well obviously some people have asio working on biab mate as can be seen from this
thread. one music app i work with has great asio support but still people encounter
probs cos often their system isnt set up right or the drivers etc etc.
it can be a myriad of things. mebe something is different in 2010 ..but the fact some
are useing asio ok leads me to think it either depends how a particular user
has the pc set up and/or the sound device.
for example a few years back i had initial probs getting an edirol device working in powertraks.
(different edirol device to yours.)
it would have been easy to blame the software for the probs.
but i persisted and found 2 things i needed to do. one being changeing a
setting in the edirol control panel, and the second changeing a setting in powertraks preferences.
then it was smooth sailing.
but its jolly difficult to help you if you dont detail your edirol contro panel settings.
heres what i suspect is happening in "some cases" to people.
a "possible got ya" .

many people are useing various music software with biab.
eg a regular multitrak daw software like sonar or samp or whatever
where they might be recording traks at high bit depths and/or sampling rates.
so they set their sound device control panel accordingly.
BUT..then they switch to useing biab without changeing the sound device
control panel settings.
now i might be wrong , but sound device control panel settings have
caught out more people than i could shake a stick at.
right now i'm trying to help someone else with a sound device and its asio set up
in a well known multitrack software that supports asio very very well.
once again oodles of people have asio working just great but this person
cant get it working. once again i suspect either a control
panel setting and/or how the sound device is set up in the multitrak softwares
preferences.
what i would check in your case is to run a test.
ensure in the edirol 700 its set to 44.1/16 for biab and same for sonar.
and see if things are resolved.
but i cant help without info on peoples settings.
mebe there is a prob with 2010 asio...the only reason i'm questioning if there actually is ,
is due to the fact ive seen too many people blame various music software but in fact it was
their sound device settings that were often the problem.

re pc catching up to mac.
come now mate.
the only reason you hear about so many pc probs
from what ive seen is there are zillions of pc users, many new to
recording who often dont understand how to set up their systems properly.
ive seen it all on pc. bad pc purchaseing decisions,
useing crazy low memory amounts like the other day where i came
across someone with 256 of ram ..lol, or useing some old clunker donated by auntie flo,
or poor sound device choice and a ton of other reasons.
it comes back often to lack of knowledge as jazz said.
in some cases ive even found an unwillingness to even learn
win basics like copy a file..lol.

its easy to use the pc as a scapegoat.
the fact is whether mac or pc its gotta be set up right.
and the user has to be willing to set it up right.
