Normally when I listen to music I don't run any other applications. But sometimes I use the computer to play samples from music web sites or watch videos. If I do this, then Firefox glombs on to the Windows 7 audio stack and will lock in the sample rate. If I then try to run HQPlayer through the ASIO interface there can be a "war" as to the sample rate. Sometimes the result is comical, reminiscent of playing an LP on the wrong turntable speed. The cure is to exit both applications and start over. One other thing that I discovered is that the Mytek driver is perfectly happy to take audio from its ASIO interface and its Windows interface and mix them.
It is possible to avoid all of these conflicts by dispatching the Windows audio stack to a different audio device. This is the only certain cure, and it guarantees no "You have mail!" warnings coming out of the speakers. Another way for me to lock out Windows is to run HQPlayer and have it convert to DSD. This puts the device driver and DAC in DSD mode and the Windows audio stack doesn't support DSD, so it's locked out.
