No sound with ASIO4ALL+Reason+Windows 7

[herdsmann]

Hi There Forumerers,
Can’t get no sound out of Reason, using ASIO4ALL on a Windows 7 laptop. This seems to be quite a common problem, yet I can’t find a fix. The thing is, it used to work, and just stopped. I’ve tried:

Updating the soundcard drivers
Removing “exclusive use” from sound device advanced options.

The ASIO4ALL Options windows tells me:
Muxed in1 “red cross”
Muxed In “Triangle”
Speaker “red cross”

If I hover over speaker, it tells me “In use by another application?” and “MS GS Wavesynth enabled?”

If I use another soundcard driver, there are no problems – apart from the massive lag.

Hope someone out here can help – I’m stuck on an island off the west coast of Australia, with only my laptop and my Roland PC300 to keep me sane!

My machine:
HP Probook 4520s
Intel Core i5 CPU M430 @2.27Ghz x 2.27Ghz

ATI High Defenition Audio Device
IDT High Defenition Audio Codec

Well that problem is really easy to solve.
I found it by accident because I experienced the problem (and very bad sound quality) in Linux.

Forgive me but I have to guess a bit here because my system is Dutch so I don't know for sure the exact English terms.

This recipe is how to do it in Windows 7:

- Go to Windows Configuration.
- Go to Sound
- Select you playback device (let's say your speakers).
- Click the "properties" button.
- Go to tab "advanced".

Now here we have a reference to "exclusive modus" which has two options. Make sure you deselect both options.

Press as many times as necessary to close all windows.

Now you'll notice that all is just as it was before but sound quality is probably better and the sound device is no longer taken up by one application.
