Some sound card device drivers have their own mixer

With some device drivers such as the Windows USBPAL driver for the Mytek Stereo 192-DSD DAC, you will get a mixer between the USB stack and the ASIO stack. This will create problems if the USB stack is active at a different sample rate than that chosen by the ASIO application, not to mention sound quality issues. If you mind "You've got mail!" mixing with your music then you can set the Windows default audio device to be a different device, such as a motherboard sound card.
