I can't hear audio in youtube when Cubase is open.

I found this on an Ableton Live site and this worked for me. I was trying to watch Lynda: Cubase Up and Running while fiddling with the program.

I did this after I followed some advice above within the Cubase software under Devices/Device Setup/VST Audio System and checking Release Driver when Application is in the Background.

On your Windows PC, type “Sound” in your Start Menu search, go to the properties of your default audio output device (Speaker or Headphones, etc), go to the advanced settings tab and uncheck the exclusivity box.

You probably still can’t play both at the same time but this should allow you to switch back and forth more easily.

Works!!

UPDATE: hm, when I returned to Cubase: zero sound. Closing the project and reopening it doesn’t work. You have to restart the whole of Cubase to get the sound back. Bit of a bummer. You get a lot of inspiration by listening to stuff on YouTube. Please don’t tell me I have to continue watching it on my little tablet screen. The least would be that you could get the Cubase sound back without having to close and restart the whole damn thing. Anyone?

This is usually caused by a differing sample rate between your computer audio settings and your project settings.
By default a Windows PC will use 44.1kHz as it’s sample rate for audio cards as this is probably the most common sample rate for consumer audio. When opening a DAW project with a different sample rate, you will hear pops and clicks as the DACS reinitialise and clock to the new sample rate. These clicks are usually fairly low in level and aren’t likely to damage your monitors, but where possible it is always best to minimise this.
Another effect of having different sample rates is that computer audio refuses to play, this means that anything trying to play audio other than the DAW will not work. YouTube videos, SoundCloud, iTunes, Media Player etc.
If you aren’t interested in playing audio from other computer programs while you are working in your DAW then you don’t really have to change anything, it will still work in the DAW as normal.
To fix these issues is fairly simple although can be a bit of a hassle to change if you need to do it every time you open your DAW so my advice is that if you use one particular sample rate more than others which is different from the default 44.1kHz then it would be worth changing the default sample rate to match the one you use with your DAW. For the occasional sample rate change this isn’t a problem and only takes a few seconds to change.
To change computer sample rate:
In the system tray there should be a small speaker icon, click on this.
This should bring up a fader with and a little speaker image above, click on the speaker image. (This is a shortcut from going via the control Panel > Hardware+Sound > Sound > Manage Audio Devices > Audient > Properties)
This brings up the current Speaker properties (which should be your iD22), navigate to the Advanced tab.
In the Default Format drop down menu, select the sample rate you require.

YES!!! Always make sure the machine audio rates match, (16bit, 44100 Hz for example). My audio interface is set at 24bit/48hz and I couldn’t playback through Win Media Player until I changed the advanced speaker properties to match the settings in Cubase10.

Yes ! Yes ! YES ! Tank you so, so much ! I really hope @Robbiedaug could read your answer instead of all that bullshit about buying a freaking mac or further hardware, etc. I created an account just to answer here and say thank you. This is going to help me so much in my work.

Regarding Macintosh, there is a certain Elitism that is a residual train of thought still remaining from the 90’s where it was imperative to own a Mac. Simple as that. PCs were slow beyond belief.

However, this is not the case anymore. PCs can work as well as Macs and in some cases outperform them.

There is zero justification to buy a Mac over a PC unless you really want a Mac.

I have very recently bought an extremely powerful PC and it is the fastest machine I have ever worked on. Not only for Cubase, but any execution of any program is so instant, that I sometimes don’t realist the software worked until I had to have a double take and realized that my PC worked the command, in a ridiculously short time.

I worked with both PCs and Macs, guess what, they both can get slow, they both break, they both crash, and they both die.

I’ve got the same problem, now in 2022. My audio interface is a Steinberg UR24C. Is it a bad audio interface? I tried all the possibilities, releasing driver when the app is in backdown. I changed the audio setting in my computer. Since I upgrade my Windows 10 to 11 I have this problem. Before all was good.
Is there anyone here who can help to solve the problem?
Thank you.

The computer has to be configured this way. Period.

You can use FlexASIO driver instead:

Sampe Rate Help

Sorry to hear you’re having sound problems, @gregclarkmusic. Of the two settings you have there, I’d suggest choosing the 16-bit 48000Hz option. Once you’ve done that, run Dorico again and go to Edit > Device Setup to make sure that the same sample rate is chosen there; if it shows 48000Hz already selected, try opening the drop-down to select a different rate and then return to the original one after a moment. If you still have no joy, I’ve seen @Ulf recommend people try the alternative FlexASI…

I want to thank this person, Thank you it helped.
