Hello,
currently I have the problem that when Sibelius is opened, all other sounds, such as YouTube or Audacity do not work. Youtube wont even load the video. This is really painful when Im writing music with recordings I made, because I cant here my recording when Sibelius is opened. I already tried reinstalling Sibelius... didnt work.
Thanks for any help.

If Sibelius is using an ASIO driver, it is likely to be single client, which means you won't be able to play sound from other applications at the same time.

Either
1. Use a different driver (MME, DS) for the soundcard or
2. See if ticking "Release when Sibelius is in the background" makes a difference.
