joetink Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Hi everyone, I've had this problem for quite some time. Whenever the POD HD500 is plugged into my computer via USB (which is use constantly for L6edit), Windwos 7 will not let me change the default audio device for listening to music (outside of my DAW), and furthermore the pod won't allow me to play music through media player, etc. So, I have to constantly plug and unplug the USB, which is more than annoying. I've gone in through every audio setting I can find, and it literally won't allow me to change the default device to my stock sound card or my firewire solo. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! -joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 did this start before or after the microsoft windows 7 update that screwed up everyone's computer? and then, did you get the update for the update? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joetink Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Thanks for responding. I guess i'm unaware of what that update might be. I have my computer set up for automatic downloads and installations of updates, so i must have missed something, but this has been going on for about 3-4 months, i'm guessing. shouldn't the 'update for the update' have also been automatically downloaded and installed?

pianoguyy Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 it was a fairly recent update that only affected Windows 7 negatively. And, yes, if you have the auto update feature turned on, it should have gotten (or will on the next check) the fix too. So.... Now its time for someone else to help. Just needed to make sure that wasn't the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBee Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Have you went into Control Panel-> Line 6 Audio/Midi Devices and tried to change it in there? I'm still on an XP but it should be similar for Win7. -B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joetink Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Sure did. Still won't change the default device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjnette Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Do you have any other sound cards beside the onboard realtec ones? They are not a pro sound card and are not true full duplex, (in and out at the same time.) Check Monkey is up to date Make sure you don't have ASIO 4 on your computer Finally, it might be a driver thing with line 6.In thaqt while the device is connected it over rides other ins and outs.

joetink Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 I've reinstalled the drivers after removing them. Bjnette, I use a presonus firestudio or M-audio firewire solo as my sound card for my DAW, but whether I try to use one of those or the stock sound card out of the DAW, I get the same results. Punkyboy, when the driver is uninstalled the soundcard works, but that means I then can't use line 6 edit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
