Harry [Member] in response to: Line6's Poor Windows 7 Support

Interesting. I did have a slight issue myself when the Win 7 drivers first came along. I'll explain how I fixed it.

What else have you got running on that IRQ? My PC was running both graphics cards and various other peripherals too. The graphics cards were running in SLI and it was this that was seemingly chocking up the bandwidth needed by the UX1.

When I disabled SLI all the problems went away. And of course it matter of moments to re-enable SLI when I want to run a game.

If you've not got an SLI rig, you could try a similar fix. Go into the device manager and disable your graphics card. It will still run, but only in basic form (which is fine for running your DAW and other music software), that also fixes the issue.

Hope either of these help for your system.

Actually I have a Win7 x64 computer (a Samsung R780) that does NOT work with the Pod Studio UX1. All the problems are still there: noise spikes, quits working, etc.

Thanks for the comment. I bet the rattle is something as simple as a loose cabinet screw. Well worth just tightening all the screws on the box. Or it could be a tube that's become slightly loose in transit.

I have two of the V22s, but getting two has been a real challenge. First off, let me say I absolutely love the tone generated by these amps. I had a VOX AC30 I sold with the purpose of getting two amps to use at guitar shows to demo our guitars. That being said, these amps sound amazing (even ignoring the $350 US price). My problem has been quality control. The first one, which I have had for a month was DOA, however, it was a bad tube replaced by the dealer - no issues since. The second one had something loose that caused it to rattle when hitting a low E on the clean channel. I returned it to Guitar Center and got another. Much to my dismay, I unpacked it and when turning it on found the same vibration on the low E, only worse. I am returning it today for my third attempt at a second V22. It seems the quality control is lacking...at least in my case. But they do sound great.

You comment is rather out of date John. Windows 7 drivers have been released and I've had absolutely no problems running Monkey, PODFarm or PODFarm 2.0 on my Win 7 x64 machine since their release.

Line 6 was very slow in getting Windows 7 drivers and support out, but these programs work fine now.

And PODFarm 2.0 is rather splendid.

Totally, their line 6 monkey don't work on windows 7, you can't update and it won't detect your line 6 devices. Worse thing is, their community don't even care to help you. What a downer from a brand i trusted for years
