First thing you need to do is disable the onboard sound if the motherboard has one or check audition's settings to see how it is outputing and to which and such. When in doubt just disable to onboard sound and check the settings throughout your players and AA3 until they all work off the EMU 1820M. Audition the settings are in edit>audio hardware setup. I had a similiar issue with AA3 in XP using onboard audio for the output speakers and an audiophile 192 for input recording. Disabling the onboard controller and using the audiophile exclusively for input and output solved the problem. Are you recording music like multitrack band stuff or just using your setup to transfer analog to digital only like old cassettes and such? If you are just transferring analog to digital you could just use a different program like audacity which works well with a two card setup. You just lose the ability to use ASIO drivers unless you want to compile audacity from scratch yourself to include them.
