pod xt live problem

The Freeman

i'm having a problem connecting my pod xt live to my desktop for the first time lads, basically its connected by u.s.b. from the back of my pod(which is turned o btw) to my computer, line 6 software(monkey)is not reckognising that it is connected to the computer,

there is THAT classic windows sound that a usb device is connected and windows offers to install it but of course windows can't do this it has to be the line 6 software

i tried re-installing the monkey software but same thing again


when i go to 'connect to device' and click on pod xt live it doesn't do anything

now its obviously not the fact that it hasn't been reckognised by windows or that the proper software isin't installed


so what could it be

and by the way they are the most up to date drivers also

any ideas at all???

Karl Hungus

Hmm, that's very odd indeed. Are you connecting straight to the PC with the USB cable, or is there a hub?

Voodu Child

Definitely one for the Line6 helpdesk.

The Freeman

nope, no hub at all, i tried installing the older drivers there and no joy either, pain in the hole:mad:

They'll probably ask you every question imagineable, OS version, drivers, etc, but i'd say you'll get to the bottom of the problem eventually. Just one of those frustrating computer problems i'd guess, i cant see there being anything wrong with the POD itself.

you can download all programs and drivers on the line6 site anyway.

It's a known problem. It happened to me but I can't remember what I did to fix it. Look at the Channel 6 Forums under Pod XT Drivers. That will give the solution you seek.

cheers ravellmanm no much luck on that site they didn't have an answer to the problem, found out on differant forums though;)

this is it if ye care to know...............

'The drivers are in the Gearbox installer. Just download Gearbox 3.1 and run it - follow the on-screen directions for when to plug in the device. Then Windows will see it again and install the drivers so it's ready to use. '


thanks lads

-=al=-

hapaned to me but i forgot how i fixed it too!! i think line 6 edit just upddated or somethin and worked again =/

The Freeman

ya must be common enough alright so



have to say its some piece of equipment and worth every cent, i'm still playing with the presets, the purple haze solo sounds amazing through the headphones so much so that i said i'd learn the whole song now:D , i think every guitarst(especially lead guitarist's) should have one of these babies, really looking forward to recording with this also + downloading artist patches from www.customtone.com


only thing that i don't like is the sound that i get through my amp, seriously thinking of not upgrading to an engl screamer 50 and getting one of these babies www.atomicamps.com

now i know the reviews on harmony cantral are pretty crap in general cos the reviewers don't have a clue a good part of the time but this seems to be the Consensus across the board on the net
