Hello,
My friend hired me to set up Cubase 7.5 on his new Windows 8.1 PC, and Yamaha N12 mixing board. Previously he was on Windows XP, and everything worked fine. He bought this new Dell computer, and I installed a firewire adapter using one of the PCI slots, as the N12 does not have USB. That seems to have worked fine. The issue is that although the computer recognizes the Yamaha (it shows up in the device manager), Cubase will not recognize or connect to it. I’ve been trying to figure this out for 3 days now, I’ve tried various drivers, the Microsoft legacy firewire drivers, and even had a Steinburg tech remote access the PC. The tech was unable to figure it out as well. He refered me to a Yamaha specialist line, but everytime I call them I get a message saying that their systems are down, and to call back later…
Does anyone have any advice? I am pretty experienced with computers, (better with unix systems though) but I have never worked with this kind of hardware before. Any help would be appreciated.
