DVS 7 has not signal from vinyl at Windows 7

I know that if you doesn't disconnect the soundcard before uninstalling the drivers, the cleaning isn't perfect, this is why I told you this at the begining.

So please stop advice me to check cabels and reinstall driver without connected U46 it looks like you advice to child without interest what you advice.

Please read what I wrote, I never told you to change cable and about removing the U46 it was for a clean uninstall, I didn't told you to re-install anything !

You finally make it work and this is what matter...

Im sorry but its a another guy with similar problem. I tried his solution but without success.

That's someone else's quote...



But i keep wondering what was the cause of the problems.
One day it works, the next day it doesn't.
This without any changes to the system.
Automatic updates are turned off, no changes in hardware.
In the past i used asio4all drivers and after a while i tried the mixvibes v3 drivers, also working. The system wouldn't run on esi drivers though.
Now it's the opposite, the asio4all and the mixvibes drivers don't work, but now only the esi drivers do...

I hope you understand that i am curious for the cause of this problem, so that i can prevent it from happening again in the future.
The two main troublemakers are Windows 7 in 64 bit version and the soundcard drivers in my opinion.
It's not like i am a pro DJ playing at big clubs every week, but i do have a gig or two every month in a local dancecafe and once in a while at a club or little festival so i have to rely on my stuff.
So i hope you can help me out here...

Thx in advance.

So i found the solution...suport man was right with low AC from USB
after i disconnect mouse from other port signal is ok and mixvibes works good (connected only U46). Thanks to all who want to help me.

Ok.
I'm sorry but I have some many posts, users and mails that sometimes I have everything crossed in my mind.

I've had the same problem. Mixvibes always worked properly on my desktop computer but since I bought a laptop it stopped working. I installed everything properly as usual but I didn't get a signal threw to the software. I tried asio4all and even installing it on a windows xp partition.. Nothing worked.
Then I found out that my usb mouse (or other usb devices) was the problem. It seems like a laptop can't power the asio card enough if other USB devices are plugged in. After disconnecting the mouse everything worked again..
Is there a fix for this? Like an adapter for using an external power source? Because I can manage without the mouse but I use other USB MIDI controllers too and it's a shame if I can't use them with mixvibes anymore..
Hope this helped some one..

There is a power adapter for the U46 MK II, I guess this will help you out of the mess

There is even more...

My laptop has only 3 USB-outlets and I need more (VCI-100, U46Mk2, Trackball, UMTS-Stick, Korg NANOKONTROL, USB-Stick, DMX-Adapter...)
So I was forced to have a look for how to add ports without a hub because some of the gear can't be used after a hub, wether active or not.
I found a "PC-CARD" which can be plugged into the port in the side of the laptop and gives additional 4x USB 2.0. And it has the port for a 5V/2A power source which I also combine so it gets enough power to serve some technical units...

There are three advantages: FIRST you have a second USB-controller which gives you additional bandwidth for USB. When I plug in my VFX-CONTROL and my U46Mk" with some other stuff at once windows gives me a message that USB-bandwidth is exceeded...until I use my PC-card for one of the consuming units like a soundcard.
SECOND you have more USB-ports...
THIRD you can unburden your laptop from exessive power consuption through the USB ports... maybe you can get rid of some problems this way. (as above)

Some thoughts about your problems:
As the systems worked before maybe there is one idea how you "killed" the driver: The U46Mk2 has the possibility to give +48V on the Mic-channel, BUT if you switch this on accidentally it will cause a surge in power consumption in the moment you plug it in or switch it on. Then almost all USB-ports will have problems and break down instantly. Then the driver might give a "broken" note back to windows and windows from now on locks this driver out to prevent system damage. I don't know if Windows is able to do this but it might be. So it locked your ASIO and the card kept on working in all other modes and with a new driver.
But if this really happened then you were lucky to the max. I know at least two people who really crashed their USB-port with having phantom power switched on.

So anyway it is a good idea to use an external power source like blackbrook said before or even a pc-card USB-adapter with an external power source if you have a weak laptop.

this is a problem with the i3 , i5 & i7 both 32 & 64 bit & the way it handlys ASIO drivers on start-up
has nothing to do with mixvibes or your sound card

I'v had this problem with my HP dv6 2120 tx i5 for over 9 months now with both my ESI u46 USB sound card & my Edirol fa-66 firewire sound card ..so I know its not just a usb problem

the spec for my HP is intel core i5-430processor 2.26 with turbo boost up to 2.53 GHZ
500 GB hard drive ( 7200 RPM )
with 4096 DDR 3 SD-RAM ( 2 dimm )
so on paper mixvibes should run good with these PC spec's...but it dont

now with my 4 year old ASUS p4 laptop it's a 2.4 porcessor
with 1024 ram and a 120 gb harddrive mixvibes runs good & stable with both my sound card ( usb & firewire )

take a look over it the serato forum ...a lot off piss off people with SL1 & i5.... it just dont work....serato says its a USB 1.1 problem but I dont think it is..


I do tell people not to buy the i3 , i5 & i7 laptop

Ok, now I'll stay home because I can see that PartyVibes & Wazza can handle this without me !

Concerning the i3/5/7 I made a big amount of trials and errors and in the end I was thinking that not all core i have issues. It may be on the motherboard/chipset (how things are done on the I/O side) and it would depend of component or brand but couldn't define this.

I know that some desktops that have issues didn't have after a firmware update (Gigabyte if I remember well).

It is so true that even the Apples have the issue too, and if you add this to the naturally weakness of their usb port...
