Ableton Forum

I connected my Behringer Xenyx q1002 usb mixer to my laptop to do some home recording in ableton and it works well. But when I swithc to spotify or open a youtube video while having Ableton open, it won´t reproduce any audio. Only when I close ableton then the audio reproduce and I can hear it through the mixer. Is there a way to fix this? Or this the normal behavour of the audio driver? I am using a windows laptop and my driver is the ASIOS4All.
Before I was using an audio interface conected to the mixer, and I didn´t have this problem, but I just want to reduce cables and devices.

That's normal behaviour for ASIO drivers.

It's not normal for dedicated ASIO drivers designed by the interface manufacturer, I'm able to play music alongside my DAW using Tascam Model 12.
The problem might be you using ASIO4ALL. Download a driver for your interface and it should work.
