For a few days now, I don't know why, Sonarworks Reference 4 has started to assign to the wrong device when booting my Windows 10.
The image below shows that the correct device should always be Focusrite:
So, I have to manually change the device every time I boot:
How can I fix this?

Rogério Dec difficult to tell what exactly changed, but the Systemwide app works with whatever it has available. The app tries to load the preset for the first device on top of the established hierarchy, but it is not available, it goes for the next device.
This behavior in computer startup is dependent on how quickly the given device driver is “waking up”. If the device driver is not “awake” when Systewmwide looks for it, it means that the Systemwide driver is quicker to wake on boot. Or more precisely, since there haven't been any changes to Systemwide for years now, it is likely that the Focusrite driver has become slower to wake up on computer boot, or become unavailable at that time for another reason. Perhaps due to a driver/operating system update, or it could be that a different component is using that driver in an exclusive mode at that time (making it unavailable for Systemwide).
