Some M-Audio boards have issues with being the 2nd card under certain operating systems. For example I have an Audiophile 2496 and it will not work as the 2nd card under MCE. So, I'd give their tech support a call and see if there are any issues. I hope the ProFire has better drivers because M-Audio admits that at least the Audiophile 2496, which admittedly is an old card, has 3rd party developed drivers, M-Audio having given up development at some point.
