Pro Tools AAE error -6117

I FIXED MY PRO TOOLS. Here’s a post with the problem and what I did to fix it. So I tried to use VoiceMeeter with Pro Tools to record a video, which didn’t work and then PT crashed. That’s where the problem started.

Then every time I started PT I got this – “unable to initialize audio device” and “please select another audio device” I hit “ok” and got “AAE error -6117” and that was it. The only option was to hit “ok”, which brought me back to the previous screen “unable to initialize”

And it just kept going back and forth. I uninstalled and reinstalled. I restarted my computer. Uninstalled my M-Audio interface’s drivers. I downloaded ASIO4all. Power cycled everything. I updated to the new PT version, then downgraded back to what I had. Nothing.

And some of you might be like “just hold ‘n’ when you see the splash screen”, but that didn’t even work. Normally in PT if you hold ‘n’ as it boots up it’ll immediately bring you to the “select audio device” screen. When I held ‘n’ it just gave me the “AAE error -6117”

Finally I found this article. And I disabled all of my audio devices, opened PT, and IT FINALLY GAVE ME THE “SELECT AUDIO DEVICE” SCREEN. AGGHHHGHG I got it working again. Thank the lord. Thank you for joining me on this journey.
