Speaker noise after closing Vegas MS 14 Platinum (Dell XPS 9560)

Hello.

I have this weird problem that only occurs in Vegas Movie Studio 14 Platinum. Basically the audio works fine when i edit my videos in Vegas but once i close the program down my Dell XPS 9560 will make a very loud noise/buzz every time sound is coming through my speakers. I can only solve this problem by completely shutting down my machine and turn it on again. I have tried newest as well as older audio drivers to see if this fixed it but the problem is still there. Again, the problem only occurs after shutting down Vegas forcing me to reboot my machine in order to fix the loud noise. I have tried hunting down the service/application that makes my computer make this noise like re-enabling the sound drivers but with no luck. At the moment i can only see this as a bug in Vegas.

Btw. I am using a fresh copy of Windows 10 Pro

 

Hardware:

Dell XPS 9560 - 512 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM, Windows 10 Pro

What do you have set in Options > Preferences > Audio Device and what other options do you have in the first dropdown menu there?

I do make some music with a program called FL Studio which also installs some ASIO drivers but as you can see vegas MS is set up to use the default Microsoft Sound Mapper

I seem to have fixed it. The problem was an "early access" application called Wallpaper Engine purchased from Steam which runs at startup. The program is using the default audio output device when running in the background. Using the same audio device with two applications at the same time makes makes a conflict which results in the loud noise. Fortunately there is an option in Wallpaper Engine to turn off Video Audio Output which then disables the audio device being used in the program.
