So I'm using my girlfriends M-Audio Mobilepre USB soundcard and some while ago I downloaded the driver from M-Audio, after using it with ASIO4ALL before.
It improved the performance and latency quite a bit.
Now yesterday it told me I had to restart it as admin to complete the installation. I clicked yes, clicked yes when vista asked to allow it to be run as admin. and then nothing.
It doesnt show up anymore, anywhere. The only thing I can find is it's uninstall file.
And ASIO4ALL is crackling and skipping all over the place on my latest project, even with max'ed out buffer.
any help on how to get the M-Audio driver running again? Or how to at least reduce the ammount of skips, crackles, grainy tempodrops and all that?
You could try to remove the faulty driver manually. Open the Device Manager (to do this, click on Start, type 'devmgmt.msc' in the search box and press enter). Now check under 'Sound, Video and Game Controllers' if you can see the driver there. Right-click it and delete. Then unplug the device, restart the computer and plug it back in, it should prompt you to reinstall the driver.
Make sure you get the latest driver from M-Audio's website, don't use the one that came on the CD with the unit as this is can be outdated and bugged.

When the M-Audio driver (which btw was a fresh download from the website, and made for Vista SP2) isn't installed, it uses ASIO4ALL instead. So it never asks to re-install..
Thing is that the soundcard seems to work better with the M-audio driver than with ASIO4ALL
