I have 2 Transit USB boxes. One is installed on a WinXP Pro Sp1 system, and the other on a Windows Server 2003 system. I am having problems with the Transit “dropping out”. I primarily use it to play music from both machines. The Pro system is an IBM Thinkpad, and the Server system a Pentium 4 2.54GHz-based system. I use Media Center (obviously) to play the music.
Both systems have their own on-board sound hardware, which is set up to be the default for Windows audio. I tell Media Center, however, to use the Transit directly (via ASIO or WAVE). I can be in the middle of playing music, or simply not doing anything Transit-related at all, and the Transit “disappears”. Media Center still plays, but audio stops. The Transit is still listed in Device Manager and the Control Panel | Sounds tabs etc. If I go to the Transit control panel and try, for instance, to change the operating mode, it says that it is unable to set the new mode, and all boxes are then greyed out. From this point, the Transit is no longer listed as a sound card in Control Panel. I have to unplug its USB cable (I get the Windows sound that signifies it’s been unplugged) and plug it back in again, and everything’s fine.
Has anyone come across anything like this before? It’s happened on both machines (although more on the Thinkpad), so it seems unlikely to be anything specific I’m running, and all other USB devices work fine. Thanks for any help.
