Question

My Audiobox iTwo is not being recognized by my Windows 10 64 bit PC and all of the lights on the front panel are lit up, including two red ones.  I have attempted many of the solutions provided on the forums and on this site, including the installation of "Universal Control" (which doesn't recognize the device) and I also tried "AudioBox VSL v1.3" (I uninstalled UC before doing this, so the drivers wouldn't conflict and even tried the method of copying files from the 9 MB folder in my cache to the PreSonus folder, to no success and gave me an "error 5" message on the second go-around.)  Another forum user mentioned using a USB cable with the ferrite bead, but this also did not fix the problem for me.  Ultimately, the best solution, which would be updating/reinstalling the firmware on the device through UC, as suggested by someone on this very website, did not work since my PC didn't even recognize the iTwo.  My Audiobox's warranty has long since expired and I don't know what to do.  This issue in various forms has appeared on PreSonus forums many times over the years, so I hope someone has been able to work out a solution or remedy for this defect in the product.

Thanks and I hope you can help!

Answer 4

I have opened a support ticket with PreSonus and am waiting to hear back from them. Could iriemorse try using the free Microsoft Windows USB Device Viewer, which I've uploaded the 32 bit (usbview86) and 64 bit (usbview64) versions to a Google Drive folder (see below) and see if your AudioBox appears in any of your USB ports? Mine does NOT, meaning that the AudioBox is receiving power from my computer, but it is not sending any data whatsoever to my computer. Usually, if a USB device was still working, but did not have a working driver on the computer, you would at least see "Unknown Device" or something indicating that the computer could at least recognize that there is a device connected to it. Anyway, could you see if your AudioBox shows up? If so, you're probably in a better situation than me, as it appears something is seriously wrong with my device (failed component(s) on the motherboard? corrupted firmware?). I'll keep you posted on my responses from PreSonus Support.

Download the .exe file and .config file corresponding to your processor/operating system type (32/86 or 64).

Answer 5

I had this same problem (all lights lit and guitar lights red), audiobox not picked up by iphon eor pc. The problem was my USB cable was too long, approx 3 metres. I replaced it with a 2 metre one, with one of those small cylinders at the end and problem solved.  I did install Universal Controller, but the problem only resolved after I changed cable.

Answer 6

Try swapping the USB cable. I just encountered the very same thing when I plugged in a slightly longer, thinner USB cable that my normal one. There was also evidence that this faulty cable had been pulled out wrongly as the inner wires were exposed.

When I plugged in my normal cable it worked fine again.
