DAW disabling all other sound sources when using my SSL 2+ Audio Interface

Don't really know if this is the right place to be but I'll give it a go.


I use a SSL 2+ Audio Interface with my Acer Predator laptop. Everytime I open any of my DAWs it's like the program eats all the sound processing and doesn't let me hear the sound of any other applications until I close the DAW again.



Please help and let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks!
