Issue: After playing a song in Musicbee(first second, as long as the song starts playing) and pausing, no other applications will register a sound, including youtube, windows system sounds. The issue is remedied when MusicBee is restarted, but upon playing a song again the issue will recur.
This issue does not occur when using DirectSound with 32bit output on.
Settings:
WASAPI
Speakers
[use 32bit output]
[smooth fade when stopping]
[normalise volume of tracks with replay gain tags]
