In the Waves panel you can save a configuration for each type of device.  Set the panel where you want and then save using the option on the right of the window.   The next time you insert that type of device it will use that configuration when the device is selected from the popup window.
I have an Inspiron 15 3000 laptop, and this has been an ongoing problem since I got the computer a couple of years ago. I record audio (usually records, sometimes cassettes or reel-to-reel tapes) using the USB port as the input, generally into Magix Audio Restoration or Cool Edit Pro. The computer continually reverts back to it's default setting for audio recording input, which is 1 channel 16 bit. I don't want that. I use the 2 channel 16 bit 44100 Hz setting. And I continually have to go back in and reset it, plus I often also have to continually click off the enable audio enhancements, as well, or it will only record mono, even with the 2 channel 44100 setting. I'm tired of having to do that continually. I never had to do that on my old Toshiba laptop or even older HP desktop. How do I get the settings to STAY where I want them and not have to reset them everytime I want to record something?
Audio Settings Keep Resetting To Default...Frustrating!
