Can't play CD's, wav's, etc with any media player while Guitarport is runni

Question

If I try to play a CD with WMP. Real Player, etc while using my Guitarport, the sound pops, beeps, or drops out altogether. Is there any way to fix this? I'm using an Audigy SE card with a Win XP system.
Guitarport works fine regardless of whether something else is playing. My media players also work fine as long as Guitarport isn't running.

As the GuitarPort is an audio interface too, you have 2 of them working at same time. This may cause the issues you are having. Also, if you are outputting from WMP (etc.) into GuitarPort and same time playing guitar -> is your USB speed capable for it's
Have you set the preferred audio devices on Windows Audio -settings (try w/ setting the Audigy or GuitarPort as preferred device and tried w/ selecting the "use preferred devices only").
Are you using ASIO drivers w/ GuitarPort? Does it's sound have issues too (or is it only WMP, etc. having them)?
Have you tried if increasing the output/playback buffer (WMP, etc.) helps (if there is sucha setting)? Also, which device are you using on WMP (Options->Devices>Speakers->Properties --> (select Audigy), etc. w/ other player(s)).
