No sound with new Yamaha Audiogram 6

Hi, and greetings. I just bought a Yamaha Audiogram 6 for my laptop, an EMachine with 3 gigs memory, Windows Vista and the Audiogram came with Cubase which I installed and can bring up. The problem is I can't get any sound. My computer sound seemed to go away briefly but is back (for example, I Tunes). i can see the green lights light up on the hardware, and even green go up on the sound meter in control panel, but cannot hear anything either with or without using cubase. I'm hoping it's something simple that I'm missing. I dl'd the driver from the yamaha sight as recommended, and have tried using headphones and also without headphones. I read all the suggestions for this problem in the booklet that came with it, but everything was set properly. The only thing that was different is that when I dl'd the driver I chose a 32 bit even though this is a 16 bit, because the only other option was 64 bit, but from what I've read so far on message boards as a spectator that doesn't seem to be the problem. Well, so now I've joined one. Thank you for your time :-)

I just switched USB ports and got this message when I opened up Cubase:

"ASIO Direct Sound Full Duplex Driver

Impossible to record audio because the Audio Input is not active. Open the ASIO DirectX Full Duplex Setup dialog.
Make sure that a device is selected in the Input Ports section and that its check box is activated."

I opened it and i have for Input Channel 1 and Channel 2 shown as Active, then for Output it says Speakers Realtek High D 1 and Realtek High D 2. All the boxes are checked where it says visible. (In my control panel it shows both Realtek high Definition Audio and USB Audio CODEC are working, the latter with a green check next to it.)

The Realtek (my soundcard I see) is disabled for recording (since the USB Audio CODEC is now my recording implement I believe is the reasoning here), while both are enabled for playback, which i believe is how it should be. I don't know what any of this really means but am trying to gather what information I can, sorry for any irrelevancies here.

I've closed cubase and pulled up Audacity and with some tweaking of the knob levels I'm starting to get recording of sounds, first with hiss and then without hiss even. At least I know the mechanism works now, although perhaps not with cubase.

I'm not sure if it will help, but you can download and install the AISIO4ALL driver and see if that works any better than what you have now. I was having similar issues with Reaper when I first installed it and this driver worked well.

What version of Cubase are you running?
