Optimizing "Audio Engine Inactive Check Your Audio Device".

Not a show stopper. But “Audio Engine Inactive Check Your Audio Device” pops up now and then for a long time now. I’m just getting to the point of working with EZ Drummer so much, I want to fix this. It mostly happens (maybe 100% of the time), while I’m moving my cursor across sorting columns or different areas of the EZD2 interface while auditioning a midi file. Especially, but not every time, when I move my cursor across a field that makes my cursor change shape. Like when you go to resize a sorting column, the cursor turns from the generic pointer to a resizing arrows. Not when I’m clicking, just when my mouse moves. This will happen once every ten minutes for example. If I just have EZD2 playing back and I’m not moving my mouse, I never have a playback issue. Long time issue for me after many uninstall/reinstall of OS and Apps over the past year, maybe longer. Same issue whether using Standone and being the only thing on my computer running, or with intense Pro Tools session running.

I’m on all SSD HDs. EZD2 has its own SSD for it’s sounds. EZD2 app is on my SSD C Drive. 32GBs ram with i7-5930k.  RME Fireface 802. I have flawless and resource intensive feature film projects loading up and playing back in Pro Tools without a hiccup. I have a hard time thinking I’m under powered. Is this just something I need to live with and accept? Or am I possibly missing something that I can optimize?

Thanks for your time!

To downgrade on Windows, use “Add/Remove Programs” to uninstall both the EZdrummer update and the full EZdrummer installation, then use “Download Product” and “Install Product” in Product Manager.

Hi Guys,

My first post here!

 

I experienced the same issue.  I corrected it by re-installing the Core MIDI update 1.02.

EZdrummer version: 2.2.2
Operating system: macOS Big Sur (11)

I am experiencing this too, everything is up to date according to Product manager.

My recorded audio is working just fine, but no sounds from Ezdrummer due to this, it worked at first…then…nothing.

Restarted and all I get is the recorded audio.

 

This is really annoying…how do I fix this?!?

EZdrummer version: 3.0.6
Operating system: macOS Big Sur (11)
