Error Initializing ASIO Driver (Win 7) With Steinberg UR22

[cgtrman]

I have been using a Line 6 UX2 for my interface but I recently upgraded to a Steinberg UR22. Now that I have done that, whenever I launch either S-Gear or Pod Farm app and then launch Repear (v4.731), Reaper throws an error: "There was an error while opening your audio hardware. Error Initializing ASIO Driver".

The error message asks if I want to view the audio device configuration, which I already updated to use the new Steinberg UR22. When I close the error and view the audio device config settings, the UR22 is still the selected device, but it no longer shows the UR22's inputs or outputs and they are simply blank. As a result, I can't record anything using S-Gear or Pod Farm.

Any recommendations?

i recently got the UR44, and set up was simple and went without a problem.

have you tried reinstalling first of all?

I have an UR824 and setup was a breeze. Works like a charm in Reaper.

You may want to check you have the latest driver.

Setup was a breeze with the UR22. I installed the drivers and then plugged in the device to USB 2 port on my Win 7 box and presto it works. I can go to Reaper and under Pref > Devices I was able to select the UR22 and everything works great. That is not my issue.

However, my issue is trying to open a guitar app that provides tones while I record. Launching S-Gear or Pod Farm either before or after opening reaper always results in the error initializing ASIO driver. As a result, I can only use S-Gear and Pod Farm AFTER I record. That is the limitation until I can resolve why Reaper always throws the error initializing ASIO driver.

When I was using the Line 6 UX2 hardware, Repear worked great.

I figured it out. I was so used to recording by launching the S-Gear or POD Farm prior to Reaper when I was using the Line 6 UX2 hw. It didn't know I could simply launch Reaper and then add in S-Gear or POD Farm on the track and then record while monitoring the tone without committing that tone to "tape". Operator error.
