Just got a new MSI CDW drive and Wavelab doesn't see it. When I go to write a CD, it just shows 'no selection' in the list of available devices. Anyone know of anything I can do to sort this out?

Running latest version of W/L? If you've still got problems there's the VOB driver configuration app that comes with it allowing you to force it to use generic MMC drivers for CDWriter usage

Cheers for the reply. I am running 4.01b, which is the latest as far as I am aware. I've looked at the VOB Drvreg thingy and am a little confused as to how it works. Obviously, I can't find my CDRW drive in the list, neither can I find anything that would be a close match. Should I be able to find a generic driver that would work? If so, what am I loking for?

is the whole ASPI layer thing an issue?

I once copied a certain file from NERO over to the wavelab folder, and my drive showed up immediately

Well Wavelab comes with an ASAPI update, which I ran when I first installed it and also when I reinstalled it yesterday to see if it would make a difference. It didn't get the drive recognised, but maybe this is different from what you're speaking about Influx. Any chance you could find out which file it was that you copied, as my Nero has had no problems recognising the drive?

the dreaded 'wavelab can't see the drive' routine.

sometimes it can be because wavelab likes to see the drive as a master device on the IDE bus

did you try making it IDE Master or is it already?

second, after the asapi update didn't work you can try alternative drivers... steinberg's page for this is notoriously unreliable (usualy the supported drive page is missing on their site)

Do a name-Search in dancetech FILES section for 'wavelab'

you'll find the driver list & driver files there - grab them and run the latest one and choose your drive - IF your drive isnt listed, try one of the ones CLOSE to your drive model.

Cheers K. I have already given all of the wavelab CDR driver and ASAPI updates a go, but to no avail. The steinborg site isn't letting me download the latest updates and there is no close match to my drive in any of the existing driver lists. There isn't even a driver available for any MSI drives released in the last two years. I have also just tried the Adaptec ASPI layer update and that didn't work. This really is a load of bollocks! Am I just gonna have to wait until steinborg get around to releasing the relevant drivers for the MSI CD Writers?

Aha! Found the solution! Well I haven't tested it yet, but the drive shows up at least. I'll give the writer a test tomorrow, but am off to bed now.

BTW, it was a freakin' registry entry that needed to be updated.

Cheers for the help people.

Regards.
