ASIO no input or output to select?

SO i got my WinXP x64 running and sonar .. and my Delta 1010LT soundcard..

but the sound was choppy .. so i wrote to M-audio and asked them if it was the beta drivers fault .. and they said i should try to change to ASIO because it would work better and i might get rid of the pop thingys ..

so i was all happy and jumped into sonar and set it to ASIO ... BUT... then i cant select anything .. no input or outputs or nuttin! .. its like my soundcard is not there anymore ..

i tried to ckeck and uncheck the "disable audio app use of Monitor Mixer and Pachbay router" thing in my M-audio sound pannel but with no effect .. i still cant see my soundcard in sonar ..

i also tried clicking the ASIO Panel button in Audio Options in sonar but nothing happens when i do that?

im i missing something very simple here?.. do i need to copy some dll file somewhere or something?

i read the sonar help file and the Delta 1010 manual but nothing really says anything about it .. its all about settings and stuff .. but i cant set any setting when i cant see any options!

im hoping somebody knows what the problems is here ...

There are no drivers to select ... both the boxes are empty ...
bothj the "input drivers" and "output drivers" boxes in the "drivers" section of Audio options are blank...
thats my hole problem .. . i dont know why they are blank?!

oh good idea to test that ... *testing* ... mmmm yup ..wavelab works fine with the ASIO drivers .. i finds everything at once and plays back without any problems :) ...

so it IS sonar thats being a poopie program right now :( ... ..

got any ideas how to make sonar behave?

Make sure the 1010 isn't selected as the default Device in Windows. Windows doesn't typically use ASIO so if it locks your hardware into WDM or MME mode then when you switch SONAR to ASIO of course the driver isn't available.

That's the reason I often recommend folks leave their onboard sound device available as the default Windows Audio device (kind of a decoy) and use their pro or other sound device for SONAR.

See if that helps. Otherwise we'll have to get the thnkin' caps out.

Make sure to select the Timing In and out Master as well when you get your ASIO drivers available

i've had a similar problem using a tascam 1884 on windows 7 64bit

i have gotten it to work by a combination of the following methods...meaning i don't know what makes it work, but i do all of these things.

1) change to mme or wmd drivers...so it will run a scan of available inputs and mhz, then go back to the asio.

2) close out of sonar

3) turn off my 1884

4) reinstall the windows driver as well as the sonar driver

5) shut down my computer

6) connect/turn on my 1884

7) turn the computer back on

8) load sonar

and then the ports are listed

again, i'm not sure what causes the problem, nor am i sure if it takes all of these steps or just one.

that is just the process i use to make it work.

good luck!

I had a similar problem not long ago, not with the same soundcard as you but it may be the same cure.
I reinstalled the USB-firmware and drivers that belonged to my SC.
