This driver, the Realtek HD ASIO driver will always crash Smaart when Smaart checks for audio devices. Recently, Windows 10 began to bundle an ASIO driver with all machines running Realtek on-board sound drivers. July 2021 Update: Please note that the ASIO driver may be re-downloaded by Windows Update, so it is best to keep the uninstaller handy if you run into issues after an automatic system update. Please see our guide for troubleshooting or send in a support request.

NOTE: If Smaart v8.1.3 or higher is crashing, the problem is NOT the Realtek HD ASIO driver.
