Using Voicemeeter Banana.
In A1 I have external USB-connected audio device running desktop speakers using ASIO driver.
In A2 I have integrated soundcards analog output for headphones using WDM driver.

When I want to use only the headphones and the physical device in A1 is powered off, so that its name in Banana blinks in red, also the A2 and A3 become inactive. This is unwanted behaviour, I would like to have output in A2 when A1 is offline. Using WDM driver for A1 has the same problem. Powering on device in A1 activates A2. Using other drivers for headphones doesn't help. Only the ASIO driver is available in Banana when the external device is powered off. Setting headphones to A1 and external device to A2 with WDM driver seems to work, but I would like to use ASIO driver (that is available only to A1).

I could not find any info about this in manual or forums, can anyone help if it's possible to configure Banana to use A1 ASIO driver and A2 analog output even when A1 is offline?

it is explained in the user manual as first pages : page 10

The output device selected as output A1 is master, it means that all streams will be slave, pending on this device,
it means all other I/O, but also all virtual ASIO drivers, all VBAN Streams... everything.

That's why we recommend to select your best audio device as output A1 (possibly ASIO because usually more stable than windows audio device).

we note however the problem, and will think about a solution, the output A2 could become master if the A1 stop working for example... will see...
