Hi and welcome to the forum,

Do you have the latest driver installed, please?

3

yes, I have; still it says can’t find hardware, even though it gives me the choice to pick it…

4

yes I have installed it… should I be installing cubase 8.5, instead of 8?

I had massive issues with M-Audio 192|4 in Digital Performer. It was unusable there, with a similar error, and I actually had to buy a new interface to use with DP.

M-Audio has a history of driver issues with their audio interfaces.

I will never buy another. They also have practically no support.

Hi,

It depends on your license. Cubase 8.5 is different license in comparison to Cubase 8.
