Hi guys,

So basically, I've been using a Novation Launchpad S for a while now, and also the Asio4All drivers. Not really related, until recently; a couple of days ago, they both stopped working. I'm using Live 8.3 and Windows 8. When I connect the Launchpad and start up Live, I see the MIDI inputs/outputs in the preferences, but they go orange when I try to use them. I'm pretty sure that Windows recognizes the Launchpad since it shows up in devices, and the pads put on a weird light show when I boot my computer and the Launchpad's plugged in. I have all the Novation USB drivers installed, and have tried reinstalling them to see if it helps, without any luck. I doubted that was the problem anyway though since I started using the Launchpad without having installed any drivers at all.

Concerning Asio4All, as soon as I select it in Audio Devices, I can't hear anything. All the meters in Live are the same, I've tried reinstalling Asio4All, and I've made sure that all other programs are shut when I open Live since I'm aware that ASIO drivers can only take sound from one program at a time. But nothing has helped. These two problems started at about the same time. Might it be a Live issue? I would welcome any ideas on this. I have looked around for solutions on the web, but none of the suggestions have worked. Could anyone possibly provide a bit more insight into what might be going on here?

Sorry to bump, but I really need any help anyone can offer. Does anyone know what might be the problem?

It's meant to do the lightshow when Windows boots, mine does the same. Try uninstalling the Novation drivers and AutoMap if you installed it, it's a longshot but Novations drivers may be conflicting with Windows' - as the "S" is a plug 'n' play device.

In Live does the Launchpad show up in Options>Preferences>Midi and are you able to click the Input & Output ports to "On", they should light up yellow.

If you can't what does the Launchpad look like when you run Live, is it lit at all?
