Issues with flexASIO in REW

Good morning.

Last weekend I downloaded flexASIO to use in REW because I was having some issues with it and I read to try flex instead.

I downloaded and all went well. I decided to run some more measurements this morning and when I opened REW preferences, I wasn't given the full options of output channels. (Turns out my Denon was set to stereo, so I think that WAS my issue). Before I figured that out I was messing with things (I am not on the same level with my computer skills as most of you), and I switched from WASAPI to DIRECT and now it won't let me select flexASIO. I get a pop-up stating "Unable to open driver due to: Unable to find a PortAudio device named 'external Mic within specified backend.

So now I can't even get to the flexASIO control panel to switch back to WASAPI. I've updated REW to the newest version. And I still can't get to the control panel. I can't figure out how to Uninstall flexASIO either.

Anyone have any tips on how to get back to flexASIO in REW? Because I'm pretty sure I figured out my initial problem. Thanks in advance.

In your home folder (C:\Users\<your username>) delete the file FlexASIO.toml then start REW.

Thanks for the reply. I will give it a shot. Just as soon as I figure out why windows suddenly isn't recognizing my umik1. I just had an issue with my miniDSP, and after 2 hours I finally got that sorted, but then I no longer can find my umik. I swear this is the most frustrating hobby I've ever had. Lol.

Again, thanks for the help. Hopefully I get that far before I smash this laptop. Lol
