Issue: 
Start Cubase and after choose new Project or loading a saved one, you get a screen that all inputs are missing. 
 
Solutions/Things to Check: 
 
1a. Check that Interfaces load okay. 
Open M-Audio Firewire Control Panel 
(in right lower tray of icons) 
- Hardware tab 
 - Make sure that all input ports are active. 
 - Make sure sample rate is correct and locked to source sync. 
(This often looks fine.) 
 
1b. Check w/the Firewire Device Enabler 
- (Allow device panel to make changes if prompted by Win 7/8.) 
- M-Audio FW Device Enabler window will load. 
- It should say Found a M-Audio FW device. 
 
- If it does NOT, then  
 - a. Unplug the M-Audio FW device and click the Start button which will be no longer dimmed out. 
 - b. Reconnect the FW device when the dialog says to and click the button again. Close the window and proceed to step 2 below. 
- If it does show 
 
2. Cubase 
- Device Setup (Menu  --> Devices --> Device setup ...) 
 - Confirm VST Audio System has correct ASIO driver selected 
 -- e.g. M-Audio FireWire ASIO 
(Note: This is usually the problem. Close and restart Cubase. Don't do the next steps below unless the mappings didn't keep after you restart Cubase. )  
 
- Confirm / Fix Mappings on VST Connections page. 
 - Re-map any channels to the Mono/Stereo inputs of Cubase 
 - By this point, you should be seeing input on the channels.
