"When i use the Line 6 Device as default playback speakers" I get a "blue screen" intermittently, once in a day or two days.
For a week now, I didn't use it as the default speaker. And ever since, I didn't experience any "blue screen" anymore ...
Except that,
"Now that I use the built in soundcard as the default playback speakers" The random crash is replaced with "white noise" that happens the same once in a day or two days. My computer is on, 15 hours a day... I haven't been recording much lately but I have music on the background most of the time...
The crash doesn't necessarily happen during play back but when the program is communicating with the the Line6 driver. I don't have the exact formula to make it crash. Sometimes, I just leave the application open (Sonar, Virtual DJ, Gearbox), and after sometime it just crash. Note that this "white noise" happens when I use the built in sound card as the default playback speakers. I am more comfrotable with the "white noise" than the 'blue screen". The "white noise" doesn't bother me that much since I can always restart the pc after sometime and save important datas.
Greater problems occur when I use the Line6 device as the default playback speakers, just what I have previously mentioned, I get a "blue screen" randomly. The blue screen freaks me out! So I suggest to users that, if you want to get rid of the blue screen, don't use Line6 as the default speakers for Windows 7 for now, just not until they release the final driver. There are some programs that you can use for music playback which could be configured to use Line6 ASIO as the ouput, in my case I use Virtual DJ. Web browsers use the default playback speakers, if you don't use Line6 as default for now, you may avoid the "blue screen" if ever the driver fails.
I hope you Line6 guys fix the driver soon.
Good Luck and More Power!
