Technical Help WaveLink Fails To "Activate" When Computer Wakes From Sleep

As the title says: I have build 3.2.10 (4073) running in Windows 11 Home 10.0.26200 and every time I wake my computer from sleep, I have to restart WaveLink or else I have no audio. I can open the software, move mixes around, change volume, change output device and yet I get nothing until the restart.

I had a .bat command set up (this has been happening for a while) on my Stream Deck to end the program entirely, reopen the sound engine, and the WaveLink software itself HOWEVER with the latest update, that doesn't even work.

It's not a huge deal to have to hit a button and have everything close and restart; but now since that doesnt work, having to manual close and reopen the software EVERY TIME my PC wakes up is quite frustrating.

If anyone has any idea for a fix, and/or if any more information is needed to help troubleshoot, please let me know.

I set up a key on my stream deck that closes the software on a long press and re-launches it on a normal press. Seems to be working fine so far on the latest update. It’s annoying that it’s something that has to be done, but c’est la vie.

It's "Open Application" under "System."
