The “release driver when application is in the background” option is NOT activated when this issue occurs.
Here’s steps to confirm if you really don’t have an issue.
- Open a web browser, head to Youtube and play a video with audio.
- Open Cubase (assuming you have the latest Yamaha USB 2.1.1 driver) while the Youtube video is playing audio.
- The audio from the youtube video will stop playing during the Cubase loading screen.
- Attempts to play the Youtube video will be met with a loading icon.
