If I saw this correctly on the M-Audio Legacy devices page.... this PCI card supports ASIO.

Have you tried loading and using the ASIO driver for it?

WAS & MME are not good drivers for some of the audio gear we use. I use MME for BB on some of the machines but prefer ASIO depending on what I'm doing. MME is generally OK if you have all audio but mix in some midi and a real time synth and latency goes through the roof. I can't speak for WAS since I have never used it.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.
