Hello Avid Comms,

Within the last 3 months, I ditched the Imac for running pro tools for Windows 10. However, a multitude of problems arose. The first is you need a third party Asio driver to run your Interface, Which when used, You cant use any other audio generated on your computer since it disables your sound card. I record podcasts and this is extremely unfavourable for people phoning in, running music in the BG etc.

I am looking to solve this problem once and for all. I've tried the ASIO driver workaround to resolve the issue above and had no luck.

So do I need a new sound card that supports ASIO? (if that is even a thing)

Are there audio interfaces one can use that don't require ASIO?

I am a Hobbyist/Amateur audio engineer if you even want to call me that so forgive any ignorant questions.

Currently, I'm running with Mackie ProFx12 Mixer, and Protools 11.
