Can't seem to get Sound Manager v9 in Win11 to recognize my Stage 2 when connected. I've downloaded and installed the Clavia driver. When I connect the Stage 2 to the computer, the computer "dings" as though it is recognizing that it is connected, but the only tab that is lit up in Sound Manager is the "Sound Library" showing the various instrument categories and their associated available sound downloads. I do not see a connection to my Stage, or a way to download/upload any of the available sounds to it. I've tried switching off and re-starting the Stage 2 and closing/opening Sound Manager, but same results - the computer "dings" like it recognizes the instrument connecting, but nothing shows for it in the Sound Manager. Anyone have an idea of how I can remedy this?
