Hello (n00b here ),
I just got the M-Audio Oxygen 49 (above) and I installed the drivers from the CD and plugged it in. The PC came up with the usual bubbles, ending with the Your device is properly installed etc.etc.
I then tried both Ableton Live Lite and MIDI-OX. Nothing shows up in the MIDI In devices boxes. I tried with the new drivers, and without any - doesn't change a thing.
In the Device Manager there is a USB Composite Device and a USB Sound Device. No MIDI though.
I finally found the solution (and 12 hours later support suggested the same...). What was happening was that the M-Audio driver's files were being installed, but it wasn't installed as a driver for the keyboard. The generic Windows drivers were being used instead.
What I did was I went into the Control Panal->Administrative Tools->Computer Management->Device Manager->Sound, Video and Game Controllers, right-click the "USB Audio Device" (Window's name for the keyboard) and select "Update Driver". Point it towards the "MA_CMIDI.DLL" file. When it's done plug in the keyboard and you'll get the New Hardware Installation Wizard they talk about in the "manual".
