Title: SparkLE driver not found after win7 64 bit upgrade
Post by: sascha on November 06, 2014, 03:55:50 pm
hello to everyone!
i have just upgraded from win7 32 bit to win7 64 bit. spark 2 software works but when i connect the sparkle hardware the system did not find the driver. so the sparkle is not recognized from the software. tryed uninstal spark 2 an reinstall it several times but everytime i connect the usb cable of the sparkle, the system says "driver not found". If i press "connect to controller" spark 2 says connection is failed. the controller lights lit in sequence as usual everytime i plug in the usb cable. so what am i doing wrong?
until yesterday, on the same machine with win7 32 bit, everything was working fine. any idea?
thanks in advance  :)

SparkLE use no proprietary drivers, it uses a generic MIDI capability of the OS (no driver)

In the Device Manager, in the "Sound video, game controler", you should find it.
For instance here the MINILAB

hello to everybody again. problem still not solved. here a list of things tryed:
uninstal and new install of spark 2.
win7 64 bit up to date, all upgrades done.
tryed to connect sparkle on a laptop with win8.1. everything ok, hardware recognised and working. here i have also cheked and upgraded the firmware of sparkle (but i think it was the same version)
problem is that on my pc the sparkle is not recognised and non trace of arturia is to find in system/device manager/sound video game controllers.
when i connect sparkle with the usb cable, on sistem/device manager, a "other device/sparkle" appear but it says "the driver of this device are not installed" (see attached printscreen)
can anybody please help me?
