Problem Connecting 2 UX8s to a Single Laptop

Hello,

I recently bought a second Toneport UX8 so I would have more inputs to record in my practice space.  Both devices work correctly on their own, but I cannot have both running at the same time, one will install and the other will error out.  Is this problem solvable or is this just a shortcoming of the UX8?  If I can't get both working at the same time I'm going to have to return one and get a different interface to cover my needs, which I really don't want to do.  PLEASE TELL ME WE CAN FIX THIS?!?!    Thanks.

    It is not solvable.

     

    Also, it is not a short coming.

     

    You can not run 2 audio interfaces at the same time.

    This not just with Line6 but with all digital audio interfaces, FireWire,PCI or USB.

     

    If you need more than 8 inputs simaltaneously, you will need a different interface.

    You wouldn't have been able to use them all at the same time without some sort of driver wrapper or something similar.

       

      Audacity doesn't use ASIO drivers so are you using something like ASIO4All?

       

      Tyriche is absolutely correct that you cannot use more than on ASIO driver simultaneously within a recording application within most, if not all recording applications.

       

      This technology exists for Macs with Core Audio in what they call Aggregate Device but not on PC.

    Yes but that's expected. You can't connect two UX8's to one computer at the same time because they are both trying to use the same driver. Can't be done.
