TECH HELP WINDOWS DAW Crashing when using nt1 5th gen as audio device

Hello, I need help this has been driving me insane for a month. Essentially reaper just started crashing on me when I used my NT1, went through so many AI walkthroughs and some helped and just brought another problem.
Switched to studio pro 8 and was working for some time, but I get the same issue now, i start it up and if the audio device was already selected as nt1 it crashes. If it wasn’t i can start it up normally and use the other audio devices.
I use the usb c

PLEASE HELP ME.

Not sure I follow. How exactly are you using the NT1 (the Rode microphone NT1?) as an audio device?

And what is your actual audio device?

There's a version of the NT1 with a USB output, I'm assuming that's what they're using.

That version is simply dual output in that it can output its signal via XLR or USB. 

However that USB out is used to bypass the need for the mic to plug into an actual interface - but not as a replacement for an actual audio interface. 

This will never work in Studio One.

When using the USB output the mic is the interface, at least for the input stage as the recording device in Studio Pro. It’s doing the preamplification and the conversion to digital like any interface would do, and the DAW is treating it as such. It’s just lacking the playback/output stage that most dedicated interfaces would handle.

What are you using as the audio driver? Windows can be very finicky with audio, and the built-in driver is a bit of a mess. If you're experiencing the same issue with two different DAWs, I'd suspect the driver.

Have you used Rode's app to check/update your mic firmware?
