Input problem with UCA202 usb audio interface and Garageband

Hello, i've tried to connect my guitar in my UCA202 Bheringer audio Interface, and the sound goes fine for few minutes and after i get a noisy distorsioned sound with a big delay...
I dont know if the problem comes from the MacBook, the sound card, Garageband or else...
it come only from input guitar device.
Thanks to help.
Alex

There are other posts concerning this problem. I also have a UCA202 and a Peavey PV10 USB mixer. It seams that anything using the 10.4.11 or 10.5.1 mac USB drivers are having this issue. I had to go back to 10.4.10 to resolve at this point. My recordings are clean when going back. There is 10.5.2 comming soon and it is not known if this will fix it. Check this thread for updates.

Audio input setup with a USB audio interface

When i plug my USB audio interface into the USB port, GB gives me a message that it has been detected, and it shows up in the audio input preferences.
But it doesn't seem to be listening. Signals light up on the interface when i speak into the mike, but not on my GB.
I also switched to the device I'm using in my Mac input sound preferences.
Hints, anyone?

Nothing - it's a new project. Thought maybe I ought to get the input device working before starting.

Pancenter,
Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Tristan
Tristan...
This is what you have, correct?
http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
This from Alesis..
"The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

SOLVED (?): my problem with HotSync (USB, Zire 72 and Win XP)

As noted in many other messages, it is not uncommon for the HotSync to fail with USB connection when the "Local USB" option disappears from the manager menu.
I noticed this earlier today and like many others had information that I needed to transfer via USB to my computer.
After a number of false tries, I saw a message about using Device Manager to check the status of the handheld. In my case, the device had a yellow blob with a "?" on it and when I right-clicked, it said the driver was not available.
Following another post, I located the drivers and used the Hardware Wizard to update the driver.
This was not straightforward to me and I am posting to mention what worked for me.
The problem is telling the Wizard what file to use or ALTERNATIVELY where to find it OR what type of driver file to look for.
In my case, I told it to look in the palm directory (this is wrong, it is in the USB_Drivers subdirectory and I didn't realize it, or the Wizard didn't let me go to the subdirectory level). The Wizard did not allow me to click OK (greyed out) and so I tried the alternative of looking by TYPE. Here it displayed palm handheld as one type and I selected this, but again the OK was greyed out.
I took another look at the choices and selected ports and com (probably kind of an obvious choice for a USB connection <g>) and this one came up with a specific .sys file and I was now able to click OK.
The Wizard went through an install and afterward, I tried hotsyncing and it worked without a problem.
I believe the problem is caused at least in part because the Palm Install program doesn't install the driver in the subdirectory (in Win32?) where Win XP expects it.
Since the file is now in the right place, hopefully it is a real (permanent) solution.
Thanks for the messages others posted that helped me (hopefully) fix this.
Steve
Post relates to: Zire 72

Do you have the latest system driver updates.Think the latest update (version 2.78,updated through Live Update or the verion at nVidia website) does address that issue. I updated,however, I do not have any 2.0 devices so I am not sure that my 2.0 is working.They work fine for me at 1.1.
There is also a USB 2.0 patch version 5.1.2600.1106 available on Live Update as well. I have already updated that as well

Only one channel of audio recorded with external USB audio interface on DV6604nr

I only get on channel of audio when i hookup my Behringer UCA202 to my dv6604nr
vista 32 sp2 . The Behringer takes analog 2 channel audio and converts it to a digital signal.
This is using the Audacity software. The hardware and software check fine, though i tested them with an xp system.
Are there trouble shooting tips for these issues. I've updated the Audacity software and the usb drivers say their up to date. (?)

Come on... It's just like a usb turntable, only a little better quality. What steps would you use to troubleshoot one of those?

USB audio interface

Hey guys,
I have a USB audio interface and I'm not sure how to get it working on Arch. It actually randomly started working one day when my sound settings in gnome started to show more than just "Digital Output (S/PDIF) - Built-in Audio" for possible output devices. One of those extra devices sent audio to the interface. Those entries just disappeared though and I'm not sure how to get them back. I'm using ALSA.
I'm not sure what additional information you may need.
Thanks

Have you looked on the ALSA wiki about USB sound devices?

Live Capture with a camera via firewire and usb audio interface

I am trying to do a live capture through Final Cut 7.
I want the video feed through the firewire from my HVX200 and the audio feed from a 4 channel usb audio interface (Alesis iO4).
When I have both audio and video input coming in from the HVX200, the live capture works fine.
However, when I change the audio input so that it is coming from the usb audio interface, final cut has an error message saying "Video is not available."
During the preview, I see the video clearly and am getting levels from the iO4.
But when I try to capture, I get the error message.
Is it a processor issue (I've attached my specs below) with problems handling 2 separate inputs?
I'm not quite sure what the problem is.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro5,3
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo

Hi MtD,
Yes I am changing the Capture preset to iO4. Once that happens, it lets me run both the camera and the iO4 into the laptop but then an error message pops up the moment I try to capture it.
I was only trying to use 3 out of the 4 channels of the iO4.
Thanks!

