ASIO can only be used by one thing at a time. So, if you haven't closed the first program that is using ASIO, it's not available.

HOWEVER... you should be able to go into the properties of the other programs and set them up to grab MME for sound.

My DAW is like this BUT.... all I do is remember that if I'm working with Sonar.... the other programs will run automatically on MME. If I open BB first it grabs ASIO and I must close it before I open Sonar or I get a message about having no drivers. Just a minor inconvenience.
