In case there are several asio drivers on a system (e.g. due to the asio
drivers installed by cuabse / nuendo / wavelab or more than one soundcard
with asio drivers) Pd automatically chooses the first one!!! To change this
you have to open the registry (type 'regedit' at the dos prompt) and
navigate to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> ASIO': You'll see an
alphabetical list of your ASIO drivers. Pd chooses the first one (i.e. the
one on top of the list). To get another driver to the top you have to change
it's name to start with a character (or characters) that make it appear
before all the others in the alphabetical order. Restart your system and try
Pd again... BTW this trick works quite well with my motu828 to avoid using
the steinberg 'faked' asio stuff with Pd...

good luck (and don't forget to change it back before (de-)installing any
software related with your soundcard!),
