you will need a externally powered USB hub

This could be a number of things, lets go over the most likely.
-It is possible if you have an older laptop that you have USB 1.1 ports instead of the needed USB 2.0 port required to provide the device power. (If it has a separate "optional" power supply, use it.) Or all of the USB 2.0 ports are being used. Try unplugging all of your USB devices except for the interface and try it in different ports.
-If this isn't a problem and you have free and powered USB 2.0 ports then the next most likely culprit is bad drivers. Try uninstalling the drivers for the device (if you've installed them) and downloading the newest drivers from the M-Audio web-site and installing those.
Great choice of gear, I use quite a bit of M-Audio equipment myself and it's good quality for a good price...
Hope this helps. Thank you.

under device manager you need to reinstall the drivers and controllers-

There should be a Vista driver available for your device at the M-Audio support website.

Post your results back here.

Ensure that the unit is installed with the proper drivers, try reinstalling drivers.

I guess your output is leaking and you are recording it again to the track.
Try recording with lower output volume. :)

Pcs needs drivers, and vista is far from being completely stable..

Disconnect the mobile pre...and go here:

Hi, please restart your piano and attempt to get sound again. If not working still, then you can attempt a factory reset. Otherwise, please change the head phones or audio out device and play some test songs or keys. Thank you.
