Ensure "Listen to this device" is unchecked. Click on it and then click the "properties" button. Go to control panel -> Hardware and Sound -> sound. If I had a cigar I would have that thing glowing red ….I'm making the assumption you're on windows vista or windows 7 for the Windows side of this.
I am now halfway through a bottle of Red Wine while typing this. I turned off the UR44, flicked the CC to OFF, turned on UR44, cranked Cubase… went to VST Audio System… selected Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO driver….Ĭubase happily “found “ the UR44 and remapped all my Ins and Outs…… So all this time, Cubase has been saying “nope, not interested in the UR44 while you think you are connected to an IPAD numbnuts” (Or my kids messed with it, which is always a high probability here, but I will let them off) While in transit, or when retrieving from my bag to set up at home again, this little switch got flicked to ON! Turns out my issue was “kind of” related to me taking the UR44 to a rehearsal room, and it never being the same since. So believing all was lost, I dragged out my Zoom R16 tonight to give it a go as an audio interface … with the added bonus of the Mackie Control for some hardware sliders and such.Īs I went to remove the UR44, that’s when I saw it…………. I came to the conclusion that the UR44 was now at the top of the suspect list and was malfunctioning in some way.Īnd I did all the “ hey use a different USB cable, use a diff USB port” rhetoric you find about the place… which made little sense to me.
So this ruled out the laptop as a culprit. $1900 Australian dollars I could have done much more with………Īgain, Cubase could find the drivers… but no love on the hardware (couldn’t see the hardware “the device” so wouldn’t load the driver) Imagine my heartbreak when all was installed and my shiny new laptop delivered the same dagger to my heart….”Device Could Not Be opened” This was a last resort for sure… and one I sadly resigned to last week.
I even had someone from a pro audio store suggest I get a new laptop as mine was 7 years old.
It was doing my head in that the drivers were installed… and Windows agreed that they were installed and working properly.Īnd the UR44 operated ( allowed me to hear sounds generated by the computer) but just would not map in Cubase. After re-install, the properties now show it to be “Manufacturer: Yamaha Corporation” and it’s working now.Īfter 8 weeks of crying I have solved this and it could not have been simpler…Īnd its nothing that was even close to being mentioned at any point on any forums I have scoured late into the evenings. While I did find an entry for “Yamaha TF”, when I right-clicked on properties, it said the Manufacturer was Microsoft. It should be under the “Sound, video, and game controlers” section of the device manager. To back this theory, before I reinstalled the driver, I was snooping around the device manager looking for the Yamaha Steinberg driver.
However, there was a Windows Update in the last week…which leads me to conclude that the Windows Update overrode the Steinberg driver somehow. So, this Nuendo had not been used in a week and only a few hours of one day in the last week was it used at all. For quick reference, here’s the page with the driver info: įor me, Nuendo is installed on a church computer that is used once a week when we record our praise band (with social distancing of course).
It is very quick and I was not required to unplug all the USB stuff as the installation manual instructs. The solution for me was to uninstall the old driver (from the Windows Settings - Apps program) and then re-install the same driver. I had this issue after using Nuendo for just 1 week.
