No audio with kX ASIO and Cakewalk Home Studio 2004 XL

I posted the same question on the Cakewalk Home Studio Froum without much luck.

I'm using an SB Live! Platinum sound card with the kxProject drivers and Home Studio 2004 XL. They were working fine until I tried to use the ASIO drivers. Now I don't get any audio. I find the kx drivers to be a little confusing when it comes to the routing. I haven't changed any of the defaults.

In HS 2004, I have the following set under Options -> Audio... -> General:

Playback Timing Master: 1: kX ASIO kX Out 00
Record Timing Master: 1: kX ASIO kX In 00
Number of Aux Buses: 2
Number of Virtual Mains: 3
Audio Driver Bit Depth: 16 (greyed out)
Sampling Rate: 48000 Hz
File Bit Depth: 16
Buffers in Playback Queue: 2 (greyed out)
Buffer Size: 21.3 msec

On Options -> Audio... -> General -> ASIO Panel... I have:

21.33 ms 48000Hz
CT 4620 10k1 [c000]

On Options -> Audio... -> Advanced I have:

I/O Buffer Size (KB): 64
Driver Mode: ASIO

Regular sounds are working just fine. It's just HS that has no audio.

Something else to note: Each of my tracks have an Out of A (kX ASIO kX Out 00), and the A bus has an Out of kX ASIO kX Out 00.

If I go to Options -> Audio... -> Advanced and change the Driver Mode to WDM/KS and then restart Cakewalk, I get the message for testing my hardware. The audio works fine, and down at the very bottom of the HS window, it says Audio Running in green.

However, if I insead select Driver Mode ASIO and then restart HS, it does not test my hardware. The audio does not work, and at the very bottom of the HS window where it said Audio Running before, it now is totally blank, or it sometimes says Audio Stopped in red.

I've been looking into this further, and I found something else interesting. If I deleted the AUD.ini file in the HS program directory and then start up HS, I get the following error message before the little HS splash logo shows up:

Has anyone successfully set up the ASIO kx drivers with Home Studio?
Is there something I should be setting in the kX settings to hear the audio?
