Sigmundo Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hi. I´m sure there is an obvious answer to this question, but I have searched the FAQ´s and this forum without finding it. I just bought the Line 6 HX Effects and downloaded the HX Edit to my 2017 MacBook Pro. As you might know there are no USB-ports on this machine, so I have to use an external hub. I´m using a Satechi hub, which should be ok. It works fine with my Pod HD 500 and the Pod 500HD Edit at least. But with the HX Effects I get "no device connected". So what do I do? I really like the idea of editing my presets with an editor, and I would hate to return the box ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolko60 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Try to swap USB cable. The supplied ones sometimes do not work properly with particular USB chipsets (ports). EDIT: I checked. 2017 MacBook Pro has two USB-C ports, so why use any hub which causes problem? All you need is to stick right USB cable.

That is probably the obvious answer I was looking for: I need a cable with an USB C connector at one end and an USB 2 connector at the other. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmtrub Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Did you download the LIne 6 updater? Could be outdated firmware for the version of HX Edit you have installed. Haven't had any issues with macbook pro and using a USB hub here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
