ASIO and WDM on Windows XP Media Center

Confusionator · 30th March 2006

Has anyone gotten ASIO and WDM applications other than Pro Tools working successfully on Windows Media Center?

I know that Pro Tools is incompatible with this version of Windows; I wonder whether Cubase, Sound Forge, etc. are also incompatible.

From my understanding, and has been confirmed by a few sources but not tried by myself, Windows Media Center isn't really considered a different operating system than XP, in fact all it is is XP Professional with a few "addons" that could be shut off to make media center behave like XP Pro. Like i said i haven't yet tried this yet with protools, but i have with Cubase, Nuendo, Sonar, as well as Reason 3 and Acid Pro 5. I haven't noticed any strange behavior while using Media Center. I have noticed software companies not mentioning if MCE is compatible or not, my hunch is because it is plain ol' XP Pro.... hope this helps.

Hey
I've got sonar 3 running fine on Windoes MCE using my ASIO4ALL drivers. My plug-ins are performing well too. My understanding of the OS is the same as Dxsare's. I have not done any tracking with this setup however - only mixing.
