There is a simple solution! I bought a 8$ usb sound stick. Disabled it in asio4all. Enabled it in the Windows7 sound-device list. Aaaaand here we go: My DAW playing over ASIO at the same time over realtek as Windows media player or youtube in the browser over usb stick. I just have 2 physical outputs. Am I the first to try this? By the way just allow me to praise Windows7 for the real-time audio capabilities. Finally I have the all in one portable solution for audio production!

hey,
im using asio4all with fl studio and had the same issue with not being able to hear audio from two different applications at once. I could have audio in FL Studio, but if i then opened youtube i would get nothing. I went into options>audio settings and selected "ASIO DirectX Full Duplex" instead of ASIO4all v2 and now both of them work. i dont know anything about this stuff but if there is a similar function in other programs it might help. im using W7 64bit.

I'm having a similiar issue.
If I have kontakt 5 open I am using ASIO (to reduce latency with my digital keyboard) however it blocks all audio from all other applications (eg: when I visit youtube via firefox or play music with VLC etc)
I've tried fiddling around with the 'exclusive' mode option under recording/playback devices in win7 32bit. I've also downloaded the latest drivers for my xonar dg. PLEASE HELP !

I've solved this issue for those who want to use ASIO4ALL on Windows 7/Vista. A program called Virtual Audio Cables (http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm) enables you to route audio to your main sound device, and since it uses a virtual WDM driver, it doesn't cause the same problem. Here is how to do it: - Buy Virtual Audio Cables (or you can find it on the internet somewhere if you search, although I don't condone piracy)
- Install it
- Go to Control Panel -> Sounds, click on the Recording tab, right click Line 1 and go to Properties. Click on the Listen tab, check "Listen to this device", select your main audio device under "Playback through this device:" and click OK for both screens. You're done.
- Now configure ASIO4ALL: enable the output for "Virtual Audio Cable" only and check "Force WDM Driver To 16 Bit" (I find that not doing this introduces extra latency), and disable the output for your main audio device
Now you can use your sound fully while using ASIO4ALL on Windows 7/Vista, and if you want to record the output of ASIO4ALL, you can do so using the Line 1 recording device. Note that we didn't set the Line 1 playback device as default, so anything else you play will still go through your main audio device and won't be recorded. If you want to record additional sounds, make sure it's playing through the Line 1 playback device as well. Hope this helped!

First post
After much head scratching I realised yesterday that the only realistic way to overcome this problem is to have two sound cards working at the same time.
In my case I have a Asus Xonar D2X that I use for DAW applications and my onboard RealTek ALC-888S sound chip. To enable both sound devices you will have to enter the BIOS and select ENABLE for your onboard sound device - this hasn't created any audio conflicts on my PC so far.
Then I made a physical connection between the Line-Out of the ALC-888S and the Line-In of the D2X using a 3.5mm stereo lead - this enables me to monitor the output from the applications using the ALC-888S via the D2X.
But its not over yet
In Windows Control Panel select Sound and I made the default sound device the stereo output for the ALC-888S. Select the Recording tab - I made the Line-In of the D2X the default device. I altered the Properties of the Line-In device:- Listen Tab - "Listen to this device" box should be ticked. The "Playback through this device" should be output of your soundcard e.g D2X Audio Device Custum tab - "Monitoring" box should be ticked or you wont hear anything via the Line-In
Your DAW sound device should be your sound card e.g. D2X
The above set up seems to work fine for me. I can listen to Reason 6.5 and watch youtube videos or any other Windows application without an audio device conflict.

Okay, let me clear the air about the whole Vista/7 + sound thing.
You see, Microsoft actually did a GOOD thing - they moved the whole hairy-mess-of-sound-systems into user-space, where it should've been in the first place. Microsoft is, apparently, DONE with fixing other people's broken sh... The problem here is crappy vendors, not Microsoft.
Windows Vista - and consequently, Windows 7 - use an entirely new audio stack (so called), which departs from defining audio-device-endpoints (like Wave, Mic, Line-In...) and instead uses logical-endpoints (like Winamp, WMP, Firefox...). This has given me many a grey hair in the long run (at one point I was expected to "fix this" for older apps that just don't understand this new scheme but need to run on Vista/7), but I guess it's the way to go - this new scheme makes MUCH more sense to end-users. But a side-effect of that (and moving it all to userspace) is, unfortunately, exposing the end users to the actual crap hardware vendors produce, both in devices AND their drivers for them.
So yeah, I agree that the fixes should be much more simple (or not needed), but I don't see why Microsoft should be dragged through mud for this. But then I see why they would be... "Drivers are drivers", right? "If I changed my OS, it must be the fault of the new OS"... Yeah, sure. On multiple occasions I had to hold off upgrading to a newer operating system (most notably 32bit vs 64bit) simply because my devices had lacking drivers for the new OS - in support, in features, or both.
As a side note, ASIO4ALL's devs aren't responsible for this problem, either. :-) The truth of the matter is: if you want pro-grade results, your highest chances lie with using pro-grade hardware and software to match it. Anything less will probably introduce some "wonkiness", and I usually sell any success with less-than-pro stuff doing pro-level stuff as a "MASSIVE WIN!". Please keep in mind that ASIO4ALL doesn't really promise or guarantee anything... :-)

Hi,
You can make it so that you can hear your guitar / bass and your system sounds (music etc.)
You just don't use the software the guitar USB cable came with. In my case I bought Guitar Rig 4 just to play along to youtube songs and discovered I couldn't.
Simply: plug in the guitar USB cable go to your system sounds. Easiest way is to R-click on the speaker icon in your system tray. Select recording devices Select the USB connection (mine says USB PnP sound device) Click properties and select the Listen tab Check "Listen to this device" and click apply
The sound is now played over your system so you can play your guitar and hear music at the same time.

It worked, but there's just one problem: The sound on Amplitube its very strange, I can hear my guitar but with a lot of strange sound, like an distortion, and with a little latency, what should I do?

if you read that then you should know, they don't care.
That attitude is enough for me to know they are not going to do anything. It should be a simple fix, but not going to happen.
And rather than talk with the end user, who they think deserve ridicule, they throw ignorant statements around and thats it, end of.
It's a shame so many paid applications require asio audio to work properly. Sad.. that these guys just dont care.

Enjoy your latency and audio lag. Please press the start button to turn off. thank you.

I am truly grateful for the development of asio4all. Great sense of humor, especially the photo of George W under "simple"! Sometimes a bit sarcatic, but in a fun way, and we all deserve it anyway. I have two new programs that will not recognize the Echo Indigo IOX drivers installed in my Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate, so Asio4all is my salvation. My problem, however, is multiple use at the same time, because I play live standalone softsynths using the console mixer for the echo indigo. Only one will play at a time. Device manager properties says each of the four virtual stereo outputs are functioning properly. Echoaudio support has not solved. I installed the latest driver (8.6) to no avail. Michael Tippach, be as funny and as sarcatic as you want to be, because you apparently know a lot more than anyone else about solving asio problems. Thanks for help to anyone in advance Steve Smith

I would like to add a couple of things to my first message. The Echo Indigo IOX did work properly when I first installed it, and I haven't changed from the original installation of Windows 7 Ultimate. I have, however, made a number of changes suggested by Sweetwater's support for optimizing the laptop for music applications. The multi/ simultaneous use problem began before any of those minor changes, so I doubt that those changes are the culprit. The low latency and four stereo virtual ports with a virtual console makes the Indigo an ideal solution playing live standalone soft synths. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Steven Smith

I should have proofread my entry- it was Sweetwater's support site that gave a number of suggestions that I implemented. Sorry, not a good typist. Steve Smith
