Renoise isn’t active in the Task Manager after it is closed. I don’t have a problem when I use the DirectSound drivers.
I’m going to send a message to Tascam about this, because if its only me that’s having the problem then it has to be the audio interface. Though I know little to nothing about Hardware, I do see that the problem gets exaserbated the more I use Renoise (if I open play some sounds and close then everything else is fine, if I have a crazy song that I work on for an hour, then mysteriously my sound on the rest of my system comes back an hour after I’m done with Renoise).
That being said, I do have one conclusion after all my screwing around:
1.9.1: I have no problem with anything. I can load a crazy song, play it forever, and play audio elsewhere simultaneously all of it is kosher.
2.1: I have the problem.
2.5: I have the problem, and it is worse.
Maybe something like PDC is where the problem occurs? I don’t know.
Good job with 2.5 I am very happy with it.
