Marco,
no, really, I'm pretty sure it's an Exclusive mode, not only do I see it while looking into our source code, but there are also many way other ways of testing it (e.g. that other audio is terminated when any application goes to the Exclusive mode).
From the log I see why in the case of RME HDSPe AIO card it doesn't look like the Exclusive mode - because it really _is_not_. Due to failure in initialization routines of WASAPI, MM automatically switches to out_MMDS.dll plug-in. This looks like another problem: MM tries to switch to 96000kHz, 2 ch, 24 bps mode, but WASAPI reports that it fails. On the other hand, 44100kHz, 2 ch, 16 bps is used without any problem. Do other applications work fine in the failed case?
As for the problem on S/PDIF output of the Asus MB, I'm still trying to figure out what's going on there. Could you please try:
1. Other than S/PDIF output? I'm actually not sure whether this can be the source of the problem.
2. Download a testing version from
http://www.mediamonkey.com/beta/out_WASAPI.dll and see whether there's any difference. It would help to add more details, e.g. in which modes you don't hear anything and in which there's a noise.
Btw, in order to publish here only the result of this process, could you please e-mail me your reply?
Thanks,
Jiri
