I'm with Daryan on the driver failure causing your ongoing problems. The initial one may have been caused by power interruption or the USB cable getting pulled?
Definatly weren't any power issues or pulled cables.
I noticed that if I turned the advanced switch off, next time I booted up, the UA-5 was loaded with the standard driver automatically (with win2k) and the special driver was gone and needed to be reinstalled. The UA-5 is still recognized, but not with the special driver (in my case the WDM) and you get the error message you described when trying 24 bit, any sample rate.
This could be part of the issue....must find user manual!!
Other observations:
Twice lost power on the UA-5 - caused the pc to spontaneously reboot
If you turn off/disconnect the UA-5 you must close and restart Wavelab for it to be recognized again (UA-5 must be on)
I am aware that the UA5 must be plugged in and turned on before the computer is booted up and that the power must not be interrupted without shutting down the comp first.
I copied the driver install disc onto my pc so I don't get caught without them if it fucks up again.
GREAT IDEA! +T for the feedback!!!
The only thing that I don't understand is why the problem occured in the middle of the set!! If the drivers weren't working properly why was I be able to get a signal in the first place??
Everything was working perfectly for Kaki King. I shut everything down and changed the UA5 battery before Gordon. I rebooted my comp. and everything was perfect. I checked to make sure the UA5 was selected as the soundcard, checked that the autosplit function was on, and checked all of the UA5 settings. Everything looked good and I was getting nice levels for about and hour, then blam nothing. When I noticed that there weren't any levels I tried to start recording again. This is when I got the error message: The audio card cannot support the current bit rate. Check to make sure it is not in slave or autosync mode.
Does this inspire any other ideas??
Thanks
