This last sunday, I made the upgrade from win 7 to win 10 on my notebook, everything seemed to be fine but, although Line 6 had made available Win 10 drivers for the Guitar Port I use with this notebook, none of my softwares recognised the interface.  Surprisingly, Groove and Windows Media player can see the interface and play songs through Guitar Port.  I don't have a clue of how to solve this issue.  I think I'll have to rollback to win 7....


I didn't know Line 6 had the Win 10 drivers.......I have the Toneport Gold DI and gave it up (as well as my beloved POD Farm Platinum 2) due to their lack of driver support on Win 8 (at the time).....good to know and will visit Line 6 again. Thanks Atsuko!!
 
Regarding your issue, do what the good Doktor says :)...make sure your Line 6 Monkey Installer is also up to date. If the current drivers for Win 10 won't work, possibly try a previous/older version. You can also try plugging it in a different USB port  (may/may not make a difference).

The only reasons not to go to 10 are (1) Hardware compatibility, (2) Software compatibility (3) Unable to cope with change.


Bravo Berd, no one has had the guts to say it until you.

I tried everything I could, uninstalled/reinstalled several times!! It seems that the softs cannot see the interface or maybe it's in use by another application but which one? I looked for in the task manager but couldn't find any that could be the culprit...

I'll have to cope with the change at some point (our programs won't support Win 7 forever), but It does seem like pointless change, only for pointless change sake. I'll wait until I have the time to waste learning another program the will not benefit me at all.
I also own a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta Sport turbo, but it's not diesel.

Thanks Ane!!
I'll head on over there tonight and hope the drivers will work. :)
(will also post back on my findings once I install)
 
Not sure if this will make a difference in your troubleshooting, but do you see the Tone Port as the default device in your Playback Devices (Win 10 taskbar)?
It's been awhile since I used Line 6 stuff, so I'll keep thinking on this and post back if something pops into my head.

Yes, the Guitar Port is the default device and it works very well with Groove (the new Windows player) and Windows Media. Maybe it's a clue, why windows recognizes and uses the interface but Sonar, RX3 & 4, XLN, EZDrummer, etc. cannot?

Possibly check what's the sample rate in Tone Port and make sure it matches to what's set in those other software's??

No problem. As I said...Window 10 seemed to work fine with everything I own. That was something I wanted to know. I'll eventually switch over, but I'm not a fan of all the BS and bloat that Win 10 has. I'm waiting for ADK to go through it and see what optimization needs to be done...if any. I'm just venting.
