I have tried checking the 'Release audio device in background' box in Audio Setup and have also unchecked the two boxes in the Windows audio settings but I cannot get both of them to play audio at the same time. This is most used when I want to play along to a certain song using my MIDI keyboard with a piano preset. If I keep the Release Audio box checked, it will stop audio being played from Studio One, as expected, when I switch to another application. I can see this change happening in the Audio Setup menu as it changes Audio Device. If I dont check this box and only un-check the boxes in the Windows Audio Settings then only the sound from Spotify/YouTube will play. I can see in Studio One that the volume changes but no sound is produced. This is the only problem I am having after switching from FL Studio so I would really like to get this fixed.

I run Windows 10 64bit, I have an i7 8750H and 16GB of RAM. I don't use an audio interface, just the built in audio card from my laptop. I use the ASIO4ALL V2 audio drivers(?)/device. I used all the same equipment and drivers on FL Studio without any issue so I'm unsure as to what the issue is or even if this is possible.

Could it be possible? As I know the streaming music takes the same soundtrack on one device. Maybe try to convert Spotify to MP3 local files? So that is able to resolve the track conflict I guess?
