[RWP] A controversial topic, to upgrade or not to upgrade

YOu can pick your driver mode in sound forge, and many sound devices 
present themselves in more than one mode.

So you might get your device in mme classic windows driver mode, and it 
might be more stable there.

Therefore sound Forge in the middle of editing switches the entire audio from the USB interface to the native speakers on my laptop. If I plug-in a pair of regular headphones that has a 1/8 inch jack, everything is fine. Any ideas of why this happens? This also affects obviously a screen reader as well, when sound Forge does this.

I still use version eight as well, mostly for its Asio support. Not necessarily for time critical stuff, but because of the way my audio interface works. Overall, I think I actually prefer version seven though. I use it with NVDA, most of the time with speech disabled, as I find that speech slows me down unless I need to edit specific values or something.
