  • USB Interface as Sound Card?? (p.2)

In other words, all sound cards for a computer have Windows drivers included that are called WDM/KS drivers for the designation. (they may also have ASIO drivers if you can record through the soundcard although some may not), and they also include usually the MME drivers which are not really any good at all in the drivers you install for your sound card.
 
Or Windows will not see the sound card and keep asking you where are the drivers for your sound unit, or mark it as being un-usable in Windows (no drivers installed).

ah, I get it spacealf! I did indeed NOT have WDM drivers downloaded. I only installed drivers out-of-the-box, I didn't look for updates on their site. I suppose now would be time to read up on the wealth of knowledge you guys posted in terms of sampling rates and stuff. Thanks a bunch, guys! If I need any help, I'll know where to look

My drivers do not show up separate, all of that is in the programs for the unit that are "drivers" when installed.
So to me, a complete driver package included with the unit should have all the drivers needed. Like I said the easiest perhaps way to check is if you see them in Sonar in the Audio submenu item (on mine at least) in the Options menu.
If you can switch drivers (on one of the tabs) then you have all the drivers, and Windows should be working with your audio/interface.
 
Maybe someone who has such a unit can tell you if all drivers are included. I would think they would be, because any sound card like I stated made for a Windows computer would have the Windows OS drivers first, and perhaps include the others like the ASIO drivers and or MME drivers.
??
To use the Windows OS drivers (WDM/KS) in Sonar, first you have to do the Wave Profiler on the General Tab of the Audio submenu item under Options for Sonar.

here is your drivers current version and manual in whatever language you like to read it in.

(drivers should have come with the unit, at least the older drivers version).

Thanks, spacealf. I did in fact get it, it was in fact the exact fix, haha
This box is great, it DOES let me run X3 with ASIO while Win7 runs on WDM. See, the CD that came with the Audiobox doesn't contain the installer for the WDM or MME drivers, only for ASIO. The box only showed up as it's own device, but now it is actually shown as an audio device. Pretty sweet! Thanks again, guys!
