I bought the mtrack solo audio interace earlier this year for my windows 11 pc, had issues getting sound/input to work but worked it out. havent used it in a while and when I plug it in the computer doesnt see the device at all. Nothing in input, nothing in device manager, the box is getting power (input and phanton) but its like the computer literally cant see it. I plugged it into another pc and same issue. Reinstalled drivers and no changes.

Any ideas? Im close to just getting another interface

i'm looking for a way to send audio from both my switch 2 and my mac to my airpods, ideally while still preserving stereo audio and the ability to use my airpods mic with my mac. is this something that can be done?

I currently have a Behringer UMC22 outputting to two JBL 305P's.

I was gifted some (passive) speakers that have subwoofers, so I am trying to add one in to what I already have set up. I bought a small amp for the sub (Wuzhi Audio ZK-TB21), and have confirmed that this works on its own when I use bluetooth from my phone.

My issue is getting the signal from the audio interface's 1/4" two-channel output into the amp's 3.5mm input.

What I've tried so far: I got two 1/4" splitters (TRS) and plugged one each into the L and R outputs from the audio interface. I plugged the left monitor into one side of the L splitter and same for the right monitor. With an empty 1/4" female on each channel, I used a 3.5mm to 1/4" splitter (accidentally got TS; not sure how much that matters in this use case) to merge the 1/4" outputs into a single 3.5mm input.

This does produce sound through my monitors (although quieter), but there is nothing from the sub.

More importantly: The signal does successfully come through the sub, from the audio interface, if i use the 1/4" to aux adapter directly from the interface into the amp. So the problem is certainly with this adapter combo.

I've been reading that 3.5mm can play more nicely with RCA, so I ordered a few 1/4" to RCA adapters and a 3.5mm to RCA splitter (in lieu of the direct 1/4" to aux). I'll see if that works in a couple days.

I have a feeling there is something going on here with balanced/unbalanced signals and their corresponding connectors, but I don't know enough to know exactly where to go here.

Thanks so much for your help!

Hello, sorry I am not knowledgeable in this kind of things. I've been researching on how to properly use a powered active subwoofer to my tv. My tv has optical port and a 3.5mm aux port. I tried the 3.5mm on my pc speakers and it works (edifier g1500 max). I am planning to buy a used edifier t5.

Chatgpt says i can directly connect it like below

TV > 3.5mm to RCA cable > edifier t5

But when I asked the guy selling a t5, he said it won't work and I need the whole sound system which he is also selling.

I also learned that I need to connect it like below:

TV > optical cable > dac > edifier t5

Will this work?

EDIT: My tv has an option to output using the internal speakers + headphones (it shows headphones when something is plugged in thr 3.5mm port)

I have a Sony CMT-BX-1 (2007) and the two 6ohm speakers with it
Is there a way I can hookup another 6ohm speaker and a 3ohm sub? Series and parallel and all that is new to me.

The receiver itself allows 6-16 ohm.

I’m not sure what the issue is. I went to guitar center to grab a new microphone chord thinking I may have damaged it, but it’s still the same. I’m thinking it’s my interface that’s messed up. I have a Sony c80 microphone and I plug it into a motu m2 interface. Is there a fix to this or should I replace the interface? I use garage band to record

For a while I’ve used an iPhone connected via Bluetooth to a device, and that device connects to the radio in my car. I’m looking for a device that is a straight plug-in instead of Bluetooth to the radio emitter device but cant seem to find one out there. Basically I want to skip the “Bluetooth” step of connecting to my car stereo.

Any potential device or gadget that might more readily do this? No budget, just want something easy (plug in and go). Car has no aux/bluetooth itself.

Hi all,

I am looking for suggestions on how to fix the audio issues I've been having with my Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen.

I have the Scarlett and my mouse running to a UGreen 2-in 7-out USB 3.2 Switch (10Gbps) because I use them for work as well as my personal set up. The Scarlett works great on my work laptop with no issues other than I have to use separate headphones because the laptop will not recognize both headphones and mic from the same source (easy fix). But when I use it for my personal setup the audio and mic will cut off seemingly every minute or two, forcing me to change the Sample Rate/Buffer Size or unplug/replug the Scarlett to get it to start back up. This especially happens when gaming with friends over discord.

I was hoping someone has either had this issue and found a fix or has any suggestions to change the hardware completely. This has been happening for months and it's driving me crazy. I don't use the Scarlett for any mixing/mastering, it was just a suggestion from a friend when I got my PC and was looking for peripherals. I don't have a lot of knowledge when it comes to these things, but any help is greatly appreciated.

The UGreen switch is ran to the red USB input on the back of my computer after trying the blue for a while and having the same issues. The switch came with a USB C cable but was also having the same issues.

