20 Most Recent Lexicon Lambda Usb Desktop Recording Interface Sound Card - Page 2 Questions & Answers

Hi there,
A driver problem is usually a software issue. Have you tried updating the drivers or the firmware?

I'm having the same problem with mine. I realize you made this post 1 1/2 years ago, but have you found a solution in the mean time? Thanks!

Hi. I think this is a simple fix.

I would uninstall your sound card software and reinstall it, as this sounds like thesoftware has a corruption issue. Reinstalling it should fix the problem.

Also, check your computer to make sure that there aren't any other interface software that is trying to use the same resources...i.e. irq, dma, or memory areas.

These can effect it as well. Also, you may have installed software that is calling on a specific region of memory, and that may be the same memory area as the Lex Lamba.

It may be that it an OS Xissue as well, so I would check to make sue that none of it's software is conflicting.

I know this may seem like a lot of different things, but you may find that after just doing the replacement of the software that the problem goes away.

If not, then at least now you know what areas could be causing it.

One other thing that you can try is to uninstall the sound card form the pc, and reinstall it in another location on the motherboard...i.e. move from one pci slot to another. It could be a slot problem.

Good luck, and I hope my info has been helpful to you.

download this manual and see your lambda interface will supported windows vista also i will give you are link download it and see

Hi you can't reset driver you need uninstall driver ( or roll back) and then install again. Regards

First make sure usb cable connected to harddrive is working fine.
try it in different usb ports.
Press windows key +R key so you can see run then type in run "devmgmt.msc" then press ok so you can see device manager uninstall all usb drivers then it automatic install usb drivers.
then check.
Also you need to change registry for that type in run "regedit" then press ok then you can see registry editor then locate below key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11 CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
And remove upper filter and lower filter.Then restart computer then check.
Try your harddrive in different computer if it is not recognized on another computer too then your harddrive has internal issue.

Let me know if you need further assistance.
Thanks for using FixYa

It's because when you recording your get sound from Lambda!!! But PC can't reproduce that quality! Try to download driver or update which will allow you to achieve what you want.

I have a Sterling st-51 condenser mic and purchased a Behringer xenyx 1002b mixer. Similar problem, dynamic mics work in low impedence with or without phantom pwr on. My Washburn acoustic bass with preamp in line input section. So I tried it on my Omega Lexicon interface. The condenser mic and everything else works on the Omega. This unit has a wall wart ( your Lambda is USB powered). I checked the voltages with a meter and found 23 volts from the mixer and 48 volts from the Omega. Further, I have two Shure SM-82 line mics which work on the mixer with the inputs turned all the way down but do not work on the Omega nor on my Spirit SX mixer which has 48 volts phantom power. The SM-82s are old line mics that have a 9.6 volt battery in the sleeve. They overload badly in all but the 1002B mixer. Their voltage should run btwn the 9.6 battery or a 22 volt phantom power.

Check your Lambda voltage, It could be way less than needed by the st-51. I will check with a friend who has the Lambda and check its voltage. Bet it is too low.

Again, My St-51 and 1002B mixer combo barely works at 23volts, the Mic gain is all the way up as is the channel slider and the main output slider. I cant get any reading on my led meters, occasional bump on the first light, no possible way to clip the input or the output and have to turn the high eq off and the mid way back due to hiss noise. Hope this helps,couldn't find minimum voltages on the ST-51 as yet.

All it needs is a USB connection. You'll need to go into Cubase device setup and make sure your lambda drivers are selected. Then create the audio channels in cubase with the inputs set as the inputs you're using for guitar and mic. There is a monitor button right next to the record enable button that needs to be enabled if you want to hear playback from your computer.

Good luck!

Not the cable - message tells all -> the Lambada unit has developed a short circuit internally (probably a bad cap).

That could be the problem but on similar interfaces the sockets are more of an issue so it could be that the last time you pulled the lead it dislodged something in the socket which is causing an earth loop by touching something else. Usually more related to jack lead sockets rather than XLR sockets though.

Try putting an XLR lead in and out of the socket a couple of times with your monitors off (so you don't pop them) which might clear up any socket issues.

Is the scratchy sound a hissing scratchy sound or a metallic kinda sounding scratch? - Hiss would indicate faulty socket/lead in my mind, metallicy would be more to do with the components/transfer to the PC and as you suggested the phantom might have overloaded it, is it in warranty? If so try trade it for one that works and don't forget to only use Phantom when you need it...

AFTER you open a new poject go to "Devices" then "Device Setup" click on "VST Audio System" then on he right side where it says "ASIO DRIVER" make the selection say "Lambda ASIO" then click OK
