Audio Express USB port stopped working

Post by sheistydogs »

I have an Audio Express 6x6 that I'm using with Windows 7 x64. I've been using it for about a year now when suddenly my computer stopped recognizing the MOTU interface. It's plugged in, turned on, and nothing. I've tried restarting the computer and the MOTU. I've even switched out the USB wires. Any ideas on what's happening?

If anyone else runs into this problem, here's how I fixed it (or did a work around). Simply buy a FireWire PCI card, install it, and then use the FireWire output on the MOTU audio express instead of the faulty USB output. PROBLEM SOLVED!