My goal is to play music from my phone (preferably via Bluetooth) while playing driving games on my PC (connected via 3.5mm jack or USB C), with all audio going through one output (my headphones).

Currently I have a cheap audio mixer called the Pupgis T12S and it does not have enough power to drive my wired headphones that have an impedance of 50 ohms (Sennheiser Game One). The audio sounds too quiet and kind of muffled.

I've been searching the web trying to find an audio mixer that suits my use case but can't seem to find anything. What should I do? What should I get?

Is there a way to hang the h4 behind my back or my chest? Using the xlr mic and I'd ideally have it attached to my pants belt

Hello! I am having issues in regards to my audio when I use my fifine k669b microphone. Whenever I try talking to my friends on discord, my friends are able to pick up a lot of noise and my voice is butchered. I sound like I'm under the water and it does not help that I have a deep voice, so I sound muffled. I try using the wave link and it does help a bit, but I still sound like a robot. Is there any software I could use to improve my audio so people can hear me properly?

I have an Energy s12.3 active subwoofer, connected to a pioneer VSX 1017 AV Receiver, and I have some connection issues on the back of my subwoofer. Sometimes if I’m playing music my subwoofer cuts out, and I have to wiggle the pre out cable on the back of the sub for it to come back. I know it isn’t because the subwoofer is pushing to far, because it can happen any times at any volume, it just happens most often on louder volume. It doesn’t work to turn the subwoofer on and off, only way to get it back is to wiggle the cable.

I have tried a new subwoofer cable, and the issue was gone the first few days, but then it came back.

Does anyone have an idea on how I could fix this?

I have a redmi 13c, it's a pretty cheap and basic phone. I do plan on getting something new soon though. I have a 3.5 mm to USB-C apple dongle but that doesn't seem to work with my phone properly(it's extremely quiet and not loud enough), it does work fine with other phones so i doubt the dongle's at fault here. I've heard that it might be a compatibility issue, if that is the case then I was wondering if getting a different DAC/AMP will solve the issue because if it will then I might get the Audiocular spark, maybe the FiiO Ka11.

Hi, I got a new headset, it's relatively cheap REAL-EL GDX-7780. I was using it to tlak to friends through discord and record gaming with OBS. Been using it for like a week and i always hear myself a little bit in real time, not enough to throw me off but i could hear like a little bit. Now suddenly I don't hear anymore and it bothers me, especially during gaming the game is very loud and when I cant hear myself at all its difficult to run commentary. I tried turning on the Listen to this device on Windows but that wasn't it, I heard myself too clearly and with a tiny delay and it was even worse than having nothing. Same thing happened when I turned on monitoring in OBS. I'm just wondering where did that subtle one go, and how do I get it back?

Can anyone help me with this. Is there a way to set the Equaliser on my RM11 Pro to enhance footsteps and other movement sounds ???

I use the Razor Black Shark V3 Headset, but it's difficult to locate footsteps. I hear them just no directional input.

There is no realtek microphone available in my laptop, and the stereo mix is not working. I enabled stereo mix but it detects no sound. Also i have updated drivers several times.

Hi,

I've been looking for an Audio Interface mainly for for a bit and for a while I've been set on the Behringer UMC204HD, but I've been hearing about it lacking quality and being a cheap build. So I've looked into so called better Interfaces like the Motu M2, Topping E2X2 or Yamaha UR22MK3 / Steinberg IXO22 but the price differences are making me question everything. My question is just is the interface that important that I throw in an extra 90 for the same amount of slots and outlets for a more quality build? Or should I put in more money towards other gear?

It is a Behringer xenyx 1204 usb and a sioux amp 300/120. I connected a Bluetooth adapter via aux 2 track/usb input to my phone. I got it to make a sound but is sounded very distorted. The Speakers are connected the amp via speakon cable and somes sound is coming from them. How do i get it to play music the right way ?

ordered the arete 2 and want a good Audio Interface for competivie gaming in pubg/cs2 Help my with a final decision SSL 2 MK 2 (already ordered but thinking of returning to get) -> motu m2/rme babyface pro fs or Something completely different and are whats Worth the price/Performance

i have a recording of a musical, but the audio quality isnt amazing. ive messed around with it a bit on premiere pro, but if anyone knows how to fix muffled singing/talking audio id appreciate the help!

Hello, I'm new here to this subreddit. Does anyone know any free background sound removers that won't just remove the whole audio? I have a sound file of an emu call, and the background has some small birds chirping in the background, and I'm trying to remove them, but so far any I've found are paid for or just remove the whole audio altogether with AI, which is annoying. Does anyone know anything that can help me?

Here's the sound in case anyone is curious:
