UX2 works but not as default soundcard


Recommended Posts

Good evening (French dude, it's evening here),

Since I've updated my drivers (4.2.7.1) for the UX2 I've had a problem of "priority" between my laptop's internal soundcard and the UX2. When I plug the UX2, it works : Pod Farm and my DAW recognize it, if I plug a guitar in and my headphones out, there's sound coming through.

Yet any sound that comes from any other program than Pod Farm goes through the computer's internal soundcard & speakers. When I can configure the program manually to use the UX2, it does - for ex the DAW. But overall, Youtube'll play through the laptop's speakers, and so will videos via VLC and so on. You get the picture.

I tried relentlessly to change the sound configuration and put the UX2 as "Default" soundcard, but to no avail. No matter how many times I click the buttons, nothing happens.

I've tried to turn the computer on/off with and withoout the UX2 plugged in. I've tried to reinstall the whole thing. I've tried reinstalling the previous drivers (top wit, 4.2.5.1). Nothing works. My Line6 Monkey is all green. I'm well aware that the cause of the problem just may be my computer itself, but then I'm lost as to why it suddenly decided to break up with my UX2.

 

Any ideas on how to solve this ?

Thanks in advance~

 

PS : forgot to say this : oeuf corse, it's a Windows 7 laptop.

Yes I have and when I do that my computer will not automatically switch to the UX2. So any sound that was routed to the UX2 still works (PodFarm, DAW), but the rest is just not working anymore.

 

It's as if my system half recognized the UX2 (PodFarm works, after all) and half doesn't recognize it (for all other sounds).

Hello gents, I'm back again.

 

I've tried uninstalling every damn Line6 thing (program, driver and whatnot) on my computer. And I started fresh. And I have to admit... it's worse than before. Now Line 6 Monkey will not even recognize my UX2, even though it's plugged in and I can use it with PodFarm and Cubase. Still no improvement : if I try to shut down the internal soundcard, I have no sound but the Podfarm.

 

I'm at a loss for answers...

 

Edit : re-installed Line6 Monkey, now we're back at square one. The soundcard works great with PodFarm and Cubase, but there's no way in hell I can make it work with "regular" programs, as though Windows, in some weird way, acknowledged it as a soundcard, but one he'll definitely won't work with.
