Problem with "--softwareaudio" fix.

So I have one of the effected sound cards that causes the game to BSOD and I have to use the --softwareaudio fix to keep it stable.

I am running into some problems though where once I open Path of Exile, some other background applications like Skype no longer have sound until I restart my PC. It really is a big issue since I use Skype to communicate with friends while playing.

Anyone have an idea of how to fix this?

If they have fixed the sound card bug I should be able to remove the --softwareaudio tag and everything should go back to normal. This has only been happening since I added that to the launch commands to fix the BSOD errors.
