I want to send audio from Cantbile to the Zedi 3/4 usb port.
But I have no idea how to get the port listed, and connected to.
The Voicemeeter Aux is the default device (software).
All other ports are enabled.
The Zedi is the a hardware mixer. Connected via usb / asio.
The Voicemeeter is used for EQ, and volume via knob.
Suggestions?

I changed the windows default output to the zedi… Now it shows in the out-ports list.
Even when i change the windows default port… the zedi is still listed.
Now trying to connect to a virtual audio cable…
In my little adventure with Win 11, I was so frustrated, and put ChatGBT to work.
This is where I started:
Windows 11 will not let me move most everything. Nearly everything requires Administrator permission and impedes my progess.
This is the response I received:
That is frustrating—and you’re not imagining it. Windows 11 is much more aggressive about permissions than earlier versions, especially if your files are in protected locations.
Below is a clear, practical checklist to get you unstuck, starting with the most common causes and fixes.

## The Root Cause (most of the time)
Windows 11 protects system folders and anything inside them, even from users who are administrators.
If you’re trying to move files in or out of folders like:
*** C:\Program Files**
*** C:\Program Files (x86)**
*** C:\Windows**
*** C:\ProgramData**
*** Another app’s install folder**
Windows will block or prompt for admin rights constantly.
This is by design, but it absolutely kills workflow for audio, plugins, libraries, etc.

## First: Make Sure You’re REALLY an Admin
1. Press Win + R
2. Type:
** **netplwiz** **
3. Press Enter
4. Select your user account
5. Make sure “Administrators” is listed
If not:
*** Change it to Administrator**
*** Log out and back in**

## The #1 Fix for File Moving Issues (Recommended)
### 
Don’t work inside protected folders
### 
Move your work to a user-owned location
Create folders like these and use them for everything non-system:
** **C:\Audio** **C:\VST** **C:\Samples** **C:\Libraries** **C:\Plugins** **
Then:
*** Install plugins to these folders**
*** Put sample libraries here**
*** Move project data out of Program Files**
This alone solves 90% of permission problems for DAW users.

## Take Ownership of a Folder (When You MUST Use It)
If you must modify a specific folder:
1. Right-click the folder → Properties
2. Go to Security tab
3. Click Advanced
4. At the top, click Change (Owner)
5. Enter your username → Check Names
6. Click OK
7. Check:
** * 
Replace owner on subcontainers and objects**
8. Apply → OK
There was much more, but it DID help alot.
Even AI knows Win 11 is crap
