Hey I've been struggling with this problem for a while now and thought to turn to reddit for help.
When I boot my computer the audio quality is fine, but after I open ableton any sound I play from outside of ableton is reduced in quality.
My soundcard is a Komplete audio 6 and ableton is running their komplete Asio driver, and in my pc audio settings it says the main out through the soundcard is a WDM driver.
I think the problem is whenever I use the asio driver it lowers the quality of the wdm driver, which is fine for when i'm using ableton but the issue is that the quality doesn't pick back up when I close Ableton.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this? Ive been in contact with native instruments and they have only linked me to this article which didn't solve the issue.
Cheers
