You may need to update the A4 if you haven’t already. Also, make sure you have OverBridge Mode checked in System Settings. If you have USB checked, OverBridge on your PC won’t see it.

How is your A4 connected to your computer? Via USB or via DIN MIDI? Have you configured the A4 correctly to match the connection type?

(INPUT FROM/OUTPUT TO in port config)

Also turn off Overbridge mode while you update (Global/System/USB Config page should be set to USB MIDI)

Does the A4’s screen show as 1.50A when it starts up now? Did you reenable Overbridge mode in USB CONFIG menu after updating?
