On recommendation from Cocoontech, I had integrated an M-Audio Delta 410 into my home automation plan. Originally it resided in my HTPC, but I wanted to offload everything not Home Theatre related to a dedicated server running WHS.
After fighting to get through the install on my server board, I attempted to complete the install of my Delta 410. As quickly as I hit install, it cam e back that this OS was not supported. I tried the XP driver, the Vista driver, and Windows 2000 driver, all failed.
I tried googling Delta 410 and WHS and only got one hit, discussing failures as well. So I tried to come up with a way to trick the installer into thinking I was running XP. Doing some more googling, I discovered an application that Microsoft produces to test Applications called Application Verification.
Let me know if there are any problems with my instructions, I believe this to be the path required, but I had to do a lot of trial and error to get this far.
Cheers,
Rob

- With the Delta 410 installed (Cancel any searching for drivers/installation,...)
- Download and Install Application Verifier from Microsoft.com
- Download the Delta 410 Driver from M-Audio
- Run Application Verifier and add Delta V32 5.10.00.5069v3.exe
- On the left side, select Compatibility, under compatibility highlight HighVersionLie
- In the View menu, select Property Window
- Under Properties,Set Major Version to 5, Minor Version to 1 and Service Pack Major to 3
- Select Save
- Leaving Application Verifier open, run Delta V32 5.10.00.5069v3.exe
- When the driver installation looks to reboot, say "NO"
- Go to device manager and you will notice the Audio device with the yellow Exclamation mark, select it and choose properties
- Select install driver, and let it search for the drivers (it will find the M-audio drivers and install)
- Installation is successful, reboot
- On reboot, it will try to a file "setup.exe" and give you some errors (but in anticipation of this you installed the driver manually).
- M-audio Delta 410 will now work under WHS
Let me know if there are any problems with my instructions, I believe this to be the path required, but I had to do a lot of trial and error to get this far.
