ASIO drivers ReaRoute (Cockos, Reaper) and JackAudio are not shown in Preferences -> Sound Hardware

[Michael Z Freeman]

Hi. On windows 10 Mixxx 2.1 (latest) cannot see ASIO drivers ReaRoute and JackAudio. The one's it can see are ASIO4ALL and the ASIO driver installed by my USB Electrix Ebox44 (turntable audio interface). Ableton Live can see those two drivers in it's preferences (see screenshots). I installed the previous stable version 2.0 and that also has the same problem.

Operating system: Windows 10 with latest updates.

CPU architecture: Intel Core i5-4690K (not over clocked) 3.50 GHZ.

Your video and sound hardware: AMD R9 380, Realtek motherboard sound (Asus Z97-P motherboard), Electrix ebox44 USB soundcard/turntable interface (2 inputs and 2 outputs) @ 48000Hz.

Update: Looks like a made a simple mistake. I was using 64bit Mixxx with 32bit ReaRoute and Jack driver DLL's ! However this is an easy mistake to make seeing as ...

1. Mixxx does not install a desktop shortcut that identifies the architecture version.

2. Windows install entry in "Apps & Features" does not specify x86 or x64 version.

3. Install warning message for 32bit Mixxx does not mention that ASIO driver architecture needs to match install architecture of Mixxx (I don't think this is all that obvious to non-techy users).

4. According to Mixxx 32bit install message warning it's not possible to install Mixxx 32bit alongside the 64bit version. This makes it difficult to be able to use 32bit drivers. However ReaRoute and Jack Audio both have 64bit downloads so I'm not sure how many people need to use 32bit audio drivers these days.

So I may update the bug title to reflect this.
