Knobster looses connection

#1 Post by hgt001 »

Hi.

Main pc running MSFS2022 and Airmanager V4.
Second pc running Airplayer V4 on a touchscreen.
Knobster V2 is connected to the second pc, but is not functioning.

I have the Knobster visible on the device list - under the Airplayer icon,
but it is greyed out.

Can somebody help?

Did you try a different USB port? Did you try plugging it the other way around? Did you try a different cable?

I have tried different ports, and the knobster (and cable) works on the pc with Airmanager installed.

Any clues anyone?

I have tried all different USB ports.
Disabled firewall on both computers.
Tried disconnecting all usb-hardware.

Ralph,
I could try installing airplayer and Knobster to my laptop running windows 10, and see if it works on that one.
How would that affect the AP licensing?

Regards

Hans

Google says something about incorrect drivers, which can happen if you updated from for example Windows 7 to Windows 10.

You can reset your Air Player license:

Thanks Ralph.

Yes you're right - this is an older computer updatet from win7 to win10.
