Xboard

Should you lose MIDI communication between your Xboard and an audio appli-
cation (Cubase, Sonar, etc.) or the Xboard Control software, the Xboard drivers 
may need to be re-selected in your application.

1. Go to your application's MIDI I/O settings, de-select the Xboard for both 

MIDI input and output (or select a different MIDI device).

2. Apply these changes and exit the dialog.
3. Re-enter the application's MIDI settings and re-select the Xboard drivers. If 

this does not work, the application may need to be restarted.

You may encounter a situation where the Xboard Control or Proteus X software is 
not running properly, even though the MIDI device itself seems to be working fine.
If this is the case, you may be in a situation where the Microsoft USB Audio Device 
driver is running, rather than the E-MU USB Xboard Driver. This may happen if 
you add a USB Hub, or if you plug the Xboard keyboard into a different USB port 
than the one it was plugged into when you installed the Xboard software.



1. Temporarily disconnect any USB audio devices you may have connected (USB 

audio/USB MIDI interfaces, etc.).

2. Connect the Xboard to a USB port and switch the power to the on position.
3. Windows may prompt the user with an Add New Hardware Wizard--Cancel 

this wizard.

4. Start menu „ Settings „ Control Panel „ System „ Hardware „ Device  

Manager.

5. Under Sound, Video and Game Controllers, find the device called either USB 

Audio Device or E-MU Xboardxx.

6. Double-click on this device and then click on Driver.
7. If the vendor shown here is E-MU Systems, you have run into a different-

problem, and you should contact Technical Support.

If the vendor shown here is Microsoft, instead of E-MU Systems, you have 
indeed run into this situation. Continue on to the next section.
