Showing up as an "USB AUDIO DEVICE" not "TRIGGER FINGER".

It's unworking now..I have reinstalled the drivers 2 times...rebooted a bunch...

no love.

Initially when I plug it in it shows up as Trigger Finger but with a exclamation mark...and about a second later after refreshing the device manager shows up as "USB AUDIO DEVICE"

Enigma doesn't see it either.

I'm sad.

anyone got an idea?

Because you're fucked man - using a PC. Getamac

more bullshit outta washington

try deleting and re-installing the drivers a couple of times and maybe before that try rolling back the drivers see if that helps

Make sure it's not plugged into a hub.

That said, my BCR always shows up as USB Audio device and it works great, sometimes the TF does too....

After about 4 driver reinstalls and 15 rebootations it seems to work again as a "Trigger Finger". Whatta stupid thing though, still only %50 of the time and it's not like I have been changing any settings along the way.

I just did the SAME thing.

I think they need a driver update or something.

Also another crazy thing is that it seems to only work on ONE USB port, my laptop has 4 in total....only works in one of them.

Would using a regular MIDI cable as opposed to the whole MIDI over USB thing guarantee me some more stability?? Anyone know??

Thank You

Are you using 2 M-Audio devices?

I had the same issue. I called M-Audio and the tech told me that this is known issue when you are using at least 2 M-Audio devices (for instance, I have Trigger Finger, Oxygen8, and Fast-Track USB)...there is a conflict in Device Manager.

It does NOT affect the performance of the Trigger Finger or the Oxygen8 though.

When in doubt, call them!

That's interesting... what was the solution?

I have the trigger finger and an O2 which would explain my issue

Yes I do. I have the firewire audiophile instaled. That sucker has never gave me any grief and the new drivers have been rock solid.

I love your signature. Sounds like me...mwahahaha

Each time you change the USB port the BCR is on, you gotta run the driver updater again.

I have a similar issue with my trigger finger...kit only works with one port. On a laptop. I've had odd thigns before with USB & laptops, and ultimately think it's a power issue on the laptop's USB ports. When I use a good POWERED USB2.0 hub, it works flawlessly. As does my Clavia G2, which also suffers intermittent USB problems, also except when on my powered USB hub.

So, try getting a hub that comes with a power supply.

Aghh...just another thing to carry around in my arsenal. Thank you for your help though, I will try that tommorow.

It would be cool if you could power the thing with a 12V battery for problems like these.

It does have a power connector, you should try it if you have an extra wall wort (I think it's 9V?). I needed the hub to handle the number of devices I have, so it's in my bag no matter what.

My PadKontrol won't run usb-powered on my 7-port hub, even though there are no other usb items connected. Yet on my 4 port hub it works just fine, even though it's filled. (FWIW it's a Targus)

You might not need to power the hub, maybe you just need the right one?

M-Audio recently released a new driver for all thier MIDI controllers that support Enigma (of which the TF is one). I'd highly recommend installing that new driver.

cheers,
