Hey guys!
I have a real brain teaser I need to solve urgently and I'm sure
you guys can help me out. Here's my issue...
I've been using an external firewire soundcard for about a year
with windows vista without a problem for about a year. I recently
unplugged my equipement and comp and moved to a new place. On
arrival to my new place I plugged all my stuff together but found the
sound card driver not being detected in windows anymore. Upon trying
to reinstall the driver, there is a step that needs me to connect the
hardware to the comp but the comp doesn't detect the hardware anymore!
So here's what I did...
- tried another soundcard of the same model(FA66) with same results. Installed fine but then it
it stopped being detected like the other one after restart.
- formatted and reinstalled windows vista on my comp
- tried different firewire cables
- tired the soundcard on another comp and it functioned perfect
- tried another brand soundcard in my firewire ports and it worked perfect, detected it.
- tried the second firewire port in back with same bad results
- tried reloading all drivers in my comp
- tried detecting hardware manually
- no unknown drivers or soundcard driver in device manager
- tried restarting computer, unplugged it and still nothing
- tried seeing if my comp detected it in task manager processes and nothing
Now the soundcard funcions, the cables are good, my comps ports are good, windows is freshly
Installed and all my motherboard drivers are loaded and the soundcard has been working perfectly
for a year.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
