Oirginally asked in http://line6.com/support/message/356925#356925 and re-asked here since it was an old thread.
No idea if this will bump back up, but I went looking for a solution to a current problem -- and realize I've had it before. Can't figure out how to fix it now.
Symptoms:
- Was using Pod Farm 1.12 in Reaper 64 v4.151 under Windows 7 64, with PodXT as the dongle. Love it.
- Tried to switch presets and went BSOD.
- Now Pod Farm won't process audio.
Well, mostly. Mostly completely. The effects don't work. The amps don't work. The meters show audio going through it and the pan and level pots in the Pod Farm GUI work -- just no amp, effects, etc.
Solutions I've tried (and more than once, in assorted orders of operation):
- deauthorize/reauthorize PodXT and computer (as explained elsewhere in this thread, my mobo doesn't like doing this, so had to do the Pod deauth/reauth on another machine)
- removed, reinserted Pod Farm on tracks
- uninstall Pod Farm, reinstall Pod Farm
- uninstall Pod Farm, delete directories and files left behind after Line 6 Uninstaller's uninstall, reinstall Pod Farm
- attempt to use Pod Farm in 32 and 64 bit flavors of Reaper
- tried installing Pod Farm using older drivers included in installation, as per suggestions in a thread by this guy, who seemed to be having the same problem: http://line6.com/support/thread/25828
- tried various USB ports on the motherboard (ASUS P7P55D-E)
No joy.
Thoughts?
Have you done any recent software or hardware updates to your computer?
If everything was working correctly since you've had it and than all of the sudden doesn't work there must have been a significant change the software or hardware on your system.
Have you tried using a Windows restore point to go back to a time when you knew everything was working correctly on your system?
Have you tried installing the software onto another computer system and tested it with your POD XT? If not, I would suggest to do so to establish if the problem is based with your computer or not.
Well, everything was working great ... then it BSOD'd when changing presets ... when it came back, Pod Farm stopped processing audio and the above-listed solutions have not restored it.
As I prepare to set up a DAW, Pod Farm, etc. on another computer, do you happen to know -- does the symptom (amps, cabs, effects not working but panning and volume controls on the plug-in are working) typically indicate any particular problem and resolve itself with any particular solution?
I have not seen a case with these symptoms before, that is why I am suggesting that you test it on another machine. Testing it on another computer will help to narrow down where the problem could be.
Let me know your results after setting it up and testing it on another computer.
Most peculiar ...
... I updated my video card drivers (Catalyst 12.2 package), and now it works again.
(Also updated Reaper. I don't see anything in the changelog that'd address the issues, but....who knows.)
So, mystery remains, but Pod Farm is back. *shrug* ... Thanks!
Stay in the mix and in the know.
