It usually puts an ASIO driver on the desktop, which I duplicate and put in the ASIO folder of each program. This must be what the manual means about dragging the ASIO driver around.
Yes... this little tidbit and other info. kind of fell thru the cracks as far as the details. Depending on the Classic Mac OS application, you sometimes have to try each ASIO Driver and manually drag it to the Specific application's sub-folder that contains the ASIO drivers...
So, keep in mind, some application can use the version 2 driver with no issues, some will crash or have audio artifacts, so you have to use the version 1 driver, and lastly, some, like "Spark" need the "Metro ASIO" driver to prevent pops/clicks; also there is obviously different ASIO drivers for different product lines of M-Audio and lastly... different versions of the same drivers based on revision...
I know this sounds like a nightmare, but the easy solution is...
1) Find the "ASIO" Sub folder of the Audio Application Host you want to test
2) Create a Subfolder (within the ASIO folder) and call it "ASIO Drivers not Used"
3) Copy ALL ASIO drivers, including the Soundmanager ASIO driver into "ASIO Drivers not Used"
4) Copy a single ASIO driver from "ASIO Drivers not Used" into it's Parent folder, which is the "ASIO" Sub folder (the folder the application looks for ASIO drivers)
5) Launch the Audio application... this ensures you are force testing 1 driver at a time and you know which one... the application should automatically use the single and only driver available, and test
6) Repeat for each ASIO driver
In this manner, you can test every driver individually and figure out the best, non-crashing, non-popping driver for each individual Audio Host Application
