frustrating i know !!
yes ,seq audio track
windows 10
no GPu - so my laptop is not better than yrs !!
the clue for you is that I have always had the .wav - it was just always empty. Do you have any other programs that output audio to see that yr computer does render audio?? otherwise i wd say that you just have to go thru it all - slowly 1 - again…once we have been thru these processes many times, it is easy to do 90% and miss one thing. the plugins will sometimes turnoff if you update etc - things like that. At the moment my windows ini file looks like this…
[Audio]
;AudioDeviceModuleName=XAudio2
; Uncomment below (and comment above) to use multi-platform mixer module by default
AudioDeviceModuleName=AudioMixerXAudio2
; Defining below allows switching to audio mixer using -audiomixer commandline
;AudioMixerModuleName=AudioMixerXAudio2
