The device is operational (M-AUDIO DELTA 1010LT Sound Card). I even wiped and
reloaded WIN XP SP2 and it is still grey. The card seems to accept input and
shows output on the device's own VU Mete, but the it's like the volume is
turned all the way down.

Just a thought... What is listed in Control Panel> Sounds and Audio as the
main mixer? On my desktop, the nVidia mixer is merged with the Windows
Volume controls (or mimics it so much that it appears the same as Windows
Volume Controls). However, I've had other sound cards/chips and drivers
that installed a separate mixer. Adjusting volume meant using that program
or by adjusting the preferred mixer in Control Panel to using the Windows
Volume Controls.

Yes, the delta 1010LT has it's own control pannel and it's own volume. it
replaces the Windows volume, however if you go to Windows control pannel the
volume is grey just as the delta master volume is in the system tray. Or, in
other words both Windows and the delta system trey volumes are grey as well
as the Windows control pannel volume. The delta's control pannel volume works
and you can see the VU Meter raise and lower when playing a sound, but it's
like the master is turned down. Also, you can turn the delta control pannel
volume all the way up and hear just a little of the sound.

Did you play with the speaker volume controls in Control Panel>
Sounds/Audio> Volume> Speaker Settings yet? Sometimes getting the speaker
volume in sync with the sound card's volume controls can be a bit of a
project...

Actually, the speaker settings and device volume controls on the volume tab
in "Sound and Audio Devices Properties" control pannel util are all grey
(part of the problem). It's strange that none of this was happining and I did
not install any new HW/SW. Not that it matters, because I have already wiped
and reloaded with just the soundcard and the app I use with it. It has to be
a hardware prob with the card which sucks cause it's a pro studio card that
was over 300 bucks. Tis strage the only indication of anything wrong would be
the master volume control. Hell, at least catch fire or somthing!

Gary, that's way more sound card than I've ever used! I'm poking around the
m-audio website and searching with google. Do you have the Delta Control
Panel installed? A thread here from someone with your problem. Fixed by
updating driver:
