He's speaking a lot, but not saying much.

By chance what sound card did you have prior to the M-Audio?

If you've previously had a Creative card installed on the same version of DirectX, then I believe DirectX may be trying to use hardware acceleration.

Unfortunately the M-Audio doesn't support Direct Sound, which is hardware based, so if that's what you're trying to use it isn't going to work.

You'll find you'll have no end of problems with M-Audio.
