JRiver audio engine as an ASIO driver - uninstall?

(1/3) > >>

bhuddell:
One of my machines is a PC DAW where I would prefer that the JRiver audio engine not be listed as an available ASIO driver. What is the best way to remove this function on a given PC? I can delete the associated registry keys, but I'd like to know if there's a better method. Thanks!

JimH:
Try updating MC.  19.0.45 is at the top of this board.

bhuddell:
Thanks, that is the version I'm running. I'm not having the issue where another program loads the JRiver ASIO driver unnecessarily. I just like to keep the list of available ASIO drivers on my DAW PC as short as possible, so I was asking if there's a preferred way to uninstall the driver. Deleting the registry keys has worked fine so it's not really a problem, but maybe an option to disable that feature would be useful in the future.

Thanks again!

Matt:
If the driver isn't causing troubles, why do you care if it's in the list?  I don't mean to question your motivation -- I'm just trying to understand if it's an OCD thing (which I can certainly appreciate!) or if there's some technical consideration.

ASIO driver registration is just a few simple registry keys, and nothing is loaded unless the driver is in use.  There's no system overhead unless it's actively being used.

Thanks.

bhuddell:
It's mostly OCD! My audio interface has 12 channels and the JRiver driver effectively doubles that, meaning there are six stereo pairs listed that I will never use. The closest it comes to an annoyance is that I have a program that always scans for ASIO drivers on startup and I have to scroll through the JRiver outputs to get to my interface. Again, not a big deal, and not an issue at all with the JRiver ASIO reg keys removed.
