Hi there,
Firstly please forgive me for joining this fine forum just to ask a question, I have lurked for some time now if that makes my intrusion slightly more palatable.
I'm an old geezer therefore somewhat hard of thinking so addressing me as you would a toddler would be greatly appreciated.
I've been a gigging musician for 40+ years but sadly the gear humping and general hassle of playing live has become a bit too much for me now and so, to keep my musical interest alive I'm trying to set up a very basic home recording set up.
Having previously used a Korg D1600 for many years I'm not a total stranger to recording at home but I want to graduate to recording on the PC as it strikes me that I might be missing out big time by sticking with the hardware method.
I hate DAW software in general as it never fails to do my head in but I do kind of know my way around Acid Pro and Sound Forge and those are the programs I'd sooner use if possible.
My set up is very simple and is as follows....Edirol M10DX digital mixer > SPDIF (coax) out > M Audio Audiophile 24/96 (coax in) > Reasonable standard Windows XP SP3 Core 2 Duo PC > Acid Pro 7 / Sound Forge 10....and that's it.
The essence of my current problem is this. I have installed the latest ASIO drivers for the sound card and after a stupid amount of fiddling I have managed to get sound through and registering on the meters of Acid Pro 7....yay
however when trying to get sound through to Sound Forge 10, I go to Preferences Audio > Device Type, I select ASIO from the drop down list and precisely nothing registers whatsoever....boo 
However if I select the Windows Classic Wave driver from the list, sound comes through and registers as desired.
I'm not trying to run the two programs at the same time as I know there's something about programs being unable to share the ASIO driver, I have unistalled the card, cleaned the registry of the 10,000 M Audio references and reinstalled the card and drivers but nothing seems to make the slightest difference, Acid Pro works with the ASIO driver, Sound Forge refuses to.
I'm probably missing something completely obvious here (I do that quite often) but quite frankly I'm totally flummoxed. Can any of you kind souls perhaps point out where I'm going wrong please?
Many thanks,
Charlie.
