Hello, I have an M-Audio midi-uno and it isn't popping up anywhere in windows 8; it plugs in via usb 2.0.
When I plug it in a light on the device turns on and slowly flashes on/off.
When I plug it into my piano and play notes the indicator lights that show key presses flash on/off

Yet when I load up mixcraft 6 it doesn't show the device.
Device manager doesn't show the device. (in Sound, game and video controllers) (I do click refresh devices)
I've tried adding the device and using the troubleshooters.
M-audio says the device shouldn't need drivers (Yet I found my w7 laptop needed the drivers)
Their website has Windows 8 driver downloads but they aren't actually Windows 8 drivers. They do not have drivers for Windows 8. (it's just the w7 driver)

I know there's nothing wrong with the device, i've used it for the last 3 weeks playing the harp/auxiliary Piano in a musical. (it was plugged into my laptop)
my desktop obviously is more powerful than my laptop and I would rather use my piano in a system that doesn't lag.

I've contacted m-audio support and they didn't say much:
Try plugging into usb 2.0
Try testing to make sure the device works

Does anyone know anything else I can try? Other than waiting for M-audio to release Windows 8 drivers that will never come out because windows 8 has no support for midi.
Maybe some tool that I don't know about?

n/a find on m-audios website
