Did I blow up my driver?

Magix Samplitude Studio 2016 (Full Version)

Behringer Uphoria 202 HD

Surface 4 Pro Win 10

For fun I got my hands on a TC-Helicon Performer V.  I put it inline between the mic and the Behringer.  Played with for a bit and now I can not record anything.  I was using the Behringer Driver.  

So Questions I have:

1. Did I blow up the driver?  Getting notified at startup that the driver now fails to load.

2. Should I switch to the ASio4all Driver?

Any help will be welcome.

Hi

. . . . Did I blow up my driver? . . .

You cannot blow up your driver.  The TC-Helicon Performer V is a analog in / out device and would not affect the Behringer drivers.

More likely the Behringer drivers have been corrupted.

Disconnect the Behringer from the PC and unistall its drivers, reboot the computer and then rconnect/install the Behringer again.

I just reread my question and discovered I may not have been clear.  "blowing up my driver" was refering to my Behringer driver on the PC and it being corrupt.  This was an old PC term.  But you nailed it.  I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and all is right with the world.  Thank you so much for the responce.

Hi

. . . . This was an old PC term. . . . .

Well that is a new one on me - 30+ years in IT from programmer through to management, and never heard that expression once.

Pleased you are back up and working again.

Well I have been IT Mgt in Fortune 500 Companies (6 to be exact, most notably WANG / Lotus) and worked for the federal court system re-orginizing .com's that filed for bankruptcy.  For 35 years.  But the term "blown driver" actually came from the old WWIV BBS system when we were still in DOS (long before the internet was open to all)  systems and it happened all the time.  I have not seen it recently however until my Behringer went out. 

And for the record 30+ years in IT is not grounds for attitude when questions are not asked correctly.  It has always been my hope that IT pro's would learn a little from sears.  The only stupid question is the one you don't ask!
