Ok, i bought this card yesterday, and now ive been playing aroudn with it a bit, got it working alright. But in cakewalk metro which came bundled with it, half the tiem i cant choose to sue the ASIO drivers option, and it just gives me an error saying 'the card is in use by another program'. However it is not. No other programs open, and the system sound is using the built in card. ALso, i cannot seem to record any higher than 48khz (sample rate?) and it gives me no option for 16/24 bit recording. . . . . .

Your sound card must be used for something to get that message. It could be possible that if you are usein Metro at the time of the ASIO edit option, that is the device it is referring to. Sampling rates on Metro 5 range from 11.025 kHz to 48 kHz.
