I noticed that there are two sets of software drivers to load and that two replies to you were deleted from the thread you linked, so I have a concern that those two sets may be conflicting as you have seen this behavior on all software tried so far.
yeah I'm worried about that too... is what prompted me to try both keyboards without any drivers to see if that would have a positive effect. unfortunately the result was the same :( Windows could see the keyboards and all midi applications could not.

uninstall their drivers and see if the keys work without any M-Audio drivers loaded
I think maybe I tried this, it's a good idea... I'll do again right now to be sure... ok, well both devices do operate as class compliant devices, and I'm not sure you intended for me to try this or not, but I tried running Air49 with and without drivers while attempting to run the 25 in class compliant mode only... I even tried this scenario in reverse. still no love :(

Have you already tried uninstall M-Audio drivers for one/both keyboards?
absolutely, yes. and in every combination each with and without.... that is:
49drivers - 25drivers
49drivers - 25nodrivers
49nodrivers - 25drivers
49nodrivers - 25nodrivers
I've tried the above with and without a USB hub and even with changing cables, I even attempted using ferite beads on the cords LOL

They both should be class-compliant, "multiple units" should be no problem for MS drivers (in that respect the replay from M-audio sounds strange).
yes, it seems they know about this and claim to have fixed it in the drivers, but... doesn't look that way from my perspective. I have other issues that simply remains a mystery that I've posted about and not gotten anything solved... it's beyond frustrating.

If that still does not work and you are familiar with computers, you can try to check properties for the devices in the device manager to find similarities. At least for MS drivers, there must be something which clash.
Well I've checked their Location in General Properties and they do have unique addresses... but this is getting a bit tech for me, I'm just looking at numbers at this point trying to decipher things I don't completely understand.

Probably asked and answered, but are you using usb2 or 3?
I've have USB2 and USB3... I've tried both.

I believe you had mentioned that Windows see both controller, and it is within Sonar that you can only see one or the other.
What do music applications running stand-alone outside of Sonar see? Can both controllers be enabled for use in on or more of these applications? (Dim Pro, Rapture, etc).
Bob Bone
yes, exactly so. and not just unique to Sonar but every program I have that uses/accesses midi controller. I've tried Ignite, Midi-Ox even my GuitarRig (lol) even tho it doesn't use keyboards for anything it can still see midi devices... seems to be everything.
big thanks to everyone trying to help!
