[K3] Use of Tascam US-322 with Laptop

[KK5IB]

I have a Tascam US-322 Audio Interface that works well with my K3 and desktop computer. I have tried to use it with my laptops for portable ops but they do not have enough power to run the interface. Is there a way to power the interface apart from the usual USB computer connection? I would also like to use the interface for some audio recording.
Thanks,
Darryl, KK5IB

Two suggestions. First, try a different port on the laptop. Sometimes
one port has more power available than another. Second, try a powered
USB hub. My Tascam US100 and Numark stereo IO both power quite nicely
from my T4x-series laptops.

Thanks for suggestions. Problem was that the software and drivers had to be installed before connecting the interface. Found that out by reading the manual. Works fine now.

Yes, it always helps to read the manual!  Even for the coffeemaker -
they *used* to be so simple.
