Computer Experts Help! (Griffin Powerwave and ASIO)

Posted by monsterbill on August 2, 2004 at 11:38:50:
I am using a Griffin Powerave as the external soundcard for my Windows XP Pro computer. It sounds much better when I use the USB/ASIO driver from http://www.usb-audio.com.
The problem is, that when I install the ASIO driver, the volume control on my control panel and media players stops working. (The volume control turns that pale grey color Microsoft uses to indicate that an option isn't available.) The sound playback control panel recognizes that the Griffin is plugged in and is the output device. I have none of these problems when I use the built-in driver in XP, but it doesn't sound as nice.
The folks at Griffin had no idea what was going on, and http://www.usb-audio.com hasn't gotten back to me.
Please help.
Thanks,
Bill
