Audio crashing new laptop

hiya. im a dj and use the laptop for rekordbox ( djing software ) when i load my dj decks into win 11 ( ie.. turn it on ) it loads the ddj800 audio driver to allow the decks to put audiuo thru the laptop, when windows has an incoming notification with audio ( maybe a ping or something ) the audio driver is dumped from win 11 imediatly and i have to reboot my decks to reload the drivers and off i go again. untill another notification comes in .. like a recieved email, win 11 is automaticly doing this. no idea how to stop it .. help….. it worked flwlessly before, so the answer is not disable windows audio or anything like that ., i guess its telling windows to prioratize rekordbox or something .. i stream live and it always locks my decks up…. even if a viewer presses the follow button, the audio on the follow screen stops the audio from the decks.

Is there a chance the incoming message is trying to do some audio to give you the alert? Try turning all system alerts sound off so they don't try to switch drivers on you.
