    What to do if my Korg Sound Card won't turn on or isn't recognized?

      If your Korg Sound Card won’t turn on, isn't recognized by your computer, or operates unstably, the issue may be related to the USB connection.

Try connecting the DS-DAC-10R directly to a USB port on your computer or use a self-powered hub that supports USB 2.0 High Speed.

If the problem persists after several attempts, contact your local Korg distributor.

If power-saving settings are enabled, change the power scheme in “Power Options” of the “Control Panel,” and also turn off any other power saving plan that is specific to your computer. You can also try adjusting the Buffer Size in the KORG 2ch 1bit Audio Driver Control Panel or in the audio device tab of AudioGate preferences, generally increasing it. Ensure that the DS-DAC-10R is connected to a USB 2.0 port. Also, consider whether you are using or running a large number of software programs simultaneously. If you are using headph...
