USB Errors

If you are having USB communication problems with you Line 6 audio interface, the first thing to do is check your cables to make sure they haven’t gotten disconnected accidentally. If you have a spare USB cable, try it instead to make sure the cable isn’t the problem. To follow are several items relating to USB connectivity...

TonePort UX8 and all POD X3 family devices require a USB 2.0 connection, all other Line 6 devices operate at USB 1.1 and can connect to either a USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 connection.

TonePort UX8 does not reconnect after Windows® goes into standby

When Windows® goes into standby mode or hibernation, the UX8 may not come back online. Toggle the power switch to reconnect the unit to the driver.

USB connection indicators

The POD Farm Standalone application displays a message at the bottom of the window when successfully connected, listing the type of Line 6 device in use:

If no authorized Line 6 USB device is detected, you’ll see this alert at the bottom of the POD Farm window:

USB Connectivity

It is specifically recommended that you always connect your Line 6 device directly to your computer’s “built-in” USB port and not into a USB hub. USB hubs are known to sometimes cause communication errors with USB audio devices. USB audio devices require a fast, uninterrupted flow of audio data to and from the computer. (For iLok USB keys, these are usually fine connected to any USB 1.1 or 2.0 USB port or hub).

On Windows® systems, it is not recommended that you connect more than one PODxt or POD X3 family device to the computer at the same time. These Line 6 devices utilize a common device driver and only one can be initialized at a time.
