computer sounds through firewire audio interface?

[X14Halo]

Whenever I play guitar on my computer through amplitube or guitar rig, I have to use ASIO drivers. The only problem is that when I switch to ASIO, the other sounds on my computer dont work (quicktime, itunes, firefox). I want to be able to watch some guitar lessons online and play at the same time with the ASIO driver. Is this possible?

read your manual....

to answer your questions (assuming your using windows) just go to control panel and choose sound devices, then select your interface as your device. You might now be able to with your interface, i know i wasnt able to with my M-audio duo i had back in the day

THis can cause issues involving SAmple Rate. BE Careful!

if you don't have a separate outputs in use, afraid not.

You normally should be able, I do this all the time with my Podxt live. As someone said above, control panel>sound devices and select your interface, now everything should work with the Asio Driver

Of course you can. Just get a secondary sound card for your OS (cheap blaster clone) to avoid ASIO/driver issues, as your manual surely suggests.

Computer Line Out -> Interface Line In

That's how I do it, but I'm using a MOTU 2408 with line in's to spare

totally depends on the interface.

firepod: works as the windows soundcard by default. always used it this way, never had an issue.
digi002: has a stereo RCA line in on the back and a switch to route it to the monitors, does not act as windows sound card.
profire2626: works as the soundcard by default, can be set in the profire mixer. never an issue.

and those are the only three i've ever configured.
