-modal, non-intrusive indication of hardware malfunction -- a warning text in the Transport bar, disabled Transport buttons with a pop-up error balloon or something of this kind.
