Avast blocks my asio4all sound driver

[brianbass]

I’m really frustrated. >:(
After a week of not being able to work looking for solutions to my problem, I have found that Avast is blocking the Asio4all sound driver but it does not give me any alert. Simply by uninstalling Avast it starts working normally. When starting Daw (Ableton) and having avast, the Asio4all driver throws an error in the audio output. With the following message: "Unavaliable, controlled by another application? MS GS WAVETABLE SYNTH " I hope they can fix it soon since I am a paid user.

Hello, can you try to disable “Shield my microphone” option in Webcam Shield settings?

Hats down to you sir, you just saved my sanity. This happened to me as well and it created a lot of frustration.
Unblocking asio4all files and folders in Avast settings fixed all the problems.
Its completely stupid from Avast to block files without notifying the user. Please fix your stuff!
Thank you.
