Windows is really stupid and it takes over control of the drivers for from audio interfaces automatically, so if you are trying to use them for a program you have to disconnect the audio device from the windows operating system.
Under or next to the Windows start icon click on the "type here to search" icon and type the word "sound" in the search area in the window that pops up. It should open the sound settings window. This is where you need to put windows onto the built-in sound drivers that come with the PC motherboard. So in the "choose your input device " field use anything but the X32 or whatever sound card you want to use in Jam Kazam in this field, you can do the same for the output section.
There is also an option in the done the page a bit called "sound control panel" which will open the old school sound panel from windows of prior years. If you select the recording tab the microphone for instance then the "advanced tab" has an option "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device", and another "give exclusive mode priority", I believe the prior will allow one application to prevent another application (program) from using the audio device. So turning off "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" will make so more things can control the audio interface. Play around with these settings if you want both windows and the audio to use them at the same time, but it may cause an issue with latency. (just guessing). Not the sound panel microphone is an example. You would probably look under x18 Air or whatever device to for exclusive mode priority option.
I just did some testing and it seems if you turn off the "Allow Exclusive Control of this Device" it worsens the test I/O Var in Jam Kazam from green to yellow rating, but the Latency didn't change with my laptop.I have no idea what the test VAR rating Means.
