Audio startup error: failed to create buffers. Familiar?

Cantabile

So I’m using a Presonus AudioBox 22VSL as my ASIO interface on a Win 7 machine. I can use Cubase no problem. I recently downloaded Cantabile and encounter an error “Unable to create buffers.” Here’s a snippet from the log file.

Thoughts?

Ok, posted too soon - I chased it down. There are two ASIO drivers installed, “Presonus Audiobox ASIO” and “Presonus VSL Audiobox ASIO” - it defaults to the VSL version, but the “Presonus Audiobox ASIO” driver is the one that works.
