Thanks for the response Lee,
I actually "guessed" your solution. I've had a lot of issues using the Nu Audio 712-P1-AN01-KR sound card that I determined could be due to the VB-Audio control add-ons (being used with the Realtek audio) that were installed before I installed the Nu Audio card. I also had a strange crash when installing the original driver v0.2.1.7 which may have also contributed. I was unable to get the Nu Audio card to work with VB-Audio's Voicemeeter controller (stuttering audio) and I installed VB-Audio's HiFi Cable in lieu of Voicemeeter but that seemed to develop some issues also. I seemed to notice that the configurations were not stable from boot-to-boot (also sound not recovering from computer sleep) not to mention the "odd" reboot required message on the other account. After updating the driver from v0.2.1.7 to v0.2.1.10, I was able to get Voicemeeter to partially work but the "odd" reboot message was still there and there were some other issues with sound applications. That's when I sent the forum message. A few hours ago, I decided to clean house on the machine. I uninstalled all VB-Audio applications, Nu Audio driver/applications and to remove the HD Audio drivers (connected to my NVidia graphics card) I uninstalled the NVidia graphics driver. I made sure all left over files were cleared from the machine and using a registry cleaner (many people don't like this) I cleared the registry of all pointers to the removed applications and drivers. A reboot to start fresh and then one-by-one I reinstalled the latest NVidia graphics driver (reboot), The EVGA Nu Audio driver only (reboot) and then the latest version of VB-Audio Voicemeeter. It seems that everything came up and running (graphics and sound) and now I am able to get VoiceMeeter working. All are acting stable for about 3 reboots. A quick check of the second account login indicates the "odd" reboot message is no longer there. I am not using the Realtek audio (the drivers were uninstalled and hardware deactivated in BIOS before I installed the Nu Audio card). I didn't use the DDU but effectively performed all the steps outlined above and it looks like I'm back in business. I will update if I find any other suspicious activity.
Thanks for your help.
