Are you using VAC to connect to other software? If not, I would suggest leaving it unchecked. cmASIO with your Foucsrite is all you need unless you are also using software like FT8.

Operating system updates can play havoc with audio drivers. Try uninstalling the VAC drivers that you are using, reboot, reinstall, reboot, and see if that fixes the problem.

i do not let windows do updates this computer is NOT on the internet it;s only network connection is the anan , i have uninstalled all the software and rebooted it with no luck the anan is the only purpose for this computer updates are not causing this issue , i can not leave vac unchecked i would have no audio dont know what cm asio is it is not a listed choice

If you loose audio with VAC unchecked, then you have a settings issue. If you have edited the Registry with the correct entry for your interface and in Windows Sound settings, you have selected the USB interface for Audio input and output, it should work. VAC is not needed for cmASIO to work.
In the Thetis installation folder there is a text file for cmASIO explaining the different settings needed.

Windows 11 should look like this using a USB audio interface.

And, as you can see here, VAC is not selected.

There is no editing of the registry that is necessary in his case. He is not a former user of cmASIO from the days when manually editing the registry was necessary so there are no registry edits that need correcting.

If the instructions in the cmASIO Setup Guide are followed Thetis will take care of all of the necessary registry changes.

ok i updated my win 10 computer to a win11 computer
...and change it from mme ,sound mapper in and out back to asio with focusrite usb audio in and out , the setting dont save , it will make audio if i leave it mme but it lags adds delay

Just to clarify: by this you mean you didn't update a Win10 PC to a Win11, instead you replaced the entire, old Win10 PC with a new Win11 PC, is that correct?

Are you using the Muzychenko VAC software? If you are, it does not support ASIO, and that may be a part of the problem. Muzy VAC is based around the WDM/KS audio driver.

With an ASIO-capable interface like the Focusrite, you have two choices that will work:

1. One of the VB Audio app's, https://vb-audio.com/index.htm, I recommend either Voicemeeter or Matrix, and pair this with Thetis VAC.

2. Use the cmASIO feature of Thetis. How to use cmASIO is fully described in the cmASIO PDF file that can be found in the Thetis program directory.
