This post is primarily for PT 11 users on Windows using 3rd party USB interfaces.
I used to always run Pro Tools for Windows with Digidesign or M-Audio hardware, but recently changed to a 3rd party USB interface. Though it runs okay, I'm really disappointed by the lack of functionality of the ASIO USB driver that is supplied with the product. It seems to be just a generic core USB driver.
I can't change Sample Rate and I can't change H/W Buffer Size on the fly from inside Pro Tools as I used to. Pro Tools 11 needs to quit and especially Sampe Rate changes can end up in a real mess.
My uneducated guess is that many 3rd party manufacturers are using the same OEM USB controller and relying on more or less the same generically written USB ASIO driver. It is not optimized for working with Pro Tools 11 for Windows. It is not optimized to correctly negotiate neither Sample Rate nor H/W Buffer Size with the Avid Audio Engine (AAE) on Windows.
Please answer the below questions to help me see what works and what doesn't. I'm equally interested in seeing what doesn't work as what does.
Any comments are welcome. I know that Focusrite USB Windows users are hit by this. I'm amazed that so few people are complaining about it. Maybe they don't know how sweet it works with a proper driver?

- Can you change H/W Buffer Size from within PT without the need to quit PT?
- Can you switch between sessions with varying sample rates from within PT without PT either locking up, refusing to play, or the need to quit PT?
- Which audio interface did you use for these questions?
