Biab checkbox "ASIO Always On" is in an unchecked state.

Hmm - I am using vista (32 bit ) - when I open sound - properties - properties of usb controller / drivers of my external e-mu soundcard I will see e-mu asio drivers are used.
I thought my external soundcard will be used asio only and can not be controlled by mme ? tho windows sound drivers passes the sound to asio for output ?

Ok - right while running biab - I can not here the sound from Internet Explorer, Firefox and Mediaplayer ( cubase behaves the same ) - after closing biab I can switch to firefox and hear sound - but when I use the record funktion of biab,stop recording and close biab there is not sound output to hear and no sound output amplitude is seen under sound button.

To here a sound again I have to log off and log on.

Doing the same with rb - a windows error apears: no resonse of rb - and the same result of no sound output - even when I do not record.

cubase or mixcraft or magix does no make this problem - and I do not like to log off an on to fix this problem.

OK there are bigger problems, but I like to resolve this on.
