Please help X1 find my audio card

I have an issue where my PC randomly shuts down (loses power) and then reboots.
I have tried a lot of things with no success so as a last resort I've disconnected my 7 year old Delta 1010 PCI card.
In the meantime I want to use my consumer onboard (ASUS P5QL-VM EPU) sound card.
Running the wave profiler X1 shows "High Definition Audio Device" with up to 48K/24 bit as OK.
In pref/driver settings under playback timing master I see the following listed:
1:
2:
3: HD audio speaker [wave RT] 1/2
4: HD audio speaker [wave RT] 3/4
5: HD audio speaker [wave RT] 5/6
6: HD audio speaker [wave RT] 7/8

Under the master channel the out shows the same but the blank 1: and 2: are listed as Bus 2 and Bus 3.
That said I get no sound when selecting any of them.
My video program, Vegas 10 (and Windows Media Player etc) has no problem using it.
Can someone tell me what I am missing please?
Thanks,
Randy

You usually need to switch to either WDM or MME driver mode to use the onboard soundcards. Do that in Preferences > Audio - Playback and Recording.

I had already switched from ASIO to WDM but just tried MME and it works fine....thanks Scott, you are indeed the man!

though the latency is horid mme is very stable

wow no kidding...even with the slider all the way to the left!
Oh well, fortunately I just have to put up with it until I can determine if the Delta 1010 is the issue.
In case it is the Delta, any $200 range sound cards anyone wants to suggest?

Speaking of Behringer, what's the catch with this?
