Instead the installation is left looking for the USB 2.0 FX, which quite naturally doesn’t exist, so it simply times out. Now quite why the developers couldn’t have spotted this on installation and pop up a nice friendly “Hey, looks like you’ve plugged in the confusingly similarly named Multimix 8 USB FX which doesn’t need a driver” I don’t know. By the way, if you have the USB 2.0 FX it is strongly recommended that you don’t plug it in until you install the driver and it asks you to. The latter, does require a driver, as I think it can stream the different channels independently to the PC. The former (that we have) does not require a driver, it seems to stream a single audio channel to the PC using the standard Windows drivers with no additional installation required. However, when you try to install it you get a “Timeout Error 0x0005” half way through, and this seems pretty common on the Internet, but suggested fixes involve uninstalling, registry cleaners, and all sorts of mucking about which could easily lose you an afternoon.Įxcept no-one seems to mention that there are two Alesis Multimix 8 USB FX mixers – the USB FX and the USB 2.0 FX. But there is a driver on the Alesis website which implies there is additional functionality. If you just plug this in, it is found by Windows and all is good. We’ve acquired an Alesis Multimix 8 USB FX mixer with a USB interface to the PC. This is another one of those “lots of people must have found this error but no-one seems to know the answer” queries…
