Guess what? Rocksmith told me the cable wasn’t connected. Aw, man!!

I spent most of the afternoon debugging this. I updated all kinds of drivers and GEForce Experience, tried to update Direct X run time module(s),1)Apparently I had the latest version already. updated the BIOS with a flash, 2)All the while holding my breath!, tried all four USB 2.0 ports, for good measure tried USB 3.0 too,3)Apparently the cable isn’t compatible with those, which may be dubious information, but as it wasn’t working anyway …. and finally tried a powered USB hub. Nothing doing.

So then I installed the Discord app and posted a query on the CustomsForge channel. Apparently power issues are the most common cause of the so-called Code 10 error I was getting4)This is visible from the Device Manager, by the way. but I’d already tried that.

While I awaited a reply, in total despair I tried the other ports on the powered USB hub. It turns out that the one nearest the power supply input worked!!

This sounds like a potentially unstable solution, so I’ll likely obtain another powered USB hub if someone gets back to me regarding that.

  • I updated GeForce Experience on the Dell G5
  • I installed the Elgato Video Capture software, in order to record things from the Shaw Direct PVR which is being returned shortly:
    • updated the software on the MacBook Pro, but couldn’t get it to work
    • installation of the main application on the Dell G5 (which didn’t initially work)
    • installation of the video capture driver on the Dell G5 (after which, it did).
