Universal Control doesn't seem to be controlling universe

Alright, so a couple years back, I bought the M-Audio ProFire Lightbridge, and to this day I really don't understand why I didn't get the FireStudio Lightpipe instead. I already had two Digimax FS, so it would have been the obvious choice... So, I just found an FSLP on eBay and fixed a long-standing judgement error. Yay!
But...
I opened a project in Studio One and set up the outputs to run the Main out through ADAT 1+2 and got sound... in mono. No amount of fiddling would fix it. Tried it in Adobe Audition as well, with the same results using a stereo output on [1S] ADAT 1+2.
I've used MOTU's mixer software, so I kinda had a clue what was going on with Universal Control, but again, not much luck there. I could click the "on" button to toggle the headphones and main out mix from MIXER to DAW1+2 / 3+4, but nothing actually changed when I did this. The mixer portion grayed out, but the sound didn't even skip a beat regardless. I tried panning and moving the faders, but again, no difference whatsoever to the sound. It appears the mixer has absolutely no influence on what comes out of the box.
Incidentally, the "ASIO Control Panel" button in Studio One and Adobe Audition doesn't appear to do anything either. The control panel icon is in my systray, and I can open it from there, but it doesn't pop up or respond at all from the DAW button.
One last thing -- I had recently used the M-Audio FireWhatever, and things did not go well with both drivers and control panels installed together. The PreSonus control panel was temperamental as heck.. would stop responding, lock up, show driver version "0.0.0.0", and all kinds of stuff. Audio would work for about 1 sec, then cut out for 1 sec, then work for 1 sec, so on. I uninstalled the M-Audio and PreSonus drivers both, rebooted, installed the PreSonus drivers again, rebooted, then it started working as described above.
Help.
