New interface is hogging audio playback

[g8torcliff]

I just purchased a new Mackey ProFX8v2 interface. Since it comes with no drivers I installed asio4all. My problem is that when Reaper is loaded it works fine. However, if I want to listen to a song from another source such as YouTube or Spotify, etc. I can't get any sound if Reaper is running. When I close out Reaper I can get sound from online sources.

Suggestions? I've never used asio4all before so I'm sure I've got some setting somewhere messed up.

thanks

Basically that's a limitation of ASIO (and ASIO4ALL) when there's no dedicated ASIO driver available from the manufacturer which provides multi-client support.
So try using WASAPI (shared mode) as audio driver in Reaper instead.

You could also have a look at the Steinberg ASIO Multiclient: https://www.steinberg.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=48
But in this case the other applications you want to use at the same time (web browser, etc.) need to support ASIO as audio driver, as well.

yep...that did the trick.
