My hardware is: BEHRINGER UMC-404 + External Studio Speakers
I also have set of PC speakers connected to the audio jack on the MoBo
SOFTWARE: Win10/Pro, Live12.1+
Every time I open Live12 and use the program takes over my sound completely. That is when I try to play some audio, video thrtough the browser, media player, video editing software etc it is impossible. But there is even more. After I close LIVE my browsers still cannot play video, until I restart computer. At times the sound comes back to the browser and sometimes it does not (until I reboot).
In the meantime when I select my speaker audio settings and change it to the PC speakers it all works fine. I am planning however to get rid of the PC speakers and I am also sick and tired jugling the audio settins all the time.
It got to the point that when I open Filmora (prgoram) and try to edit video but LIVE is running, the video will not play at all, sound will not play as well.
I know Windows sound management sucks for years. It is simply below any expecation. Microsoft is doing super poor job in improving it, they're only interested in spying
!At times it is enough to restrt the browser for the sound to come back, but at other times I have to restart entire PC.
I do not use any internal sound cards (only on-board audio) + my Begringer interface. Not sure if the Behringer driver might be responsible for this mess or not, but I doubt.
I wonder if there is any permanent solution to this, because rebooting so often is a nightmare.
