Description

The NAM standalone app crashes instantly on startup with exception code 0xc0000409 (STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN) before the GUI comes up.

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Encounter the problem as described in README.md (I don't really understand the root cause)
2. Try running the Gateway_x64.exe
3. Open EventViewer -> Windows Logs -> Application
4. See an Application error from Gateway_x64.exe

Expected behavior

I expected the Gateway v1.0.1 to open and work flawlessly as did the NAM v0.7.13 I used previously.

The fix

I investigated changes between the configurations and found out that there is a difference from the old version config. I copied over the whole config from the NAM v0.7.13 settings.ini into the settings.ini of the v1.0.1 and the Gateway started working. I didn't even attempt to do the fix described in the readme as the issue no longer comes up.

After further investigation, the issue is solved by changing the default value for driver=0 to driver=1 as is used in my older version.

When I manually select the first driver option and my interface in the GUI, the app instantly crashes. The device names for the ASIO config seem to be different too. It looks like the root cause might be in trying to access non-existent driver-device pairing.

##Screenshots

The left config is the functioning one, the right one is the malfunctioning stock one. The left config is the functioning one, the right one is after manually replicating the error. The left config is the functioning one, the right one is after manually replicating the error with the stock device option.
