Hi.
So I’m trying to install Yamaha Steinberg driver but I think the installation isn’t successful. I found this on the web and it’s basically the same problem I’m having except that the driver I downloaded is YSUSB v192.

As the installation guide tells me, I installed the above driver and then plugged in and switched on the MOX6. The driver starts installing, but then says it was unsuccessful.

On the Windows installation report, it says:

USB Composite Device - Ready to use
Yamaha MOX6/MOX8 - Failed
USB Human Interface Device - Ready to use

Any idea?

Thanks.

Hi there

If you state which version of Windows you’re on, hopefully someone with the same can advice you.

Cheers

Zpink has brought up an important issue - the Windows version.

Your member profile indicates you’re running 32-bit Windows XP. If that’s correct, try Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver V1.7.3 for Windows (32bit):

I have Windows 7 64 bit. Didn’t have any problems downloading any of this stuff for my MO6.

You might want to update your profile.

One possibility, from the download page:
Caution

If the Yamaha USB Audio Driver is already installed on your computer, be sure to uninstall it before installing Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver. There is a possibility that the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver will not work properly if the Yamaha USB Audio Driver is installed on the same computer.

I actually uninstalled the driver that I had for the MO6 before I tried to install YSUSB driver.

You may want to confirm what version of firmware your MOX has installed.

It’s version 1.00. I know there’s an update but I don’t think it’s something I need to do.

Anyway, I uninstalled and then reinstalled everything again (YSUSB V173, not 192 though, Remote Tools, Editor and Stand Alone Editor) . Installshiled tells me install was successful after each installation but the stupid automatic Windows updater -that just keeps trying to install the Yamaha driver on its own- keeps telling me driver installation failed, but I think the driver is working because when I opened the Editor and pressed some keys on the MOX6 the corresponding keys in the editor lit up, which I’m assuming means the driver is working -can somebody confirm? However there’s no sounds, but I think that’s another issue that I can’t figure out for now (also couldn’t get any sounds in FL Studio).
