I agree with Presonus’s first two points but I’m puzzled by the suggestion to put the board into compatibility mode. Did they explain why you should run that way?

Nothing appears to be wrong with the hardware as far as I can see so not sure why interface isn’t being recognised. I’ve been using software for a while now. I haven’t changed anything about my setup. Any ideas? Thank you!
