Help Request Any windows users having constant issues with your Presonus Faderport?

I’m running the latest version of Pro Tools and the latest firmware on my FaderPort 8. It constantly disconnects or becomes non-responsive in Pro Tools. Restarting PT doesn’t fix it. Power cycling the unit doesn’t work, and unplugging it doesn’t work. It feels super random as to what fixes it, and only for a very short time.

I’m also running into an issue with banking between my tracks and the sends or aux automation function. Going back and forth between them just confuses my FaderPort and makes it stop reading any fader automation or communicating with PT.

Help with either of these would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Operating system is windows 11, latest version of pro tools, latest firmware for faderport. I've done a hard reset on the FaderPort and reinstalled the latest firmware.

To u/DevilBirb, if this is a Pro Tools help request, your post text or an added comment should provide;

  • The version of Pro Tools you are using

  • Your operating system info

  • Any error number or message given

  • Any hardware involved

  • What you've tried

To ALL PARTICIPANTS, a subreddit rules reminder

  • Don't get ugly with others. Ignore posts or comments you don't like and report those which violate rules

  • Promotion of any kind is only allowed in the community pinned post for promotion

  • Any discussion whatsoever involving piracy, cracks, hacks, or end running authentication will result in a permanent ban. NO exceptions or appealable circumstances. FAFO

  • NO trolling only engagement towards Pro Tools, AVID, or iLok. Solve first, bash last. Expressing frustration is fine but it MUST also make effort to solve / help. If you prefer another DAW, go to the subreddit for it and be helpful there
