Hey Lazareaux,

I do understand your disappointment but please note that I'm just a single user (as many others here) that had experienced that and I posted what worked for me and also for some others that I've been trying to help.

Please explain better what's going on for us to help you.

1) You said: "have tried the route suggested but to no avail"? What do you mean? Did you try my entire step-by-step or the link for downloading the drivers?

2) Have you connected the X3L before in another computer? Did it work or is this the first time you're trying? If it's the first time, please note that it's not "plug and play" and you must follow the procedures I've written above and also follow the steps indicated when the Line6 drivers are being installed

3) Tell us your OS (operational system) and version. Is it Windows? MAC? Which version?

Take your time and be cool. I'm not their employee, just a user like you trying to give a hand on an issue that worked for me and had been helping some other users with this same problem.

And also... you said that your experience with Line 6 has been great. So it's clear enough that your unit hasn't got a problem. It's just a software issue with procedures to be followed. Once you take them easily, hopefully it'll work as great as it has worked so far

Take a look at this:

http://line6.com/support/message/346288#346288 - worked for 2 people (yes... they have a HD model, but the procedure is the same)

So read the steps carefully, choose your correct OS and follow the steps.

Post your results.

Good luck!
