Portsdown 4 with Landstone & Pluto Problem

Just incase someone else gets this problem.

I have had many failed attempts at getting Langstone to work.
Simple answer
Connect Pluto directly to Raspberry Pi 4 USB - NOT through a powered HUB.

Simple cure for a problem that had me looking at every other possible fault.
I use the powered hub for all the other bits connected to my Portsdown.

Also the Pluto box on Output Device Menu is dark Blue - it was not highlighted before.
So the Pluto should be connected directly to the Raspberry Pi 4 for Portsdown to work with it as well. ( It did seem to work before but button not highlighted )

Is it just my powered HUB?

Thanks for all your investigation on this Martin. We are all learning about this system!

I have amended the Wiki to recommend connecting the Pluto directly to a USB3 port on the Raspberry Pi 4.
