For some reason...Acid Pro 4 is "hogging" the drivers for my sound card so that when i open Sound Forge to edit a file, it says that it cant playback. Where in Acid can i change this option so i can use both programs? -Sin |

Sin, This will really depend on which drivers you are using for your card. There are a few possibilities: 1) You are using ASIO in ACID, which does not share devices with other software. Try using the Classic Windows Wave driver and see if it fixes it. 2) You are using the Classic Windows Wave driver with a sound card that has drivers that don't support access by more than one program at a time. (The old Echo drivers were like this.) Update your sound card drivers and it should take care of the issue. Let me know if neither of these help. Nate |

ok..i have a Terratec EWX 24/96 soundcard. i went to the site and found they updated just the other day, so i downloaded the newest drivers. i rebooted and went back into AP4, keeping the driver on ASIO, then right clicked on a file to edit in SF and yet AGAIN it said it couldnt play back. so i did what you said, changed the ASIO driver in AP4 to the Classic Window Driver and now i can use both. theres got to be a better way though. im guessing im not going to get good latency with the Classic Window Driver when i use VSTi's though. guess well see, eh? -Sin |

Sin, This is the way ASIO works. The ASIO 1.0 spec does not make provisions for applications to share the soundcard. An ASIO 2.0 spec has been released, and it contains allowances for this, but very few companies have released these new drivers. Also, if one application is using a card via ASIO, no other application will be able to use it through WDM, MME, or other drivers. I don't know of any cards who's drivers are versatile enough to allow for multiple driver types to share the card. Nate |

I must be a lucky ASIO 2.0 recipient. I can use my M-Audio Audiophile 2496 in ACID Pro 4.0 (with ASIO) and in Sound Forge 6.0 (using WDM as Sound Forge has no ASIO support) at the same time. Iacobus |

I have a Pulsar-II and although I can only run one ASIO device, I can multiple other apps on non-ASIO drivers . . . |

It depends on the driver. It is possible for a driver to be written such that it is multi client. That is, two apps can stream data to it at the same time. To use ASIO and Wave/WDM at the same time is a bit of a task, but it is doable. Peter |
