    Default Audio 8 Doesn't Work! HELP!

    So i'm running an Late '11 macbook pro, 2.4ghz/16gb/ram/mountain lion running traktor 2.6. I've been practicing all week on my Audio 8 with no issues, and after getting home from my gig yesterday I went to set it back up. The following LEDs are lit:

    USB
    MIDI IN/OUT
    Input Mode (Channel A-B) are all solid green and the software lock light is on

    Traktor isn't recognizing the soundcard. It's also not showing up in the Audio 8 setup window, or the OSX Audio/Midi window.
    I've tried
    Different usb port
    different cable
    uninstall/reinstall the drivers

    nothing seems to work. Any ideas on how to fix it?

    You have to use a power adapter or a powered usb hub for the audio 8 to work correctly

    There isn't a provision for a power adapter. And i've never used a powered hub with it before....?

    No you don't. I guess it could be the usb port on the audio 8 itself...it sounds like you've tried everything else at this point.

    You are plugging it in before launching Traktor, right? Also, you don't need drivers with a Mac.

    No power adapter with the 8. Make sure you plug it into the USB closest to the screen since its supposedly faster

    I use my audio 8 just about every week and I haven't had a problem like this. I've had to reset the ins and outs in Traktor when I go between my Z2 at home and audio 8 for gigs. That's the worst of it. Hope you can figure this out!

    Reinstall the firmware of the card.

    Does it show up at all when you plug it in? LIke does your computer recognize something has been plugged in (not neccessarily identifying it)

    When I owned the audio 8 it never worked right without consistent power... It's ok in USB power for a midi co triller type use but for scratch I had to have POWER. Why do you think NI includes the adapters with the audio 6/10, s2/4 now???... I'd assume they go tired if people complaining about the interfaces but working right

    The Audio 8 has no power socket, so using a powered hub is no different than plugging it directly into your computer. Using an unpowered hub will of course provide less power.
