 In case one or more USB channels or other hardware isn't recognized by the compputer and on the mixing consoles the USB input leds are not lighting.\\
-First take a look at these steps.\\
+=====Important when you use USB audio equipment:=====
+\\
 {{ :usbnotworking:usbcable.jpg?direct&200 |}}
 * Be sure that your USB cable is a High speed USB 2.0 cable and has a maximum length of 1,8 meters (5,9 ft).\\
+\\
 * It can help to replace the cable as a good connection is really important with the high bandwidth the mixer uses.\\
+\\
 {{ :usbnotworking:connect.jpg?direct&400 |}}
 * Connect your mixing console to a USB port directly at the mainboard of your computer. So no internal cables are used.\\
+\\
 {{ :usbnotworking:usbexthub.png?direct&400 |}}
 * Do not connect the mixing console trough a USB Hub or a USB Extender.\\
+\\
 This way the USB connection has enough bandwidth to use the USB Audio codecs and USB hardware for Meter software and controls.\\
 Inside the mixing console is a USB Hub that can handle the bandwidth this hardware needs.\\

+=====I receive messages that the maximum end points or services are reached:=====
+\\
 For customers that receive a operating system message that the maximum end points or services are reached.\\
 In some computers the manufacturers have chosen to use xHCI USB 3.0 ports.\\
 This actually means that they combined the hardware of 2 USB 2.0 ports to reach higher speeds like the USB 3.0.\\
 Combining these ports means that they need to share the amount of end ports that all USB equipment has.\\
+\\
 When detecting the connected equipment the Operating System fills it's list of end points for that port until the maximum is reached.\\
 With each Audio Codec needing multiple end points as well as the used hardware for controls and meter software, one mixing console can take all the end ports of a port.\\
+\\
 This can be fixed by setting the USB ports to work as non xHCI ports (USB 2.0) in the BIOS configuration of your computer.\\
 **__Be carefull to only change USB settings! Changing other settings can harm your computer!__**\\
 **__D&R is not responsible for changing the wrong settings!__**\\
 Another option is to use a USB2.0 card that is added to the computers ports.\\

+=====Windows 10 Update and changed settings=====
+\\
+The rollout of Windows 10 updates can also affect the working of your mixing console.\\
+Due to privacy and safety rules Microsoft is changing the way that Windows 10 works with audio equipment.\\
+\\
+For example: Windows mutes the Microphone channels to be sure nobody can hack your system and listen to what you are saying.\\
+It can also change levels, disables inputs or set the default settings of audio devices.\\
+\\
+When you enter the Sound settings everything seems to be as you set it up before the update.\\
+Unfortunatly the settings are changed in the background and the settings shown aren't changed along.\\
+\\
+To fix this change each setting and change them back to the desired setting to make it actual again.\\

+=====My USB devices are mixed up:=====

 Then you can try the following procedure.\\

 * Disconnect your mixer from the PC. (USB Cable)\\
 * Download USB Deview and run it. [[http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html]]\\

 * If everything went fine all the four LEDs should be turned on. If not, something went wrong.\\
 * Close USB Deview\\
