I just downloaded the free waveform 12 program and when I open it it seems to take over other programs such as Spotify. I can't get Spotify to work if the wave form is open. Anyone else had this problem?
TIA

DAWs like to have exclusive control over audio. With ASIO that is a given.
You can solve this with an audio interface that has a so-called multi-client driver.

There are also various software audio drivers that let you pass audio around between different apps. Blackhole is one (Mac-only I think). I know there are others but their names escape me right now.

A couple of other things to check if you have a 'built in' sound card and the bit rate & sample rate of your DAW (Waveform 12) is different to the general sample rate of Windows. Check the settings/preferences in Waveform 12 match your Windows settings. Guide to checking here - https://samsontech.zendesk.com/hc/en-us ... d%20output.
