Spark doesnt load Kits and doesnt connect to controller anymore

[sparki]

im facing a weird problem. if i open spark standalone or as a plugin it doesnt connect to the controller anymore and if im trying to load another kit or project nothing happens. thats weird because it works in the past and i didnt change anything. i even reinstalled the actual spark beta software, but the problem is the same. rebooting the system doesnt solve the problem either.

Is Spark doing sound when you click on the pads on the GUI or when you start its sequencer?

disconnecting and reconnecting my usb-audio-interface solved the problem!
but this is still weird, because shutting down the pc doesnt helped.
i think the problem is maybe the usb port on my notebook...

anyway thanks for reply

Glad to read this.
FYI, if Spark can not make any sound (i.e. is not connected to an audio device) it wont be able to connect to the controller and to load any kit.
