Mixxx takes control over sound card being in use

[Wihola IT]

I was recording a screencast about mixxx with OBS software and I was setting up Audio. In ASIO for All window I accidentally selected my 3rd sound card I was recording my voice through. I didn't take much attention. And than I ended up with talking 5 minutes without voice being recording. That really pissed me off.

Is it an OBS's problem that it didn't hold the sound card?

Can mixxx do not access sound card that are in use?

Win7. ASIO driver.

That sounds like the domain of ASIO4ALL. Mixxx takes over whatever sound card you tell it to use, or tells you that the card is invalid/unavailable if the OS/driver reports it as such. So in your scenario, if you weren't using ASIO4ALL, Mixxx would have complained that the card was unavailable (because the other application would have had exclusive use of it.)

Ok, what is wrong now? In Ubuntu. I want to record a screencast, I disabled any drivers and soundcards in Mixxx so OBS could record voice.

Here is my setup

When I start mixxx MIC doesn't work.

Level is -inf

When I quit Mixxx MIC is back. Why is it so?

That screenshot only shows your Output tab. Do you still have a mic configured in the Input tab in Mixxx?

None for everything in Input.
