I should have been more precise in my description ... it is really LOCKING the driver, effect is the same as killing :-), since no longer usable with any DAW/SoftSynth, etc. application.
As soon as I start Rapture Session OR ZETA 2.2 the VS-100 ASIO driver (Win10 patch, ver 2.02 of Roland ASIO driver) and switch to the VS-700 device the driver & device is locked for any apps using ASIO. I still have sound from OS (e.g. Win sounds or Media Player), BUT all "Music" applications tell me that the VS-700 device is no longer connected to the PC. The VS-700 Editor and ASIO Tool still work.
The only way to get it working again is a re-install (Win 10 patch with driver signature off, etc.).
As long as I do not use Rapture Session or ZETA 2.2 everything works fine. Looks like both are having issues with assigning the outputs OR more likely switching to 96kHz/24bit. Previous versions showed a warning message and switched the sample rate after that, without locking the driver.
So bakers looking into this would be much appreciated. And I hope the above helps identifieng the root cause of the issue. VS-700 should still be seen as a Cakewalk product somehow ... I do not want go down the road about Roland & Win10 support ... At least NEW Cakewalk products or versions should not add to killing the VS-700 usability ;-)
Cheers and thanks ...
