Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can help (possibly a newbie question),

I recently purchased a MPD218 (and I'm completely new to this) and it was working perfectly fine on my PC, but then suddenly out of the blue, it stopped working.

It seems to work perfectly fine on my laptop, just not my PC, I even reformatted my PC (I was going to reformat anyway in case anyone's wondering, so not just for this), but anyway, yeah, still doesn't work.

Things I've tried;
1. Reinstalling OS (again not just for this reason as it was due a reformat)
2. Uninstalling the driver via Device manager.
3. Update the firmware.

The MPD Editor doesn't seem to be picking it up, however Mixcraft 9 Pro does, but doesn't recognize any input. (see screenshot)

I know it has a built in profiler, so could it have something to do with this?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!
