There is no ASIO driver associated with the onboard Realtek audio. They are WDM only.

But the ASIO4ALL program serves as a "wrapper" that allows one to run ASIO on a soundcard like that one.

You don't have to go to all the trouble above to reset RB or PT to factory settings.

Simply close down the program completely first (Exit) and then locate the following two files in the PT or RB folder and delete them:

For RealBand:

rb.ini.

This file contains most of the global PowerTracks settings, especially the settings in the Options | Preferences and Options | MIDI Devices dialogs. It also has a list of the most recently accessed song files.

rb.cfg

This file contains information about your sound card


For PTW:

ptw.ini.

This file contains most of the global PowerTracks settings, especially the settings in the Options | Preferences and Options | MIDI Devices dialogs. It also has a list of the most recently accessed song files.

ptpa.cfg

This file contains information about your sound card


Then simply restart the programs. You should be greeted by the same MIDI/Soundcard Wizard you had when the program was first installed, it will guide you through the selection process. This may be all that need be done to get the ASIO running at that end, as sometimes all the ducks just aren't in a row in these volatile files.

Incidentally, I do the above as a matter of course whenever there is a crash or freeze or the like in the programs because if they do that, there isn't time for the program to write to these two critical files properly. The files become corrupted.
