Sound issues external soundcard

Hello,

i am having issues with my external soundcard (Devine Centro 2i20).

When I am using Cubase al of my sounds are suddenly disappearing; even the indicator on the rightbottom (audio activity - main mix output channel) isn’t registering any audio even thouhg 5 seconds before it was.

When I close Cubase and restart it again it is working again and waiting for the moment the sound will be gone again.

I downloaded the latest drivers for the soundcard.

Below are my settings:

Any suggestions?

Usually these sort of problems are the connection rather than anything in Cubase.

In Windows - Disable usb selective suspend

Then, in device manager power management for all usb hubs turn off “allow computer to turn off this device to save power”

Make sure you’re using a USB cable, specified for data and short as possible….as usb c is now standard for phones there are many charging cables that are not suitable for realtime audio

Yeah, i think the problem is within the audio interface itself.

I downloaded the latest version from the Devine website and now he is saying that he can’t find the interface (see pic below).

Also; when I have disconnected the external audio interface Cubase tells me it is still receiving audio - input eventhough I am not playing…

I have no clue how to solve this one..

Does windows see the interface in device manager?

Is your cable definitely data rated?

I use the cable which came with the device.

I switched to another usb - port and now the problem is (kind of) solved.

90% of the time cubase recognizes the devine centro 2i2o and it is usable.

10% of the times Cubase (out of nothing) cant find the device anymore and switches to the internal soundcard. When I restart the laptop or cubase it works again.

Not the best result possible but I only use the external soundcard for my beatmaking and the rest is VST - based which can run on my internal soundcard…

I have to say Cubase sometimes feels kind of instable lately; out of nothing it decides to forget al my assigned knobs on the midi - keyboard. Again; a restart of everything and it works again….
