I have no problem with suggestions. But still no go
- different ports, different cable (although it's been running for a couple years now just fine and 2.71 worked fine)
- I downloaded HX Edit 2.80 installer 3 separate times
- I did an uninstall and deleted the actually driver from Device Manager the 2nd two times
- The update to 2.8 using the updater worked fine
- Updater is not running
- I'm not disconnecting my peripherals ... if that's what's breaking things then Line 6 needs to fix their driver. My peripherals include quite a number of keyboards, sequencers, drum machines, FX etc... But again, it's never been a problem before.
- Just another complaint .. having the damn driver take over the default audio interface every time I plug in the Helix is a Pain in the lollipop. My audio interfaces all had their names changed by the installation. I had to re-install my Lynx Aurora interface drivers to get it back after the Helix install. Again, I've installed Helix updates for ages without issues like this.
