Hey, guys, I've had a problem for about a while. I can't ignore it any further and I thought asking here for some advice might be a good idea (plus, it provides some extra CTG activity).
My technical setup now consists of a X-Station 49 keyboard, a Sirus MXP602 mixer and a newly acquired Sirus DXM85 microphone. There's just one catch.
In the past, I could turn on my keyboard and have no trouble playing something else in the background, like a Winamp song or recording in Audition or whatever. Now, for some fucktarded reason, when I turn on the keyboard I can't hear anything else. Literally. I've tried listening to something in Winamp at the same time; the graphs may be working but no sound comes out. And when I turn it off, I can listen just fine!
This sucks balls because I want to benefit from my new equipment and record stuff in the background. But I can't because I can't pick up anything on the line-in while the keyboard's turned on. So, basically, in this situation I have to finish the song in Reason, export it to mp3 and then record stuff over it in Audition.
I am thinking of upgrading Adobe Audition (necessary) and possibly reinstalling the X-Station. But first, I'll ask: has anyone else had this kind of issue?

Not entirely sure about the environment/equipment
but! did you try changing Winamp Output? to WaveOut instead of DirectSound if that is no help at all (lol)
Could it be your new mic (i believe) is interfering with Input/output shit.
Have you heard of Asio4All ?
this may fix the problem by allowing an input AND output to be active simultaneously.

Yes. It didn't work.

No, but I'll look into it.

Thanks for the suggestion, NapuZ, but I just fixed it and found out it was a different problem. Somehow my default audio device had been set to "X-Station" instead of "RealTek HD audio output".
So, yeah, I didn't need ASIO4ALL in the end.

I recommend you do, it will blow your mind away how much stuff you can run on the same cpu with asio4all (or any properly configured asio driver in fact)  . You can have a "recording" setting with your latency 10ms, and a "gonna run much more stuff then I need" setting.... Running 10 massive vst[i]'s or something 
Bottomline is..... directsound wasn't made for musicmaking, asio was..... |

I'd still recommend trying out Asio4All in general though. This little 3rd party driver can work wonders on soundchips which don't support asio at all - latency-wise.
Had some luck here on my cheap realtek ac97 driven chip and I'm able to go down to 5ms without any disturbing glitches so far.