USB Audio Interface with bad latency problems under bootcamp

Hi everyone,
I am currently running an Edirol UA-25 USB audio interface under Mac OS X for my normal music-listening needs. Everything works fine, and there is next to no latency when messing around in Garageband .
However, when I switch into bootcamp to use Cubase SX 3 for audio production and sequencing (has all my windows-only VST instruments), the interface pops and crackles extremely. It's almost as if the USB interface is losing sync..?
When I turn the buffer up on the drivers, this stops, but it is annoying as I like to have low latency when recording for direct monitoring.
Can anyone give me any insight into why this might be happening?
I know this is an audiophile-type question, but I thought I might as well give it a go. Or heck, if you wanna direct me somewhere where they might be able to help me!
Cheers!
Chris
P.S. Using a MBP 2.5GHZ 2GB RAM

when you select , lets say the USB device in your audio preferences, it will be used as the input and output device. You can use the USB interface's audio outs plugged into your mixer, and use speakers or the headphone jack. When you create an aggregate device, using the USB device and your built in audio, and choose it in your audio preferences, this allows you to use the inputs and outputs of both the USB interface and your built in audio from your mac. So now you can record from one device while listening back on another. meaning you can record the audio from the USB device and listen back using your Mac speakers or from headphones plugged into your mac.
if you get a better audio interface, one with mic inputs, you will still need to connect it to speakers or plug in headphones to it to hear audio. If you have the budget, a dedicated firewire audio interface will usually give better results, in audio quality, than a behringer mixer and a usb interface.

Audio error with garageband and external usb audio interface

I am using Garageband 2.0.3. under ios 8.0.2 on my iPad 3 and via camera adapter a USB audio interface Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 or a Presonus iTwo.
When I start Garageband, it works well, the audio interfaces are recognized and I can record a track.
As soon as I switch from instrumtent to track view, the audio path is completely disturbed and all I can hear is some noise from the speaker.
Then I have to unplug the usb cable and plug it in again. Then audio works until I switch back to the instrument menu.
When I use the headphone output only there is no problem with Garageband and everything works fine.
Other applications audio applications don't show any error with each of the two audio interfaces.
Any feedback is very much appreciated, thanks.
Harald

I have this exact issue. However, I tried the Loopy app after after GB crashed and received an error message saying that core audio is not available. Rebooting resolves but the problem repeats. Any suggestions as to fixes? Btw; I have no such problem with Ipad 2 and ios 7.

No input using usb audio interface

I recently bought a Tascam US-1641 USB Audio Interface that Im running with logic studio 8. I'm not getting any audio coming through when recording. I have selected the item in preferences but im not getting any input or output.
anyone had similar problems or know where i might have made a stupid error.
David Docherty

Hi
Firstly, sorry for not being able to help as I share the same problem.
I've recently bought a novation nio 2/4 audio interface for logic pro 8.
I have the same problem with getting sound from it. What are you trying to record e.g. instrument?
I also have a usb midi keyboard that I plugged straight in and got sound through logic straight away so I don't know why the audio interface should be much different.
Please let me know if you happen to stumble across an answer as it is driving me crazy!

Recording Skype using Soundflower and usb audio interface as aggregate

I want to record Skype calls.
I installed Soundflower and Audacity records Skype far side audio fine when Soundflower is selected as the input. However, I want to record far side audio PLUS my microphone that runs through my Focusrite Forte usb audio interface (Audacity records my mic just fine with Forte selected as the input).
So I created an aggregate input device in OS 10.9 consisting of the Forte and Soundflower inputs. When I test out the aggregate audio input in the Mac audio settings, I see soundbars from both devices. However, when I choose the aggregate device as the input in Audacity, only the Forte device is recorded (not Skype).
Any ideas as to why only one of the two devices in the aggregate input is being recorded by Audacity?
Did I set up the aggregate incorrectly?
Many thanks!

The people over in the GarageBand forums are amazing at diagnosing and fixing these sorts of things. I recommend that you give it a try posting the question over there:

USB 3.0 audio interface and MIDI controller

I´ve got the Macbook Pro Retina (2012) with only USB 3.0 ports. Today, i learned that no audio interface beneeth xxxx$ is compatible with this standard, and will only work with USB 2.0. I´ve also got Thunderbolt ports, but those audio interfaces are just as expencive and far out of my league. Same goes for MIDI controllers.
Is there any way to come around this problem? There seems to be a lack of information regarding this issue around the internet. I want to buy the Balance audio interface for Propellerheads Reason, but I get the feeling it´s not going to work (at least thats what the guy at the local store told me).
USB 2.0 hubs are also not going to work, as far as I know. Any ideas?

Okay everyone,
As I wasn't able to solve the problem myself, I decided to replace my old interface for a brand new one. The problem clearly was the age of the old interface.
In a particular music store I was allowed to test four individual USB audio interfaces that worked perfectly on both 10.9 and W7.
For those interested, I now use a Roland Quad-Capture (UA-55) which has great preamps!
