It'd be worth re-installing the KS drivers before you start to get
complicated and call M-Audio. 


Best wishes.

Subject: [ddots-l] MAudio audiophile & MAudio keystation49

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!
