So I just hooked up a Tascam US 1800. Installation went fine and my computer recognizes it as my default sound device. However, for some reason, whenever I use Pro-Tools, it only sends the Pro Tools audio to the interface. Literally EVERYTHING else audio related is sent to other sound devices. I believe it is being caused by ASIO4ALL, which automatically boots every time I run Pro Tools. When Pro Tools/ASIO is off, everything is sent to the Tascam just fine. It's only when I run Pro Tools/ASIO4ALL do I start to get problems. I have tried disabling all other sound devices with no luck. Anyone have any suggestions?

If ever you post technical problems to a forum always include software version, system spec, OS, driver versions at the least.

I'll presume you're running Windows. When a program uses an Asio driver it connects directly to the audio interface, bypassing Windows. So Asio can only be used by one piece of software - It's either Pro Tools or Windows not both of them together.

I'd also use the Tascam Asio drivers as they're purpose designed for your system.

Yes, likely related to multiple audio device drivers overlapping or just using incompatible driver to a wrong device. One should always use vendor-supplied drivers, if such exist. – Internet Human Dec 29 at 10:24
the asio thing.. it depends on the drivers. maybe it's true with asio4all, but i've used a perfectly fine native multiclient driver (manufacturer is less relevant), that routed everything through the same interface without conflicts, questions, or need for settings, daw or not.. – georgi Dec 30 at 11:45
@georgi.m That's news to me. Which one do you use? And do you get the same level of performance (latency etc) out of it? – Mark Durham Dec 30 at 13:01
