Audio Interface Keeps Dropping

[Koey]

I've got an old ass Lexicon Omega Audio Interface (I think from like 2010ish) running on my Lenovo Y50 laptop using FL Studio 12. I've been trying to troubleshoot this, but can't seem to pinpoint the issue, but my initial guess is pointing towards my audio interface since it is so old - I'm thinking the compatibility of the model is outdated with the current version of Windows. I'm not 100% sure on this.

The issue I'm having is that my audio from my audio interface will often "drop" and then I'll have to go into my audio settings and "reboot" it which gets hella annoying and disrupts my workflow. Has anyone else come across this issue before and know what the cause of the issue is? I left links to the items I referred to above for reference.

have you updated the driver software from the lexicon website?

What version of windows?

That laptop has both usb 3.0 and USB 2.0 does the behavior change if it is in a different USB port?

I doubt it would be Windows unless maybe if it's 10. But still, it should work ok. Yeah, like @thedreampolice said, could be USB or the Lexicon driver.

It could be @Fade if maybe he has windows 7 32bit for example. It just helps to know.

I've got WIndows 10 and I think I may have figured out the reason why lol my shit is mad outdated. It's not up with the times. They haven't put out drivers for Windows 10 due to the product being discontinued. I might need to upgrade my audio interface...

I've got USB 3.0 hub that I'm using that it's currently being connected to. My laptop has USB 3.0 built in.

Download the latest Windows 8 drivers and install, also try plugging it directly in to your laptop and not using the hub

I'll give it shot and let you know if anything changes. Thanks!
