Sonar X1, Win 7 64bit, and Echo Audio Layla24

Hi,
I took the Win 7 plunge and went for a new computer.  I've been happily using Layla24 in Win XP using WDM drivers.
I see in the Layla24 Win7 readme file that they recommend using ASIO in Sonar X1.  Is anyone using an Echo Audio PCI card with X1 in Win 7 64 bit?  What Echo Audio driver mode are you using?
Thanks,
Sergio

    Using Echo Mia with Vista 64 bit ASIO drivers on a Win 7 machine. Very low latency. Download at Echo's website. I haven't checked lately for Win 7 specific drivers. Probably should.

    Echo Gina3G here. Using latest drivers from Echo website.

    Are you guys suggesting that the ASIO drivers are a separate download from the sound card drivers?

    No, not a separate download.

    Sergio, "driver mode"?
    What are you refering to?

    WDM seemed to work better for XP but ASIO works better with Vista/Win7

    I have an Echo 3G PCI and Win 7 64.  I have used both ASIO and WDM and honestly have seen little to no difference in performance.  Both perform fantastically.  I settled on ASIO just because Echo suggested it, but either one works great for me.

    Hi,
    I have your setup except for Win 7 which in my case is 32-bit. I installed Echo ASIO Driver 8.5. Once I installed X1b I lost input channels #2, 4, 6, and 8. Echo doesn't have any idea why this happened, and after my recent experience with Cakewalk technical support I don't expect any solution from that direction either.

    What are you refering to?

    I meant ASIO or WDM.
    I wonder if anyone has used WaveRT in Sonar X1.
    Thanks,

    That's what I wanted to hear.  I'll try WDM first and see how it goes.

    Bummer.  I hope you get that resolved.
