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.

This is a new build so I didn't have another card in this system prior. When I bought the M-Audio sound card I didn't relize that they weren't going to release a new driver. Serves me right not researching more considering the hours upon hours upon hours I spent researching all other aspects for my new build. Though there are people that really do like M-Audio.
Basically I want to use the card for gaming mostly and eventually I want to edit home movies.
Zebodog, could you please explain further your statement, "You'll have no end of problems with M-Audio"? What do you know, have learned, read and/or experienced? Just trying to learn more for future reference when I go to build in a year or two.
Also, what can this card be good for considering the reviews I've read from 2 years ago were very favorable. In other words, I'd hate to throw it out. Other games are fine BUT if the driver is causing my crashes I'll dump it.
