"No valid ASIO driver found" Error Message
No Valid ASIO driver found - Source-Connect requires an ASIO driver to function. Make sure you have a driver installed and it is not used by another program.
Source-Connect | All Versions | Windows
Description
Users trying to start a new Source-Connect session on Windows receive the following error message: 
Cause
The interface or microphone does not have a true multi-client audio driver. Most quality interfaces are provided with a driver directly from the manufacturer.
Actions
In order to fix the error message:
- Check whether or not your interface has a multi-client audio driver. If it does, install the manufacturer's driver. Here is a list of compatible interfaces that provide audio drivers.
- If you don't feel confident troubleshooting this issue on your own, contact the Source Elements support team for a technical support session.
- If your interface does not have a multi-client audio driver and you want to troubleshoot on your own, try some of the following actions:
- Install Flex ASIO driver.
- Also, try to disable exclusive mode in the Control Panel
- If that does not work, a separate option is to use ASIO4ALL and use separate drivers on separate programs.
- Check what driver is being used in the DAW. You can check that in the DAW Settings or Preferences section.
If the issue cannot be resolved, and the DAW supports Source-Connect Link, give it a try as well.
