I have my US 800 attached to the power strip that the computer is on, and when i power up the strip it is on, and then i turn on the computer it finds the unit.

What is important is that you have FULLY installed the software driver, and most likely gone to Tascam and got the most recent driver for your OS.

I love my US 800 it is clean and simple, but USB interfaces tend to need to be handled the same way.

One other thing to check, re read the instruction that came with the Tascam unit, i believe it tells you a very specific way to install the software. Make absolutely sure you follow the proper sequence.
