I'm running Windows 11 Pro, with an ESI U86XT audio interface with ASIO drivers, HWK7. All works properly but I have a start-up issue which I'm fairly sure is going to be Windows related.
I still have PIN-entry set up to start the PC, when I type in the PIN I hear Windows beeps which often sound at a rather low pitch. If I then proceed and open HWK, any instrument loaded plays at one octave below normal pitch and sounds very muddy and distorted. If I then re-start Windows the PIN beeps are at normal pitch and HWK plays properly.
This happens most of the time. I power up the PC, if I hear low beeps I immediately re-start then everything is fine. I've done all the Windows disabling, except Defender which I gather is impossible to permanently disable in Windows 11.
Starting the PC twice is annoying rather than being a major problem.
Am I missing something obvious?
