Hello!
I am using Windows 7 x64 and Reaper x64 as the DAW host.
The Virus Ti Snow is connected to a PCIe USB 3.0 card (Buffalo Technologies - http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ…ef=oh_o00_s00_i00_details)
There are no other devices sharing the USB Root Hub. The snow is the only connected device.
Operation seems to be normal inside a project minus some beat sync issues I've had with the LFOs (Live button has no effect).
When I render the project, I get an error stating that the midi driver failed and even a reboot will not refresh the Snow. I have to reboot and then plug it into the other port on the PCIe USB card to get windows to "re-acquire" the device.
Previously I had a USB 2.0 PCI card that was running the Virus, but Windows 7 was flaky with that card and detection of the card was intermittent. So I replaced it with this card and I now have consistent operation of the Snow except for this rendering problem.
I tried testing it with "Fullspeed Offline" as I understand the Virus is disabled during mixdown, and I receive the "Midi Driver Failed" error.
I tried a real-time "Online" mixdown and received the same error again.
Are there any known issues with using a USB 3.0 port?
Thanks for any help! Please let me know if there is more information I should supply.
Much appreciated!
