In case it helps, I submitted a couple crash reports when I got a crash with ASIO recently (using my RME HDSP9632 card). I’ve never had any luck using ASIO with FMOD Designer or Studio. I used WASAPI with Designer (which worked fine), and am trying out Windows Sonic since WASAPI has that SRS Downmixing bass reduction problem (see here for more details [No bass in Fmod](https://qa.fmod.com/t/no-bass-in-fmod/12839/9) ). My concern with Windows Sonic is I don’t know if it colours the sound in any way.
