Hi I hope someone can help me. I am trying to have my browser open with youtube and at the same time have MMM open so I can watch tutorials and jump back straight to MMM. Thank you. I had this going years ago, but I can't remember now what I did.

Switch to direct sound or Wave output and restart MMM and browser (I presume you are on windows)

I just tried Wave Driver at 24bit and it did not work, then switched to Direct Sound which works but I then have no Keyboard sound on screen or on my Impulse keyboard

@haanswors

This is a known bug with the latest version and has been reported to the developers.

here is how I have done it . The computer needs to have 2 or more sound cards USB , onboard Realtek , PCIe, HDMI , USB headphones .

in windows audio properties , select the sound device you want the System to use such as HDIM to your TV speakers , via AMD video card ( this will be the computer's Default choice for all programs ) . Nothing unusual about that .

next , inside of Music Maker , choose to use Magix Low Latency ( 1 + 2 ) , now click on the Advanced button , just below the ( 1 +2 ) combo box . You are now in the black box dialogue . on the Left side pane , manually select the sound device you want Music Maker to use ( this selection MUST be different then your windows device selection ) . Music Maker can now play audio thru this audio device , while all other programs will use windows audio propertie's device .

Split audio play back thru 2 audio devces . It works , I have done it with MM25 Premium 2018 .

I have watched online videos with audio , and Music Maker continues to play the synthesizers with audio .

I believe this is NOT unique to Music Maker . Typically a video game will take exclusive control of an audio device . If a game allows in-game audio device selection , then the above scenario would be applicable there too . As the video game's menu would allow selecting an audio device that is NOT the one selected in windows audio properties ( same as above description )

Thanks all, as fan-boy stated, I just added my Bluetooth Headphones to my pc, now I can play youtube through a browser on my headset and use MMM through my speakers, but I will in the future purchase a sound card. thanks all
