They need to add the ability to totally bypass any Line6 ASIO drivers period. For some reason they assume everyone who uses a POD wants to also use it as their DAW sound card. This isn't always the case.

I want the POD for guitar tones and the ability to edit patches from the computer only. That ability should be separate from ASIO but they appear to have mixed accessing the device and sound card capabilites into a single kernel driver which is where the conflict comes from if one wants to use their own sound card. It could be ASIO conflict like you said and even more reason to be able to disable the damn thing from being a soundcard altogether. Especially since the user doesn't need to attempt to use both for this to happen, the fact that the ASIO driver even loads is the issue.

Not to sound harsh but it shouldn't be that way and I've had to deal with it for almost 3 years now. Its a little frustrating to keep the POD's USB unplugged until you need it so that you don't randomly BSOD the box.
