Sadly, I did not do this with ProTools and instead fiddled around in Playback Engine and I/O settings trying to trigger a change. I tried pulling out my headphone jack and putting it back in and then it went back to normal. At around that same time, I had pulled up an internet audio page (youtube or something) and was getting the same effect: static blasting over the music. I pulled it up again a day or so later and had the static over music issue that I mentioned earlier. I had pulled up a file initally and things worked fine. One thing I wanted to clear up though was that the performance of ASIO4ALL was simply erratic as opposed to non-existent. Other than that, make sure to go through everything here: Help Us Help You Try uninstalling (and deleting) the drivers, then reinstalling them. Hi, You should really try to get the Fast Track Pro recognized by Pro Tools.

Short of reinstalling everything, what can I do to reverse this? I tried solving it by adjusting playback engine settings and I/O settings but instead of removing the static, I somehow messed up the audio and now I can't get any sound from it. Many of those problems were related to plugins not being installed from previous files, but I also had an occasional issue of static white noise blasting over the music. After downloading and installing ASIO4ALL, I was able to open the program, but I encountered various problems. At first the program had presented a message saying it couldn't find my hardware (a Fast Track Pro) and wouldn't open, so I downloaded a program called ASIO4ALL. I finally upgraded to Protools 12 on my Surface Pro 6.
