Straypixel, so your sayin that even tho all the sound on my machine is playin back thru my mackie satellite, it's using WDM drivers to access the mackie hardware? And the last part kinda confused me too,
cause i can have Live and/or Reason runnin and still hear music from itunes/realplayer/win media player rockin at the same time. It gives pops and crackles if i don't turn them both down a lil bit, but they both play at the same time, thru the mackie. My machine is a bit of an anomoly tho, cause someone said you can't run more then 1 soundcard at a time usin asio4all, but i'm able to get my SB Audigy and Connective sounds cards to show up at the same time in both Live and Reason (not talkin bout when they are rewired, but open 1 at a time) in the asio control panel (aswell as in live and reason's pref panels) and have 6in/12out. Don't ask me how, i just activated them and they work, i didn't find out til later that supposedly you can only run 1 at a time. I tried to add the Satellite in the mix for 8in/18out, but it ain't happen. Only the audigy and connective work simutaneously with asio4all. But havin the satellite as the default soundcard in windows and usin it as the interface for my audio apps, still lets me run daw+itunes at the same time on the 64 setting. But thats just me, don't ask how, i just do it.
