Trouble getting POD Farm to detect x3 Live

I purchased an x3 live today and have spent the past few hours trying to get it connected to my computer via usb. I have scoured the site as best I could and none of the solutions I have found have worked.

 

The problem is that when I start up POD Farm, I get a message titled "No Hardware Found" that tells me "No compatible Line 6 USB devices have been detected" and asks me if I want to run POD Farm as if a device was connected. However, I am certain that my x3 is connected and working alright since my computer will play audio through it and Windows recognizes it when I plug it in.

 

I have tried reinstalling POD Farm multiple times, and during installation I said to install all the Line 6 drivers just in case. Line 6 Monkey is working fine as far as I can tell. I can't tell whether or not POD Farm is registered or activated or what, but I suppose it needs to be for me to get this far. I don't really understand the way Monkey works with activation and what not...but it doesn't look like that's the problem, I don't know. I do know that I have tried every USB port on my computer, they are all 2.0 and none are hubs. The x3 works fine by itself. I have no idea what to do.

    Sorry, bro -- the Pod Farm standalone editor isn't compatible with the X3 (it's weird, I know).  Just download the latest version of Gearbox and you'll be all set -- it acts as the software editor for your Pod X3.

    yes the pod farm license only works with the x3 as a plug in...

    meaning you can use it to re-amp your recorded tracks in your recording software.

    it won't interface with your x3 hardware... and will never launch from clicking an icon...

     

    you need gearbox as stated previously... the functionality is 100% the same as far as your ability to create tones...

    just a differnet interface.
