Hello Bad Mister:

There is no sound when I hot wire the XS and neither does it appear in the Sound Video and Game Controlers section. I do, however, get the same result: when the "Yamaha Steinberg FW Bus" is enabled, the computer is turned off, and the Rack XS is turned on, the "Yamaha Steinberg FW Bus" will not load when I boot the computer until I turn off the Rack XS. After turning off the XS, the "Yamaha Steinberg FW Bus" loads immediately.

Thanks.

But this time there is no mystery connect sound when you power off the Rack XS... ?

I will inquire and see what I can find out, for you.

Yes, there is the standard connect sound.
Thanks.
