Completely stopped working #126

Was working amazingly on the last signed version until yesterday when it just stopped outputting audio through the endpoints. Tried to uninstall but couldn't, so I went through and manually deleted all related files and registry keys I could find. Tried to install the latest (unsigned) version by enabling test signing, but even with that turned on I still got the error that others have reported in the issue tracker.

So I tried to reinstall the last signed version again and this time the install seemed to finish successfully (no error message). Rebooted the computer and tried to set REAPER's audio device to SAR, which I was able to do, but I am unable to select any inputs or outputs and more importantly an SAR device was not automatically created in Windows like it was before. So it looks like SAR is dead in the water for me, which sucks massively because I've tried for hours to get Voicemeeter and virtual cables to work again and they won't work either. I don't know why Windows has to make it so hard to accomplish this. I would literally pay 400 USD right now for a hardware solution that allowed me to send system audio to REAPER and only listen to it through REAPER's output, without dealing with all these third-party hacks and workarounds to Microsoft's shoddy implementation.

I guess the real solution is to shell out thousands of dollars unnecessarily for a Mac just so I can run Soundflower to perform this simple task. I'm going to look into ASIO Link but from the little I've read about it, it's just as much a pain in the ass as anything else. Sigh.
