C4 does not warn when Audio Interface is absent or powered down

[ClintGoss]

When I launched C3 with my audio interface powered down, I got a modal dialog warning me.

I C4, there is no such warning … which is a bit unsettling (and confusing … since I am just migrating to C4, it had me thinking that I had to re-build my whole port structure …)

Is this behavior intentional? configurable???

Hi Clint,

Observe the Engine Icon on the Toolbar, it has more colors now and one of them shows you have no active interface. See:

Audio engine management

Coming to a v4 near you soon: Power button colors as per above post (including flashing red for error and blue for null audio) Error messages on failed to start audio drivers suppressed - except in the one case where you actually press the power button and it fails. Failed to start errors shown in the power button tooltip. Error messages in options dialog suppressed. “Failed to load” message on the audio ports page if the current driver couldn’t be loaded.

Sorry…

@dave_dore

it has more colors now

Got it. Nice pulsing red indicator … wasn’t sure it the missing dialog box was a oversight, and I had not seen the Audio Engine Management post …Thanks!
