Hello,
I'm new to audio interfaces and sound equipment in general. My Audiobox USB works on my mini Mac with the USB cable they sent me, but it's only 4 feet long or so and I want to have the Audiobox 10 feet away. So I tried an AmazonBasics cable, but now the Audiobox doesn't show up as an available audio interface. I thought it might be a power issue but the 48V and LED lights are on. Any help on why it wouldn't be able to find the Audiobox using a longer, 3rd party cable? Thanks! Chris |
Are you using a cable with these two connectors?
If so, then any decent cable should work. The length shouldn't matter over those short distances, +30 feet could become a problem but 10 feet should be easy peasy. |
You must plug your AB into the same USB port originally set up. Try moving to other ports until successful.

I recently had the same issue. Anyone know the difference between a cable that only sends power and not data? There are four conduits running through 3 short cables that work and four cables that run through the long one that doesn't. I've tested the continuity of all four conduits and they are fully conductive the whole length. Plus the shield is conductive on the short ones that work and on the long one that doesn't. I tested continuity on one of the short ones that work and they test out just the same. The long one that doesn't work is only 10' long (is a USB 2.0 Type A to Type B - Just like the shorter working cables. Shorter ones range from 4 to 6 feet in length.). Anybody got any ideas?

I am having exactly the same problem. I have only one cable out of my entire fleet of cables that will work, showing the audiobox as a valid device in the device manager. All other cable fail to recognize the unit. The cable that works is very short..about 5ft and has an RF choke in the end closest to the Audiobox. I really need to get this thing closer to my keyboard. Any suggestions? I have contacted Presonus tech support but so far have heard nothing.

Thanks, but I am still stuck. My cables are very high quality and were more expensive than most. I have ordered one with chokes on both ends just to see what happens. I have one cable 30 feet long made of very large wire fiber coated that works perfectly as a USB midi cable on my keyboard to the computer but will not support the Audiobox. The only thing I can figure is voltage drop but that is really hard to believe all cables from 10 to 30ft will not work. The only one that works is of the same quality but has a choke on the end going into the Audiobox?

Then try other ports too because they can have different grades of performance (e.g. due to sharing hubs with internal devices like camera's).
A dual plug cable takes power from two USB ports, effectively doubling the power available to the interface. This can make the difference especially with longer usb cables. |
