Open Reaper Wthout an Audio Output Selected?

[milesminkin]

Hello,

I've been having trouble connecting my Apollo Twin (TB) to my PC and in the mean time, I've been using my PC case's headphone output as my audio device for Reaper.

I noticed that my Apollo came up on my Reaper audio output settings. I selected it, Reaper froze, and then force-quit. Now every time I try and re-open Reaper, it force-quits while "Initializing Main Window".

Is there a way to open Reaper in a sort of, "Safe mode"? As in, without an audio device selected?

Thank you.

Beside renaming the reaper.ini or moving the file to a different location outside of the Reaper resource folder (so it gets newly generated and you still have the old .ini file as backup, as well), you can also try this:

EDIT:

On Windows, you might also try using the show audio configuration on startup shortcut in the Windows Startmenu:

This worked beautifully, thank you for this and thanks for replying to the other post I made! (Couldn't figure out how to delete the post once I found the "Bug Reports" forum)

If I remember correctly you cannot delete threads yourself. But you can edit the thread title and post content of the first post to something else like ('delete please - double post'), etc.
