I use spdif to sync my cards when I do it. Didn't have access to a word clock. As far as I know the 1010lt's do not generate a word clock, but they can sync to one if available.
I wonder if that is part of the issue?
I've read of guys saying they did it using the BNC word clock connectors, but my manual says to use the spdif connection with a 75 ohm cable.
If you have two cards locked together, it should stay locked.
Here's a thread from another forum I try to keep handy-

One more from M-Audio concerning word clock and various driver versions-

Some newer driver versions don't fully support word clock, So I use spdif, keeps it simple.

You'll only need ASIO for DX/VST effects if you intend to use them live; like recording vocals while listening to the reverb from a VST effect in real time, or recording the vocals with that reverb applied (why anyone would do this is beyond me). Using effects on recorded tracks does not require ASIO at all. Actually some effects themselves are more stable with MME, and a rogue effect can cause crashing also. There are a lot of things to keep an eye on with ASIO.
