Cakewalk Won't Allow Discord to Run in Background

I have "Suspend Audio Engine When Cakewalk Is Not In Focus" checked, but Cakewalk still won't allow Discord to run in the background. 

All other DAWs I use don't have this problem. Discord runs just fine, and I can use both and hear both no problem. 

As soon as I start Cakewalk, Discord won't allow any sound in or out.

Is there something I'm missing?

Try unchecking "Suspend Audio Engine When Cakewalk Is Not In Focus".  Also make sure sample rates in Cakewalk and Discord (Windows settings if that is browser based) are matching.

Thanks for the help.

I tried unchecking the box, and nothing changed. Discord still frozen.

So... I left it unchecked and changed the order in which the programs start. I originally have Discord set up to start with my computer. 

If I start Cakewalk first, then start Discord, I can use both of them just fine with ASIO drivers. Problem solved!

Been using Studio One, Cubase, and Ableton a lot over the last six years. Really excited to get back into the world of Cakewalk. Used it for decades from Pro Audio 5 up to the Gibson collapse. From what I've seen so far, Cakewalk is incredibly stable. Impressed!
