Since when (Gloucester???) could we play Platinum vst's & computer audio simultaneously?
Could never do this befor... always needed to disable audio from chrome, utube, fb, etc before loading Sonar or it would crash/not play...thru my Focusrite Forte/studio monitors...could only do one, not both.... I've gotten into a routine switching them on and off but tonight I just sat down and am listening to Skippie's latest MegaMagicDreams walkthrough for Omnisphere 2 and realized Sonar was up, and can play Greg's new Banshee along with the video... Simultaneously... When did this happen? I'm not dreamin'... and could NOT do this before...

Nope... forte is same as always... They do have a beta win10 driver set, but it has problems and I haven't updated since purchasing it a year and a half ago...

Yep... ok, so I guess I assume this latest update turned this on... or corrected something as I've never changed this setting and have no idea what it has been set to forever... it's nice though... was always a headache before... Oh well, I'm really happy how ever it happened... thanks John...

Or you could have used VoiceMeeter before (and still can). Granted - it's a virtual ASIO.

With Focusrite you can have this switched off, at least with the saffire models, the ASIO drivers have magic powers. I keep mine off.

Many programs can address a single ASIO driver.
If you turn on Share drivers in Sonar only the program with windows focus can use it. If you uncheck share driver then all programs can access the driver simultaneously. It seems counter intuitive but that's the way it is.
Of course the program has to be able to use the driver type that's selected in Sonar..

I didn't know this. Seriously? If this is the case isn't this a bug as it seems to be the wrong way around if what you are saying is correct.

It needs to be renamed I think to:

Very very misleading!!!

it works the opposite for me, I'm pretty sure when I have "Share" on SONAR plays nice with others... -S

+1 to the "sharing drivers" actually releasing when SONAR loses focus (mine is also off on my Saffire). Sharing is a combination of the drivers accepting this and the programs accessing the interface adapting to the sample rate on the interface (on the Saffire - the first one that gets it locks it out to change). Another setting to be aware of is the "exclusive modes" in Windows sound card settings (properties for the device). Unless required for some reason, these should also be off, as it turns Windows into a "mindless gatekeeper" of the interface, and again the "finders keepers" rule applies (it is possible to lock out SONAR in this way because something else got it first).

Sort of like MIDI channel NONE = Omni which actually means all. If NONE can mean ALL then surely SHARE can mean CONFISCATE/RELINQUISH.

The reason for selecting Share drivers is so that you can lock out other programs from accessing the audio device. Because with out that box ticked it is possible for other programs to access the audio device at the same time as Sonar and pass an audio stream at the same time as Sonar causing a horrible confusion of noise.
