X-fi Asio Effects mixdown ?

Question

Has anyone managed to record the effects which are meant to be available at the virtual input ports ? It doesn't work for me.
I cannot get any signal from virtual asio effects returns in Cubase vst. The effects can be heard through the master mixer on buses fx1, fx2, fx3, fx4 but not recorded back in through mix rear l/r.
Also the reverb doesn't seem to have a virtual input - does that mean it's useless for asio ??
thanks

Answer 1

Okay, I've tested Guitarrig (the standalone app, not the VSTi version) and on random I set the ASIO-latency to 2ms, and I get instant response, no clicks, pops or any other anomalies. Of course, the signal doesn't go through Cubase's extensive audiosystem, so the only conclusion I can reach is that Cubase is the culprit for me, not the ASIO drivers. I haven't tried any other programs yet, I'll install a Cakewalk/Logic Audio-demo and try them out
ps. I noticed absolutely no lag @ 2ms latency with GuitarRig-standalone. Didn't even bother trying 1ms.
ps2. Curious. I opened Soundforge 8.0 and set audio to Creative ASIO, a latency of 2ms and recorded a couple of seconds from the mixer (some mp3 I was playing), and when I played back the music was mostly noise. I had to increase latency to 5ms to get a clear result and I got a click/pop once or twice. I decided to try ASIO4ALL and set the latency to 1ms and not a single hickup. This makes it all more of a mystery.
