It works beautifully but you have to turn off all sounds in AW.. well at
least i did : ))) I dont care.. I dont need midis or sounds.. I love
this

Perhaps it needs to use DirectSound then since AW is most likely hogging the sound and Windows is too stupid to play sounds in multiple non-DirectSound apps...

Haven't had that problem with a full duplex sound card. Of course, the only full duplex sound cards I've been able to even FIND are
the SB Live models, and you being you, you probably despise Creative.

Why would I despise Creative Labs? I used to own one before this Diamond crap, but it supports both Aureal3D and EAX. However, my next sound card will probably be a Soundblaster since Aureal is defunct. At any rate, all full-duplex allows is recording AND playback simultaneously; Windows still requires DirectSound apps to play sounds from multiple apps, which is why AW can be running and Media Player 6.4+ can play WAVs, but if you try to play a WAV in Sound Recorder, GoldWave, or Cool Edit, it doesn't work because AW is hogging the wave device and those apps aren't DirectSound capable. Why Windows doesn't just use DirectSound by default for ALL apps instead of that useless MCI is beyond me...

Yamaha sound cards are good too, I regret not getting one.

Because it's even MORE futile bitching to Microsoft than it is to AWC.

*shrug* Soundblaster Live has no problems with AW and AW Ear at same time, add Winamp using non-Directsound mode and it still works
just fine. However, cut to other PC with normal grade sound card (That Ensoniq POS that Creative continued producing like morons)
and you get a max of one MCI wav at a time. Perhaps it's in the drivers?

Try AW and Windows' Sound Recorder (or other non-DirectSound apps) at the same time. I seriously doubt WinAmp doesn't use DirectSound...

You can change Winamp's output plugin so that it doesn't use DirectSound.

Perhaps, but has Wing tried AW and Sound Recorder (and other TRULY non-DirectSound apps)? I haven't dorked around with WinAmp (and have no need to since Media Player suffices) but if it's still working with AW despite it's supposed "non-DirectSound" mode, I doubt it's not still using DirectSound in some way...

The plot thickens, I just hit up another computer with AW and Winamp at the same time in the same configuration, and it wouldn't
play Winamp. However, sound recorder doesn't play in the background on either machine (By design?)

The best assumption that I can make is that it's driver and hardware specific how sound behaves.

I doubt it. Try other non-DirectSound apps like GoldWave (http://www.goldwave.com/) and Cool Edit (http://cooledit.com/) with AW.
