I can't get the ASIO Drivers to work in Ableton on my Dell XPS M140 with Windows XP Media Edition installed and an M-Audio Black Box plugged into USB.
M-Audio says that its products are incompatible with Media Edition.
Has anyone made this work or do you have any ideas how this problem might be solved short of installing XP Pro?
The Black Box will work with the Direct X drivers but the latency is unacceptable.

Problem:
Windows XP Media Center compatiblity alert (updated 10/6/06).
Solution:
Windows XP Media Center is a version of Windows specifically designed for integration of TV and radio features into the operating system. Microsoft gives the following information:
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, available preinstalled on Media Center PCs, allows you to pause and rewind live TV or radio, digitally record an entire TV series or program category, watch DVDs and videos, organize and play your music collection, and showcase digital photos.
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 makes it easier to access digital entertainment wherever you are. Here are some of the top features:
* Multi-tuner support (record two shows at the same time and watch another previously recorded show)
* Support for digital and high-definition local TV
* Built-in CD and DVD burning
* Windows Movie Maker 2.1 with DVD burning
* Internet radio
* Enhanced setup wizard for easier installation

Needless to say, these features, while useful for live media purposes, tend to significantly interfere with the vast majority of audio applications. Here is an (unofficial) list of software and hardware we have found to be unsupported in XP Media Center:
• Digidesign Pro Tools (all versions).
• All Steinberg software.
• Cakewalk SONAR (all versions).
• The iLok.
• Focusrite interfaces.
• Lexicon Omega.
• All M-Audio devices
• Edirol interfaces.
• Alesis USB and Firewire mixers.
• All MOTU hardware and software.
• All E-MU hardware and software.
• Native Instruments software.
• Waves software.
• Mackie Spike. Tracktion has been known to work, but is not guaranteed.
• Novation X-Station series.
• TC Eletric PowerCore series.
• All RME hardware.
• All PreSonus hardware.
• All TASCAM software and hardware.
• Blue Snowball and Samson C01 USB Microphones.
• Universal Audio UAD-1 cards.
Keep in mind that this is an unofficial list. These are simply products that we have found, through our experience and through manufacturer requirements, to be incompatible with XP Media Center. For this reason, Sweetwater can only provide support for either XP Home or XP Professional.
