What driver were you using on the desktop? That may be affecting the sound you get, and I've found there are some VST's that just refuse to work unless you are running ASIO.

Also, I know occasionally I have to reset my FastTrack Pro ASIO interface (usually by just choosing another driver, then reselecting the M-Audio ASIO driver), otherwise, I get weird sounds.
