Usb ports

Ah
My external yamaha steinberg ur22 soundcard
won't be acknowledged by my laptop.
Anything else I plug in works fine.

From one moment, all was fine,
to the next, it wasnt.

I think it's the USB ports not giving the soundcard enough energy.

I tried it on a different computer
And there they work.
They have the same drivers

I've tried the usual reinstalling drivers
Windows updates
Restarting
To no avail.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

@rightly You’ve tried all the things that I would have suggested. Maybe a new USB cable. I’ve had problems with them in the past

Thanks for getting back to me John

On the steinberg website
Older drivers are available
No explanation why
I thought upgrades are supposed to be more effective
I'll try them.

An It guy told me to take out the laptops battery
Disconnect everything, let it rest for a day

I've 2 cables
On one PC both worked  neither worked on the laptop.

Couldn't have happened at a worse time

pompeyjazz:
Sounds like it could be a power supply problem to the USB ports then @rightly as you expected ! Flipping technology !

cowparsleyman:
@rightly - if you have a working usb port, maybe get a cheap 1 to 6 extender cable, it might just work...something like this?
