Have tried other usb ports as are available - all on the front - or rather sides - of the laptop - Sony vaio.
Windows discovers the device and calls it usb composite device.
When I try to load it as a sound card it asks for a driver disk 0 but I don't have one as all are contained within the exe file. I have tried using Sparkle 6 which came with controller, spark 7 and 2.0. No difference.
I want a driver that identifies the controller as a sound card. when I have installed midi controller it finds the controller but cannot do anything as it says connection failed - which I would expect when it is registered as unknown composite device.
Any further ideas guys?
thanks in advance
