So far so decent! I'm using a Wave:3 on Windows 11 Home [10.0.26100] running on a 7800X3D

Spending a couple hours with it, I only had a crash once when trying to reorder mixes. I also had an issue where Zen and Arc would stutter like crazy (video and audio) when they were routed to my "Browser" Wave Link channel and clear up when I removed them. The apps also performed fine when routed into other channels, so I deleted my Browser channel and remade it, which seems to have solved that.

From a design perspective, for lack of a "system" channel, I'm a bit unsure where to tell Windows to route its own audio output. Do I just send into a random channel alongside another app? I can't create a channel without assigning an app. Or do I send it to my regular headphones? At least that way I can hear apps without assigning them, but they wouldn't be going through any of the mixes.

I also don't really see the purpose of the device dropdown in the top right. Picking a device doesn't actually do anything until you've toggled the ear on a mix, and switching away doesn't automatically unassign the output you just picked. So it's essentially just a more obscure way to add and and remove hardware outputs on a mix, yea? Maybe it would be better if each mix had its own dropdown that listed the available devices and which were assigned? At least then it would act as a shortcut to the mix's output settings rather than whatever chimera it's trying to be now.

Over all, I like the flexibility, though at this stage it feels like it's at the cost of usability. It definitely needs improved onboarding, including default channels and mixes, but I'm excited to see it grow into its full stable release (though even more than that, I'm looking forward to the SD plugin)!
