Ekona Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Anyone shed any light on this for me? I'm sure I'm missing the obvious here. I have a USB device that records music (it's a guitar fx board). On the Win10 Sound Recording tab, it happily shows that it's receiving an input, and using Audacity I can record whatever I want no worries at all. It plays back fine too. So why can't I get Windows to play the sound back instantly live (without recording) via the speakers hooked up to my PC? I've done it before, completely accidentally and completely unwanted, but now I want to do it I can't I want to pick up and play the live sound from the board straight via USB to my PC speakers, basically. What am I doing wrong here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 You checked every single one of the various output volumes for each input? No sneaky checked mute boxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, if you know a way to reduce the latency as well I'll send you a Curly Wurly in the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyAfro Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Being USB rather than 3.5mm, I'm not sure it'll work, but if you go to the Levels tab for your speaker properties do you have to option adjust the mic level? If so, set the level to 100 and make sure it's unmuted. You can then use that instead and uncheck "Listen to this device". If it's not there, try a USB to 3.5mm converter, unless that messes with the functionality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
