I've tried the order you recommended and still, no go.
If I switch advanced driver OFF and plug in the USB cable, windows detects the device and installs drivers automatically.
I get sound this way but that's it, can't change settings etc.
I can't even select the soundcard in Cubase 5 or Reason.
I use windows 7 64 bit by the way.
This is so typical, I have had so much bad experience with T.C Electronics and thought Cakewalk would save me since they have 64 bit drivers but........
Do you have any other ideas? Maybe a driver cleaner program perhaps?
