Need help with output plugins

[alti0204]

So i recently prefer using 320kbps mp3 files rather than 128. I notice some noises while musicbee is playing them. I tried to switch to WASAPI output instead of DirectSound and it sounded really nice. Only problem is that musicbee will mute other applications because of that plugin or something. Is there a way to fix this? Or are there some other plugins i can use? Please help since i really don't know much about these stuffs.

WASAPI is exclusive. If you stop the playing track (not pause) then other applications can use the device.
If thats an issue for you then you need to use DirectSound which is shared
