i am using dorico with noteperformer. Once i start up dorico other audio will not play, including youtube. a reboot fixes the issue. does anybody have any idea
Searching the Dorico forum with your very phrase “takes over audio” yields plenty of results. 
Hi @Bernhard_Metzger ,
I assume you are on Windows and use the Generic Low Latency ASIO driver, is that correct?
If so, go to Edit > Device Setup and in there click on the Device Control Panel button, a new little window appears in where you untick the option at the top of that window that says something about exclusive access.
actually i am using the yamaha steinbert usb asio which does not provide that option
And which audio interface do you have connected?
Normally that what you describe should not happen with the Yamaha Steinberg driver, I’m really puzzled…
i have the ur44c
I’m on the road right now and can’t check, but is there maybe a setting in dspMixFX that could cause this? To be honest, right out of my head I can’t think of anything
Hi Bernhard, I"ve sent you a private message via this board, please check.
