stage 2 ex usb problem

Postby totalbackline » 20 Feb 2018, 20:54

my stage2 ex is not being recognized by any computer via usb. My imac does not see it when I open sound manager. A tech opened the keyboard and said the port looked fine mechanically. Any ideas?

The usual: try a different cable, a different computer and/or a different keyboard.
I think I have gear issues ....

Have you tried another short cable on another computer, re-install drivers (I guess Mac doens't have)?
If nothings works, It could be an SMD chip that controls USB function that can be stopped it's called SP1181bdgg.
I hope this is not your problem, but have my NS2C USB port stopped it's still stopped until today.

Is there any software step I could do to STOP this SP1181bdgg thing? I am on Windows 7, 64-bit. Correct driver is installed for Stage 2 (3.04 b198 or whatever-- the current one that's up at the Nord site).

Going nuts. No reason that my gf's used Stage 2 can't connect to any computer via USB. I tried 7 diff USB cables, on 4 different computers (all Win 7, 64-bit)

Do you connect both at the same time?
You can only connect 1 Nord device at a time.

What is "this SP1181bdgg" thing you're reporting? As far as I know, a SP1181bdgg is a USB chip -- do you get an error message that indicates something is wrong with such a device?

I've asked before (in one of the many other threads), but it's still unclear to me if the computer works with another keyboard. You said somewhere something like "Imac see the NE3 immediately" (IIRC) so it looks like you tested a NE3 on another device. But in case you haven't, please check (exact same cable and computer that is not seeing the NS2) whether it sees your NE3.

Since it's a NS2 that hasn't been updated, it is possible, of course, that the USB is broken somehow and the previous owner didn't bother to have it fixed.
