Detecting Devices

[beardo34]

Hello,

I am using a M-Audio Mobile Pre USB interface and I cannot get audacity to detect it to record. It will allow me to playback recordings through it but not actually make recordings with it. I am using the 1.3 beta version with windows 7. Can anyone help? I have checked on the control panel and it says the interface is working properly and I have tried plugging it in and then starting audacity and still nothing.


appreciate all responses.

Many M-Audio devices use ASIO software drivers. ASIO makes terrific, well behaved software that they insist on being paid for. So Audacity doesn't support it. See if there are Windows drivers for your product

There was a trick from an earlier posting. Drill down to the Device Manager and disable the USB support for your device. Unplug, wait, and replug the device and see if Windows doesn't load a sound driver automatically.

If it doesn't, you need to see if you can find a Windows driver and load it manually.

thanks for the reply kozikowski, I looked at the driver file associated with my usb interface and it says it is made by the windows. I tried uninstalling it anyway and when i plugged it back in, it installed a driver automatically. this didn't fix my problem however as the usb interface is still not detectable in the recording devices.
