Hi. Not sure if this is the correct place, but here goes...
 
My setup:
 
-Midi Controller to PC via USB. 
-SMSL SD793ii external headphone DAC/AMP- fed to HD800's.
-Old M-Audio Fast Track USB (headphone output jack failure, therefore removed from my chain)
 
I'm trying to get multiple programs, such as Jammit, mediamonkey, Cantabile, my vst host, to run with ASIO4ALL at the same time. ASIO4ALL runs one ASIO instance, but not several. I tried using the Steinberg's Multi-Client Wrapper, but never had any luck- it would just crash (possibly not 64 bit compatible?).
 
If there isn't a way to have multiple programs running at once with ASIO4ALL, could I just use my old M-Audio Fast Track USB interface to serve as a ASIO device for all programs, then route the output to the SMSL? 
 
I could go out and get a new USB interface, but I don't need it at the moment and I doubt I could forward the signal to the SMSL. I'd prefer to run the signal to the SMSL as it's a more powerful headphone amp than most USB interfaces have equipped. The HD800's are not easy to drive.

Well,
Asio, Asio4all, WASAPI, etc, run in exclusive mode, so you can not have more than one instance at a time.
(If I understood your question)

If you using ASIO4ALLL
you can not use multi program to driver
You must use the factory driver

  Couldn't get Jammit to work with it.

 
Do you mean with Banana or with what? If you mean Banana then what's the problem?
As Voicemeeter Banana is just a virtual cable driver (with control software) which should work with every piece of audio capable software you can have in Windows (just set the software output device correctly).
