Troubleshooting (FAQ) • Are you using another USB device? → If you are using another USB device, first connect only Yamaha's USB device to make sure there is no problem. • (You cannot play a music CD) → Check the "Enable digital CD audio for this CD-ROM device" checkbox. (page 30). • (You do not hear any sound digitally input from a connected MD or CD player.) → Is the INPUT SELECT switch set correctly? (page 14.) s The sound is interrupted or distorted. • Does your computer satisfy the system requirements? (page 11) • Is any other application or device driver running? → Quit all unnecessary application programs. • Have you tried to record and play back a Wave file at the same time? → If you try to record and play back a Wave file at the same time, the playback sound may be interrupted and noise may be introduced, depending on the computer being used. When you are using XGworks, recording has priority. • Is the SoftSynthesizer set properly? → If you are using SoftSynthesizer, the load can be reduced by changing the settings of "Maximum CPU Usage" and "Quality."

Set the "Hardware acceleration" to "Full." Set the "Sample rate conversion quality" to "Good." [Control Panel] → [System] → [Device Manager] → [Disk Drives] or [Hard Disk Controllers] Select a mode for high speed processing (for example, turn DMA mode ON). Upgrade to a higher speed driver.
