Unfortunately I'm unable to read signatures right now with my view of the forums so I still have no ideas of specs and can't point you to the latest drivers. I would recommend uninstalling driver software (whether you are on latest or not) and reinstalling with the latest. Try AUD.INI first though.

I understand--the mobile version thing.
 
I'm on Windows 7 64-bit and am using X2 Pro 64-bit. I have an Echo Layla 3G with the latest drivers for my OS. (Rock solid on my prior DAW, rock solid on this DAW before this).
After updating the sound card drivers didn't work, I uninstalled the sound card from device manager, did a reboot and did a new install. NI-negative impact.
 
Still don't know what 'Try AUD.INI first though' means. I'll do a complete fresh OS install as a last resort. Having to reinstall all of my software would take so much time, it's worth me exhausting all other options first.
 
Thanks!

Renaming the AUD.ini in your SONAR user directory and starting SONAR will rebuild the AUD.ini file.
 
The re-personalization described above also resets the AUD.ini and the rest of the config files.

Got it. Thanks.

Hey Razor I see you have an ADK DAW. Why don't you call them up. They have tech support for free if I'm not mistaken.

He he. I called them first. Since it's virus related, I'm trying to resolve it myself first. I did get an AV recommendation from them though.
 
Thanks!

Well, we're getting warmer. Good news is that I was able to switch driver modes to WDM and then the profiler found my sound card, and I can use it--actually, that's very good news.
 
The bad news is that no matter what I've tried so far, I can't get X2 to recognize in ASIO mode. I prefer this mode, and the drivers for my sound card totally support ASIO 2.2, I just don't know what to do.
 
Are we getting closer to a solution? I didn't do any of the other suggestions you posted yet because of this new information about WDM mode working.
 
Many, many thanks,

PS. It might be my over-active imagination, but the now time needle seems less smooth/fluid during playback--I'm tired too, so that's a factor.

I would do a clean install of windows and of all your programs on a new hard drive or completely wipe the drive that had the virus on it and use that one. 
 
Even though you got rid of the virus, there 'could' be lingering effects and damage that isn't fixed with just the removal of the virus. Its prudent that you do a brand new install of windows and everything else. I'm almost 100% sure everything will work like it worked before the virus...

Just an update. I'm prepping all my backups, restore sources, etc. for a complete wipe. I've been trying to make it work and it just isn't performing right no matter what I do. It's a <1 year old high-end ADK DAW, so I shouldn't have to deal with quirks--right?
 
Anyway, normally I would be really bummed to have to go through this process, considering how non-musical a system wipe and reinstall is (even with the Paragon software ADK ships with) BUT, I just so happen to be in the writing stage of a new tune and only using my DAW for scratch recording. So, I'm looking on the bright side.
 
Thanks for everyone's input.

And there was just a thread asking about who has their DAW on the internet and who doesn't, This just re confirms my stay off the net philosophy. 
 
I'll toss another bone, If it were me, I'd order a 128 GB or 256 GB SSD drive. Do your fresh install onto that without touching your original OS drive.
