Is this connected to the fact that I can't run both Sonar and Reason or YouTube or any other sound program at the same time?

Vista has some weird new audio driver setup that unlike XP (which will switch according to which program is active) doesnt dynamically switch and assigns itself to one program and one program only. I think there is a fix for this but as i dont use it myself im not 100% sure if that is for all versions. Atlhough i have been told that things work on ultimate much better. SP1 can also be problematic for this.
