Issues fixed:

- The highlighted scene in the Scene screen list would not follow SoftKey scene navigation. The Scene list and SoftKey navigation now follow each other
- Mix Compressor sidechain source was Post-PEQ but pre-GEQ. This has been corrected to be post-PEQ, post-GEQ

Known Issues - Qu-Drive:

- An unformatted USB key plugged into Qu-Drive is not always recognized by the mixer. You may need to first format the USB key on a PC or Mac (FAT 32), then try to format it again on the Qu mixer.
- ‘Next’ Scene does not update correctly in the screen toolbar if you highlight a scene previously named with 22 or more characters using a version of V1.1 firmware. Rename it with 21 or fewer characters for it to be displayed correctly.

Known issues – Other:

- Some USB noise can be heard on the ST3 input channel when the top panel ST3 mini-jack input is selected as its source and nothing is plugged in. Mute this channel or turn its fader off when it is not being used. The noise is not present when an audio source is plugged in.
- Plugging a low impedance signal into a local preamp socket while 48V phantom power is switched ON can cause an audible click at outputs even if the channel is muted. To avoid this plug the source in before turning 48V on

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
