Hello Jeremy,
I have to answer you because you think I am just spitting dirt at VSL. That is not the case.
It is not necesary to insult me with remarks like 'you don't have full grasp of how things need to be configured'. The audio engine is off by default when I start the new VE Pro. The preferences tab is greyed out. Maybe this is not the way you would like it, but this is the way it is.
I did as Martin asked, I know he wants to help, and I appreciate it. But it made no difference. I have been trying things out the whole day now with no luck. The last version did not have these problems. I did not change anything in my set up, so it must have something to do with the update. So maybe you can understand my remark.
Anyway, nobody 'owns' a thread, so I will just answer when I want to.
Gerard
