It use to be fine but now when I connect my usb with the Rio carbon to the computer all it says is USB connected and idle. I've tried going to device manager but it doesn't even list the the device or usb.
Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard.

Just Says plugged into USB IDLE
I have the same problem...my Rio Carbon can't find the driver....this worked a few months ago.
wow ok I fixed my freeezed up rio carbon
I got my drumsticks and started hitting the back of it till it made the correct power sound
it was amazing because after so many months and frustration trying to fix it the easiest solution was hitting it
I even took it apart at one point
I have the same problem. One day it was working fine and the next day it would not detect the device. i unplugged all my other usb devices and it still will not recognize it. it does say it is charging but i cannot access it.
oh yeah and the volume scroll thing broke on my rio like 3 years ago lol
im disapointed in the product. i paid like 250 for it. *sigh*
