I installed my new MAudiophileUSB(aftewr some hair pulling) and was very happy when I loaded up some audio in sonar and everything seemed to work fine. Then, with sonar still open, I loaded up winamp, set it to use the audiophile, and that worked too. So far so good.


Then I went to use the MAudio Keystation 49 and everything went south on me. I have the KS49 on USB, although it has midi jacks.

This is what happened: After setting a midi track to use a softsynth with the keystation, it wouldn't sound. Next, I tried to play the audio again and got a driver error(something like driver doesn't support file format or is in use by another device). I switched back to winamp and got the same error upon playback.

Interestingly, When I turned on the keystation and audiophile and opened up sonar, the midi device name for the KS49 had changed. It used to appear as USB keystation or something like that. Now it (or something) shows up as USB audio device, and the audiophile midi jacks show up as audiophile midi. Darn strange!

Question: Would I be better off connecting the KS49 via midi cables to the audiophile midi 1x1 rather than via USB? It seems like the audiophile is taking over in some weird way.

Note: the KS49 worked fine for me on USB before installing the audiophile. I suspect the audiophile drivers don't like the USB competition.
Any help Please!
