quadcabby Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I've deliberately set up an old laptop with Windows 7 to run Workbench. All the drivers and firmware are correct for the interface as checked by Line 6 Monkey. So Monkey sees the interface ( green light on), and the interface sees the guitar (green light on). Here's where it gets squirrels. When Workbench is opened it gives a lovely picture of the interface but says "no device detected". So my question is, how can Monkey see the interface and it light up all green, yet workbench can't see it to connect the guitar to the computer? I've tried a 500, a 600, 3 different 300 and a JTV, and the symptom is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Do you have a 1/4 cable connected to the guitar's jack? This is needed to turn on the battery to activate the guitar's electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quadcabby Posted November 7, 2021 Author Share Posted November 7, 2021 Yeah, I've been using Variax since it first came on the market and have collected many over the years, including the bass. What I don't understand is this setup used to work fine. I've deliberately not updated my Mac OS beyond Mojave and it does the same thing as when using Windows 7, as described above!

spanishmartin Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I'm no expert but could the problem possibly be down to the wrong version of Java being used. I think it needs to be 32bit, even if your windows is 64bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quadcabby Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 Now that's interesting as I'm using the 64 bit version of Java1.6. Back to the Oracle page it is. I'll let you know what happens for future reference. Might be a day or two before I get to try it though. Cheers all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
