Default Add button to reinitialize audio driver

Sometimes I forget to turn on my audio interface before starting Reaper. This leads to the "Error initializing audio driver" window appearing. The only thing that works is to restart Reaper, it seems.

This is just a small nitpick, but it would be cool to have a button that says "Reinitialize driver" either in that little window or in the upper right corner where the driver info is.

There is such a button, and its usually labeled "Restart Computer"

I think reaper has built in protection for when the interface driver crashes, or isn't connected... Reaper simply disconnects, and doesn't crash with it.
In my experience, almost all other daws will instantly crash hard if you do this.

Launching reaper without the interface connected (esp USB1 or USB2) seems to invoke reaper to ignore it ... and the only fix is a hard reboot.

Strange. All i have to do to initialize the driver after turning the device on is hit play, and I regularly switch between several ASIO devices.

foxAsteria: Huh, that actually works. I never knew.

Anyway, the retry button seems to be coming in the next version. Super cool!
