M-Audio Audiophile 192 PCI Interface Problems

[KempoMRK]

I've recently got this new Soundcard for my PC. I installed it ok, it was detected and device manager says the drivers are installed fine. I can play sound through it and I can hear it fine. Yet it doesn't detect recording options.

Firstly, under the normal Windows Volume Control options it doesn't bring up any Recording options (Refer to Soundcard3.jpg). I thought this might just be because the soundcard uses its own control panel, yet many of the options for recording are greyed out (Refer to Soundcard5.jpg). I have a couple of friends who have the same soundcard and the options aren't greyed out for them. The master volume is greyed out also and cannot be moved (Refer to Soundcard4.jpg).

I'm pretty stuck as what to do. I've uninstalled the drivers from the CD, and installed the latest ones of the website. This doesn't seem to change anything. I've also tried uninstalling the drivers completely, taking the card out, then installing the internet drivers from scratch.

There's no occurance of the old Audio drivers overwriting the new ones, as I've uninstalled the old audio drivers completely.

I'm pretty stuck as what to do, any help would be appreciated. I'm using Windows XP.

I've sorted it. It was actually a connection problem that was the cause.
