[citizenchris099]

you guys are spending way too much time helping the idiot w/the bootleg software. I've seen guys w/legitimate licenses and problems not get this much attention/help.

This thread is a big ball of fail already. I'm just here to watch it spin further out of control.

from the 5V 500mA supplied from the USB port.

ditto! which is enough to introduce an abnormal low-resistance connection between two nodes of an electrical circuit that are meant to be at different voltages. this results in an excessive electric current (overcurrent) limited only by the Thevenin equivalent resistance of the rest of the network and potentially causes circuit damage, overheating, fire or explosion

get it?

are you high?

slap some zener diodes on there for overvoltage protection, that's common practice, without which they wouldn't pass regulatory compliance. the input stage would be a CMOS input of high impedance. this is basic electronic design.

what a load of crap.

and you didn't answer my question about midi.

you're blaming Live for frying electronics, that's completely retarded. you're making a hardware statement.

Popcorn time!

i am only blaming myself for having used cracked software , see:

i've been thru this before.
turned out i had to pay a $274 fine to ableton in order to receive the healing code which unfried my soundcard

so i'm making a software statement

This thread is a metaphor goldmine.

With 3phase its like trying to help an old lady across the street, only to get beaten because the old lady assumed you were trying to steal her purse.

So you are claiming that Ableton confirmed to you that some anti-piracy code in their software created a software-induced hardware failure?

Emails or it didn't happen.

EDIT: even asking this makes me feel like I've absorbed a little of the "tard" from this thread.

[Ed J]

Someone please point out that if he literally fried the soundcard with high current on the input (over USB? . . . ), then there's no way a 'healing code' could fix it, and if it wasn't a hardware frying then a quick driver wipe and factory reset / firmware install should fix that.

[Tone Deft]

I love this guy!!!!



"healing code which unfried my soundcard"

did they send you a bottle of smoke with a USB attachment so you could put the smoke back into the sound card to unfry it?

unfortunately my email account has been hacked as well, as i had been dowloading a lot of illegal software, containing trojans and spyware... that kind of shit

well, as i'm not a native english speaker - i've probably worded that a bit vague, i admit

[bosonHavoc]

well they could just run a dual resonance function through the master usb bus but the trick is to place a dissonant crossover just before the flagellant response element that fried the card
