That's a good point Tony.

I did have an "ASIO mixer" that was a WDM model driver and it was going mixing this way with non-Asio streams. I was quite shocked when it happened because I didn't expect sound (I was doing the "can't play other sounds test" and whamo I got OTHER SOUNDS lol.)

If you mind "You've got mail!" mixing with your music then you can set the Windows default audio device to be a different device, such as a motherboard sound card.

I've been saying this for almost a decade now! lol.

Set onboard sound to "default audio device" and select "Use only default devices". Then use other (good) interface in the background.

Cheers,
Presto
