SB X-Fi Titanium HD and Sonar 8 asio drivers issue

Hi,
 
My question is has anyone gotten Sonar 8 to work with a SoundBlaster X-fi Titanium HD card using the ASIO drivers?
 
Installed my new SB "HD" card and Sonar will not play through my speakers when I select the ASIO driver.
 
Why did I get a SB? Well, I needed a dual-use card and only had the RealtekHD on the mobo. This thing won't hardly drive my headphones. The SB seemed like a good choice...
 
I went to the audio setup and can see the ASIO as a choice but when I select it, I either get a message saying it can't use my device or that it is already in use, or...no message and when I play a track, there is no sound. (haven't even gotten to the recording part yet).
 
I've been reading a lot on the forums here and some suggest that I should use the 32 bit version of Sonar...
 
I've tried a lot of different settings and sequences. The SB devices are listed, then they are not, then they change from what I set them to when I go back and look in the Audio options. Sometimes the drivers of the sound card get corrupted and the SB diagnostic has to "fix" 'em.
 
I got it to work using MME drivers, and I don't recall if I had any luck with the WDM drivers.
 
Thanks,

K. Problem solved.....
 
Guess you're wondering how huh?
 
In another message somewhere on these forums concering a different version SB card, someone posted this:
 
Here's the link to the four dll files:
 
    box.net/shared/8loilkeij4
 
After copying them to your system32 directory, start->run the command:
 
     regsvr32 /s ctasio.dll ctppld.dll ctdproxy.dll ctouser.dll
 
So, I did that and viola, Sonar 8 works fine after selecting the ASIO drivers. I first uninstalled all the Creative software, installed again from disk, didn't let it update anything and then copied those 4 files to system32 directory (didn't overwrite anything) then ran that command and Poof!
 
So now I have a good card for my games and listening enjoyment as well as a device I can plug my guitar into to record without latency.

I had a problem with ASIO4ALL.  I installed it for a different sound card (not a SoundBlaster) that did not have ASIO.  The sound card worked but it knocked out my regular recording interface device and the only way to get it back was to uninstall ASIO4ALL and then do a complete reinstall of my recording devcie.

technically asio4all is not a "driver" it's a WDM wrapper.  in other words it allows the host to use the ASIO driver mode but it wraps the WDM drivers of the soundcard into ASIO mode.
