You need to plug the USB cable directly to a USB port on the computer. The PS/2 connections will only interpret keyboard or mouse signals (green for mouse) using the correct usb to PS/2 adapter.

If you do not have a USB port, you may be able to get a USB PCMIA card (or similar card slot add-in depending on your system). These will work with most Operating Systems (Win98SE and beyond) depending on the card and the computer. Listing one:
IOGear Hi-Speed USB 2.0 CardBus

I hope this helps.

(BTW, the keyboard USB to PS/2 adapter will not work for a mouse and vice versa. The wiring is done specifically for the device standard.)

The connection on the rear of the hub should go to a USB connection on the laptop, not a PS/2 connection. A PS/2 to USB adapter is used to connect a PS/2 keyboard or mouse to a USB connection.

Hi there. I'm using an H4 recorder with Cubase LE 4 on my PC and am suddenlt having problems using the device to record on my computer. In the Device Set Up dialogue box, whenever I try to switch...

There could be a few potential causes for the issue you're experiencing with your H4 recorder and Cubase LE 4. Here are a few things you can try to resolve the problem:
  1. Check the device driver: Make sure that the ZOOM H4 ASIO driver is properly installed on your computer. You may need to reinstall the driver if it has become corrupted or is not up to date.
  2. Make sure the device is connected: Ensure that the H4 recorder is properly connected to your computer and that the connection is secure.
  3. Restart the computer: Sometimes, simply restarting the computer can resolve issues with drivers or software.
  4. Check the Cubase LE 4 settings: Make sure that the H4 recorder is selected as the input and output device in Cubase LE 4's preferences.
  5. Check for updates: Check for updates for both Cubase LE 4 and the H4 recorder to ensure that you are using the latest version.
  6. Disable other audio devices: If you have other audio devices connected to your computer, try disabling them to see if that resolves the problem.
  7. Run Cubase LE 4 as administrator: Try running Cubase LE 4 as an administrator, by right-clicking on the Cubase icon and selecting "Run as administrator"
  8. Check for conflicts: Make sure that there are no other software running that may be conflicting with the H4 recorder and Cubase LE 4, such as other audio recording software or system services that may be using the audio driver.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be best to contact the manufacturer of the H4 recorder or Cubase LE 4 for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or offer a solution to the problem.

Is there any way to reset the H4 back to factory settings? I adjusted levels and everythings out of whack now.

Hello.

Do you havce the manual to the H4? If not, I will provide you with a link to the PDF manual online. In thoroughly scanning thfe manual, there is no general reset function (in the manual, that is). It would be advised to call Zoom (who are very easy to work with) and ask them if there is a factory reset procedure which is not in the manual.

The manual for the H4 is very comprehensive, and there are default settings for many areas of the recorder. You could use this manual to reset your adjustments manually.

Here is the link to the manual:

My computor switches off the moment i plug in the wd passport.

Probably a power issue. Your new computer has less extra power capacity and the external drive is pulling from the USB port power.

What you need is a USB hub with an AC adapter that powers the hub and any devices that are connected to it from the external AC power adapter and NOT from the USB bus. In other words look for an external power adapter that plugs into the wall as well as into the USB port. Don't get a recharger for an iPOD as that will not do you any good. And don't get a hub that says "powered" or "external power" that does not have an AC power adapter because it is still sucking power off of the USB port.

Try shopping for a D-Link DUB-H4 High Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Hub. It is a good choice if you are not going to plug any USB 1.1 devices into it. Read the reviews for any device you choose.

Zoom h4 Vista recording

Don't know if this is the problem in your case ... but here's what I did:
Note: I have Win XP
Previous to attempting connection between laptop and H4 as an audio interface I updated the H4 firmware to ver2.4 and connected to the laptop successfully as a card reader. From the laptop, I could see files I knew were on the H4 card.
... but when I tried connecting in Audio I/O mode, my laptop didn't know what to make of the H4. There was a USB mass storage driver associated with the H4 - I could see this from the "Device Manager". I "uninstalled" the USB driver associated to that "unknown" USB device. I terminated the audio connection on the H4, then reconnected. !!! It was recognized as "USB Audio Device" in the "Sound, video and game controllers" section of the "Device Manager". Before, it was listed under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" as a generic USB device with a yellow warning highlight indicating there was something wrong.
Hope this helps!
