digi 003 firewire not recognized
Hi,
I wanted to share a problem that I had (and solved) with the digi 003 firewire. I have digi 003 and pro-tools 10, running on a HP laptop 8460w with built-in firewire. At some point the pro tools didn't recognize the digi 003, it said that it could not find the hardware. I had lots of stuff installed on my laptop so I thought I messed something up in windows and the drivers etc. I started a clean image on windows 7, installed pro tools and the digi 003 drivers and it worked fine. Then I installed lots of more stuff and it again - the digi 003 was not recognized. Again I got back to a clean windows 7, and installed everything and sometimes it worked fine and sometimes it didn't recognize the 003 at all. it drove me crazy, I thought that something wasn't good in the cable or hardware (firewire)... replaced the firewire cable... re-installed everyhing... To make the story short - I read somewhere that there might be something with the grounding of the electricity. I then tried disconnecting the laptop from the power adaptor - pro tools found the 003. I reconnected the power adaptor - and pro tools could not connect to the 003. The power charger I was using at this room (my studio) is a cheap one from ebay, not the original HP. I then tried the original charger and all worked fine. Conclusion - the cheap power charger probably didn't have the electricity grounding done right... and this caused the firewire not to work fine. So if your digi 003 is not recognized - try dis-connecting from the power charger and see if this helps. Otherwise - make sure you install the 003 drivers of-course. Hope it helps someone |
