Simultaneous ASIO/WDM playback

The driver for this unit can simultaneously play ASIO output
from a DAW and WDM output from Windows Media Player, for
example. The sample rates of both sources must be set to the
same value for simultaneous playback to be possible. Moreover,
the sample rate must also be set to the same value for both
playback and recording in the Windows Sound Properties.
When the sample rates are the same
Example: Windows (WDM) at 44100 Hz, ASIO at 44100 Hz
The Windows audio and ASIO sound are mixed and played
simultaneously.
When the sample rates are different
Example: Windows (WDM) at 48000 Hz, ASIO at 44100 Hz
Only sound from a DAW and other ASIO sources are output.
Sound from Windows Media Player and other WDM sources are
not output.
When the DAW is shut down, for example, and output from ASIO
sources stops, sound from Windows Media Player and other
WDM sources will become audible.
