When I start Sibelius 5 on my laptop, I get this error every time that says, "No motu Audio Device could be found. Make sure your MOTU Audio Device is connected and powered on.". However, here's the problem, I no longer use my Motu Audio interface on my laptop. How do I get rid of this error? -----Original Message----- From: sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Bosher Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2014 6:31 AM To: sib-access@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sib-access] Re: problem starting sib 5 Hi Thomas, This is a known problem, and the solution is to replace a file within the Sibelius Software program folder, called portaudio_x86.dll, with an updated version. You can download a zipped version of the updated file here: http://www.soundlinks.com/portaudio_x86.zip HTH, Best, Peter At 16:16 20/10/2014, you wrote: >Hi all, >I experience a strange problem starting sib 5. >I ave just installed sib 5 on a new macbook pro using bootcamp and win 7. >When I open it, I get an incompatibility message >with win 7.
