Question

Since upgrading last year from SO3 to SO4, my VLC and Presonus hate one another. To get either to play audio, I have to exit the other.
When SO4 is running, VLC shows the video, but the audio is dead. I have to Quit SO4, then VLC is happy and plays fine.
I stumbled upon a suggested solution (to remove VLC from registry and reinstall) which did not work. Any suggestions, please?

Answer 1

Go into the Studio One settings and check, "release audio device in background".

Answer 2

What audio interface/soundcard do you use?

Answer 3

Yes, thanks ryanm1 - I have done that now a while ago, but now another problem arises:

When checked SO4 does not release the mouse, and when clicking anywhere else on the screen stops the transport from playing; when unchecked the problem with the mouse ceases, but then VLC does not work.

Answer 4

amuniversum  What audio interface/soundcard do you use?

External Steinberg unit (running on ASIA of course).
