Hi,

A question to those who use USB audio adapter/card/interface as the default device in Vista for playback with XX.

Does XX is in exclusive mode with it:

1. Are you able to see the volume level bars animation in the vista audio device panel.
2. Are you able to change the volume control in Vista mixer when XX plays
3. Are you able to to mute the sound in Vista mixer when XX plays.

I have an a cheap usb audio adapter and I am able to change the volume and mute the sound though Vista's mixer.
If it is a standard usb audio device why does not XX takes exclusive mode with it.

And why it does not complain about it. It just plays the music. Why XX would not tell me that it could not take exclusive control.
