Thanks Mac! I didn't know about BIAB calling their WDM drivers MME. I guess the output of what I'm hearing could probably sound much worse if it was really MME.

I use all the latest gear since I am a computer tech and build my own music systems from the ground up, so even with the external audio interface that I'm using (M-Audio Fast Track Pro) the ASIO just isn't cooperating.

I'm going to try Frank's method that I read early on in this forum tonight to see if it works for me.
