Topic: FF 800 audio bypass via youtube???
The subject may be a little vague.
The last time I used his forum I was researching why the Fireface couldn't play multiple audio platforms at the same time ie. iTunes and Cubase or various other recording software/media player combinations. I think it was explained to me as being the conflicting sample rates and the inability to route them differently for playback.
Can anyone give me insight as to why then, I can get youtube to bypass this? I would really like to know how to transfer this dual playback feature.
Let me explain further.
I am running win7 and using Firefox internet. Fireface 800.
Various 44100 sample rated programs and iTunes is usually my media player for playback. I am not sure what sample rate iTunes is pinned at but does not work with another 44100 program open.
At this point I only use the Fireface for vocal recording...one mic input at channel 7 and my studio monitors in out 1,2...Monitor headphones at headphone jack 9/10 on front panel. That's it, my settings have not changed since i purchased the box almost 2 years ago.
When in Cubase, Kontakt or any other 44100 program I have just come across knowledge that if I open up Firefox explorer and navigate to youtube and play audio/video there, I get playback via Output channels 3/4, on fireface mix application, only routed through my headphone jack...not my main monitors. It only works for a short period it seems, maybe 10 minutes. Or if I open any other program on my computer it causes the audio to disappear. And even if I exit out of Firefox explorer, the firefox application will continue running in the background of my system until I End Process via Task Manager.
This only works if the 44100 program is opened before the Firefox application.
Any info?
If further information is needed from me I will be happy to give it. I would like to know why and how this happens.
Thanks
