Stacey,
Regarding the Kmixer issues, and based on your comment above about ASIO drivers etc, could you confirm (to the best of your knowledge and pls excuse my ignorance on the matter) whether that means if my sound card claims "ASIO 2.0 drivers for low latency (as low as 2ms) multi-track playback and recording at 16bit/48kHz or 24-bit/96kHz*" it will by-pass the mkixer issue?

I am waiting for delivery of an Audigy 2 card now and although my PC is being built for photo-editing, I suspect I'll plug it into the M gear at some point.

Many thanks

Nick

Rgds,
