Jmus Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Used to be able to do this. I need to record a sound into Cakewalk to study it's frequencies etc. If I open you-tube on its own it plays fine. If I try to then open cakewalk the program doesn't start. If I open Cakewalk first then Youtube won't play. Help greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertWS Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Maybe you have the driver set to exclusive mode... WASAPI Exclusive - Enhanced for Windows 10, WASAPI Exclusive provides low latency audio and direct access to the audio driver, bypassing the Windows audio engine. Only one application can access the driver in Exclusive mode. WASAPI Shared - Enhanced for Windows 10, WASAPI Shared allows multiple applications to access the driver.

I use ASIO so this wouldn't apply? Have Focusrite pro 40 soundcard. Never used to have this problem. Maybe since last Windows update (not entirely sure) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 If Windows is setup to use the Focusrite as the default audio device make sure CbB and Windows are set to the same sample rate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Sorry to be a bit dim on this) I have 44100 for Focusrite at present in Cakewalk THanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Depends on the OS Google is a great resource for Windows related questions I have replied to many similar posts on this subject here and the forum search is another good resource When posting here providing OS and DAW version info (version numbers are more useful than just claiming to run the latest version) along with audio interface info (sample rate, driver used) allows users to give intelligent replies without having to guess. Here is a way to get to the sample rate setting in Win10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn Wilson Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I found that I couldn't share CbB with Soundforge until I went into preferences>audio>playback and recording>and checked the "suspend audio engine when Cakewak is not the focus" button. After that, I could use any audio program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, I could use any audio program. Probably the result of using the ASIO driver in both programs and the driver lacks multi-client support. Very few Windows programs can use ASIO drivers. Most of these programs are audio or video editors. For most uses, editors like SoundForge do not need to use ASIO drivers. They work fine using regular Windows drivers. Few web browsers support ASIO and for most uses these too can get away with using Windows audio drivers. Using regular Windows audio drivers when possible eliminates competition for the ASIO driver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bradley Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I'd imagine most people have Windows set up to use their on-board Realtek audio by default for all the windows-related beeps and boops, browser audio, and whatever else needs annunciating, while using a Professional-ish ASIO audio device of some sort strictly for their DAW. At least, that would be my recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a way to get to the sample rate setting in Win10 Thanks Scook...that has sorted the problem! So I will save your post in case I forget. If I use higher sample rate in CfB then I can match the windows if needed. My guess is that in the update Windows 10 'saw' the interface and set it at the highest possible sample rate....without telling me!! Thank you again, you have saved me hours of research Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
