Connection problems..

[Staccato]

Hi everbody!

I´m really starting to get tired of this problem, and I haven´t found any solution to it, even though I´ve tried for a couple of days. I have my Triton connected to the mixer, the mixer to M-audio mobilepreUsb, and then to the computer via usb. The thing that doesn´t work is that I don´t get any sound out of the speakers connected to the computer. I get signal in both the mixer and in the audio interface, but nothing is sounding from the speakers. I have tried changing the settings in the volume part of the computer, but it still doesn´t work. Have I forgot anything? It´s installed properly and so.. Help please..

you probably already know this, but it's obviously a problem with your PC. You made no mention about what software you're using, so I'll need to know if you're using a sequencer or audio software in order to help you there. If you're not and you just want to hear the sound, it's a matter of setting the output in the M-Audio mixer panel. I have both a Delta1010 and a Firewire 410 and each has the ability to route your input audio to the various outputs. Look for a "monitor" destination. That's probably what you want, short of a direct route from the input to the output. Other than that, I can't really help because the mixer panel is different for each M-Audio product.

If that doesn't help, post screenshots of each page of the mixer applet and I'll point out what to set up where

yeah, I know! I´m first of all trying to just make it sound.. but I have cubase, but haven´t tried it with help from that. I´ve been messing with the M-audio mixer panel, but still can´t get it to work!:S I can use the headphones and connect them to the M-audio interface, but nothin in the speaker system when I want to.. It should be enough to connect it via usb right.. or should I go from the outputlines on the back?

The mixer panel only has tre things..usb record, direct monitor and device output. the two first goes from -50 to +12, the last from -50 to 0..

Hm, I´m thinkin of connecting the speaker system to the audio interface, but then I can´t hear the sounds of midi files played on the computer.. damn this suck!

so.... if I'm understanding what you wrote... You have the Audio interface plugged into your USB port, but you don't have your speakers hooked up to it? Eh... That's your problem. What do you have your speakers hooked up to? Your old internal sound card? It doesn't work like that. The USB audio interface IS your soundcard now. Yes, I know you can access both thru Windows, but unless you route your audio from one soundcard to another (have to do that thru Cubase), it's NOT going to work like that.
