Sound output form two sources problem.

So I've googled the crap out of this for days and still can't get a solution.

I'll start off by saying I'm using a usb headset. The sound card is built in. I had to do a lot of research to get my card working. (Making it the default sound device in alsa.)
After modifing a few config files, and some other things I finnaly got it working. However, I notice I can only recieve sound from one application at a time. for example, If I'm playing music, and decide to play a youtube video, youtube crahses. Some other programs just don't play the sound at all. I've tested this with many applications.
I'll try to provide as much info as I know how to.

My /etc/asound.conf  Looks like this :
 

      

pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 2
}

ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 2
}
