set drivers

Hi you all,

Just like many before me on this forum, I'd like to set the drivers with a Max device at Live opening.

The driver's name is "UMC ASIO Driver", as it appears in the audio preferences

What I've tried so far :

Message

;

dsp setdriver "UMC ASIO Driver"

or "UMC404HD", its name in the driver control panel

=> "setdriver : can't find driver"

But I'm really unconfortable with the dsp thing, I guess I don't understand it at all !

adstatus driver :

a bang to it results only in "Live" and "None"

message 0 or 1 to it : does nothing

the audio status window :

Nothing will do...

What am I missing here ?

Max4live has no control over hardware driver choice.

Your answer is cristal clear 😅

Is there any other way to set the driver in Live, like with a command line, a python script...?

I have no idea, I am not live user.

If I had to do something like that ...

maybe script to write audio I/O preferences

and force Live to restart?

Thanks that's good idea! I can't figure out how to achieve that yet. There's a options.txt file but nothing about driver setting. I'll ask on the ableton forum.

Thank you!
