EZDrummer 2 does not release sound

[Marc Lemieux]

If I start EZ Dummer 2 standalone I can only get sounds from it or Reaper, not from You Tube, WPM, VLC or anything else. This persists after I close EZDrummer until I reboot or run W10 sound troubleshooter (which silently changes something). Interferes with workflow alot.  Anyone else have this?

I’m on Reaper v5.981 x64, W10 Home 1809, Rubix 44 interface, Dell Inspiron 15-7579, 16GB Ram.

EZdrummer version: 2.1.8
Operating system: Windows 10

Your audio card/interface needs to have a multi client audio driver to be able to let several applications access it simultaneously. Yours may not have the capability.

I have Roland Rubix 44 usb  audio interface.

When I use EZDrummer as a plug in only. I can switch from Reaper to a CD to You Tube to mp3 player no problem. So I think the audio card is multi.

Only after using EZDrummer standalone does the problem occur.

You have the Roland audio device selected as the driver in EZD2 standalone?

BEST ANSWER

Yes I have the Roland audio device selected as the driver in EZD2 standalone.     But this is now solved –

I got a reply from  support@toontrackab.zendesk.com who said : ” may occur when the computer is using a sample rate higher than 44.1 kHZ. The EZD2 standalone internally uses a sample rate of 44.1 kHz. In this instance try having the sample rates match, using a sample rate of 44.1 kHz via the Playback Devices/Properties area for the PC”  Indeed the PC was set at 16 bit 48 khz, which I changed to 24 bit 44.1 khz and I unchecked the “allow exclusive control” box.

Now I can have EZ up standalone and switch over to a how-to You Tube video and hear it or play MP3s.

Yay.
