20 Most Recent Tascam FW-1804 Sound Card Questions & Answers

There are many things that can go wrong with electronics: power supply (or cord); capacitors "pop"; resistors break from heat; soldered connections weaken; volume/on/off/ other switches and controls can get carbon build-up; and the list goes on. I would think almost any TV repair shop would at least look at it for you, and tell you if it is something they can do. It is a pretty easy matter to narrow the problem down.

I need details so I can answer your question

Tascam sight can only work with 32 bit version

Try Start > All Programs > Windows Update > Change settings. Make sure recommended updates is checked.

Then do a scan for updates and see if it will pick up the soundcard.

I've tried multiple times to set up the 1804 with my mac pro...so far no go...the computer hasn't been recognizing the unit. I've installed, uninstalled, reinstalled a few times, made sure I had the right 6 pin fw cable, plugged it in when prompted, and still, the control box of the 1804 states there is no available device. I did downloaded the most current version. Before I go through this process again, do you have any advice on some more possible kinks?

I had the same problem after re-installing windows. The firewire just didnt work on the tascam interface. I managed to solve the problem by upgrading from windows xp to windows vista. I downloaded the vista drivers from the tascam site and everything sprang back into action. Problem solved! Hope this helps.
