@whale-av When double clicking patches, the EXE version launches. I am using ASIO4All 2.14, which I believe is latest.

@whale-av Patches and MIDI work perfectly fine, however closing pd.com produces the same result as described in my previous post.

@whale-av After opening and closing pd.com instead of pd.exe, the console window remains open with ASIO4All still running, and displays the following output:

midiInOpen: A device ID has been used that is out of range for your system.
open: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Pd/gem.conf: No such file or directory
open: C:\Users\<removed>\AppData\Roaming\Pd/gem.conf: No such file or directory
open: ./gem.conf: No such file or directory
closing audio...

staying like this. If I close the console window with its close button, the ASIO4All driver does indeed stop, and everything is closed at this point which should be.

@whale-av Ah. Sorry for messing you around here, I looked at the running process path and yes, it is PD running not ASIO4All. it is an exe running, not a com however.

@whale-av It appears to be only ASIO4All running upon further inspection, not PD itself

@whale-av I have saved audio settings yes, and no I don't need to use the batch file again. Even after I have closed my patch and the console window, meaning nothing PD is left, the driver still remains running until I end it with Task Manager.

@whale-av That one worked! The path was correct, but the batch file did throw a few errors for gem.conf. Doesn't appear to have affected it in any way however. This fix also persists over PD restarts and there is NO MIDI delay whatsoever! Thank you!

Edit: heh -_- The only problem now is when closing PD, the ASIO4All driver is still running and does not stop... meaning no more standard audio. I can fix this by forcing PD closed in task manager however.

@whale-av Nope. Tried everything in the readme and in the folder I thought could possibly work. Refuses to show up. This is PD extended 0.43.4

@whale-av The ASIO drivers work amazingly with no noticeable delay. Switching back and forth between DirectX and ASIO there is a huge latency difference. Still no ASIO on PD though...

@whale-av I'm using standard Realtek HD Audio which comes on my motherboard, and I don't have any other software I know of which can look for this. If you know how to look for this on Ableton Live 9 Lite then that's an option
