My Aardvark Q10 keeps giving error messages that it can't connect to the driver.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled the driver, unplugged the PCI card and re-seated it, unplugged the connections from the PCI card and the breakout box, reinstalled the driver again.... and again.... and again.... I even tried moving the PCI card to a new slot (just in the odd chance it'd do anything).
Nothing has changed.
The Aardvark driver has always been very flaky and I run into this problem fairly often, but usually rebooting the PC fixes the problem or at the very worst, reinstalling the driver definitely fixes it. This is the first time it won't respond to any of the above, so I'm thinking it's something going on inside the card.
I was just using it a couple days ago to listen to music, and now all of a sudden it doesn't work and I haven't even touched it. The power indicator on the breakout box is on, so the lights are on, but nobody's home.
Am I out of luck here or does anyone have any other ideas to try?
I'm considering picking another Q10 up on ebay since they are cheaper than anything else with 8 intputs + mic pres (which I use for drums). But I don't know that I want to spend any more money on this POS company.... I had an Aardvark 24/96 before the Q10, and it stopped working also. No wonder the company went under.
This is very frustrating as I just don't have the money to spend on this right now. But it's either get something or don't do music, which is just not an option.
