Windows 10, NVIDIA Broadcast, fails to initialize microphone?

A friend has experienced the following bug:

When NVIDIA Broadcast is enabled and the library is imported her microphone stops working until she changes her audio device in some program. For example, setting it from NVIDIA Broadcast to NVIDIA Broadcast in Discord. This is not discord specific; no program on her machine records audio until she goes from NVIDIA Broadcast to NVIDIA Broadcast is Discord or Windows Audio Settings. After she disabled NVIDIA Broadcast the problem disappeared.

I understand this is fairly vague. It's code I wrote, she's not a programmer, and I don't have this software. What should I send her to gather more information for this?

I would suggest what I'm suggesting in many issues here: let them try a few things and let them report back. And hope that their response gives you more ideas what they could try, and so on ...

I understand this is fairly vague.

Having some of the information mentioned at https://python-sounddevice.readthedocs.io/en/0.4.1/CONTRIBUTING.html#reporting-problems would probably help?

Sorry, I wrote this in frustration in the early AM. I was hoping for a quick "Oh I've seen something like this before, do xyz" or "Sorry, we're waiting on a fix from portaudio" or somesuch. After sleeping on it I had some ideas and am unable to recreate the problem on my own computer, even after installing the same software. So I'll try a few things and have her report back.

@TomatoCo I am getting an issue where even just importing sounddevice will cause discord (but not chrome) to no longer produce audio. The microphone works perfect. This continues until I close or open broadcast (whichever it wasn't at the time of importing). Did you ever find more info on this?
