Default Pro Tools 8 can't find M-Audio hardware

I know this issue has been discussed quite a bit in the past, but I have tried all of the suggested solutions from this forum, as well as what I could find from a pure Google search.

Here are the details: I have created a new Vista box so as to be able to run the older version of Pro Tools (Pro Tools 8 M-Powered). All of the drivers are up to date, not to mention the latest PT 8 update, and I have the Vista SP 2 in place as well. The only device I want Pro Tools to recognize is my Oxygen 25 midi controller. I have the latest drivers for it and Vista recognizes it fine.

There are no other audio devices save for the Realtek on board audio, and I have verified that is the default output device. Does version 8 of PT not know how to work with the Oxygen 25 controller? I'm running out of ideas as to what else this might be caused by.

Did you disable USB power management? It shuts off any USB ports it "thinks" are not being used.

Pro Tools 8 M-Powered only works with compatible M-Audio audio interfaces. If you do not have an M-Audio audio interface plugged in, PT will not run.

The OP is referring to a midi keyboard controller. I had the same issue (although I think it was with PT 10). I had an older M-audio midi controller (I am pretty sure it was an Axiom) that had been made obsolete. It used to be plug & play.

I couldn't believe it when I found out I could not use it any longer. They just didn't make the needed drivers. It especially made no sense since Avid haad purchased M_Audio in the interim.

But my keyboard was pre-buyout, and only the newer models (made and sold by Avid) were compatible. And isn't that just in keeping with the Avid (formerly Digidesign) way?

Old hardware becomes outdated - that's the way it is. You just reach a point where you can't find the drivers.

BTW: You should be able to still use if you power it with an external power supply and just use midi out.
