No sound with M-Audio Fast Track Ultra

Hi community!
I'm trying to get sound out of my monitors with no luck.
I'm running on an OS X 10.7.5. I'm aware of the issue people are having with the 2013 iMacs, but mine is 2012.
The M-Audio software is reading the sound, and I have my preferences set to the interface but nothing!
Help? Thank you.
(Cables are fine, volumes are up, power is on...)

The Avid company appears to be who acquired M-Audio.

They have a user forum; as I found while looking around
and there was an item relating to FastTrack Ultra drivers*.
So it is possible to ask a question in an appropriate place
and hope that someone there has an adequate reference.
*This discussion pertains to Mavericks, however.

Hopefully you can at least find some answers without
a need to get some product support code for a fee.
Good luck & happy computing!

  • Is Logic Pro X compatible with M Audio Fast Track Ultra ?

    I'm running Logic 8 Pro with M-Audio Fast Track Ultra.
    I'd like to upgrade to Logic Pro X.
    Will these components be compatible?

    If it has a Mountain Lion compatible driver then it should work. (Its not about LPX compatibility.. its about OS X compatibility that matters in almost every case)
    See here for the drivers...
    http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/Fast-Track-Ultra-Drivers
    V2.2.2 is 10.8 compatible however there are several threads in their forums that indicate issues with 10.8.3 and higher...
    Here is an example..
    http://community.m-audio.com/m-audio/topics/driver_for_m_audio_fast_track_ultra_ mac_mountain_lion_10_8_3
    Given that your interface is no longer a supported item..  and Avid have taken over M-Audio.. it might be that there will be no further updates leaving you unfortunately, with an out of date and no longer supported piece of hardware... which frankly is typical of M-Audio...
    As a quick aside... This is why I stick with Motu equipment.. and have done so for many, many years now. Their support both for new and legacy devices is and has always been.. excellent.. and my original Ultralite Mk1 which is at least 7 years old now I believe, is still fully supported in the latest OS X version. using the latest Motu Drivers..
    Anyhow.. Check with M-Audio/Avid to find out if this has been resolved......

  • Trouble hooking up krk rokit 5's with M-Audio Fast track Ultra

    Hey everybody,
    I just picked up a pair of krk rokit 5 monitors and for some reason i am having a really hard time getting sound. i connected the rca into output 1 and 2 on the fast track ultra. I set the FTU as the output and input for logic and in the mac settings. NO SOUND zip nada! I might be doing something wrong so if anyone has any advice or know what to do, lemme know! thanks! I would appreciate it!
    joel

    Hi,
    don't use the RCA. most probably you have mistakenly connected the S/PDIF outputs of the Fast Track to you Rokits. You'll need either a standard TRS 3,5'' connector cable - the plugs look like the standard stereo headphone plugs - not the little ones, but the bigger ones (if-ya-no-wod-i-mean).
    Or you could use a TRS-XLR cable. Either way, you'll need to use the correct outputs on the Fast track, since there are more than one. I'd suggest you use outputs 1 and 2 (for left and right channel).

  • M-AUDIO Fast Track Ultra with Final Cut 7

    I have been using an M-Audio Fast Track Ultra device with Final Cut 6 and could listen to Quicktime 5.1 audio files in the timeline in full surround. Since I installed the Studio 3 upgrade with Final Cut 7 (same OSX version), this is not working anymore. I just have stereo output. When I start my backup version of Final Cut 6, it still work fine.
    Any clue how to fix this in Final Cut 7 ?

    Hi,
    The 5.1 audio preset was already selected in the setting and each of the 6 audio tracks is assign to the proper speaker. It was the same set-up in the v6 but it was working which is not the case in the v7. There might be a new setting somewhere.
    Thanks for trying.

  • M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8r HELP!!

    Hello
    I am in desperate need of assistance.... I have been using M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8r for some months and it has worked perfectly... only today (just when I needed it most) it stopped working when I plugged it in as usual.
    It makes a popping sound and the green and red LEDs along the front panel flash respectively and it will not be found by Logic 9... or anything else for that matter.
    I am running MAC OSX 10.6.6 on a Macbook pro
    2.53 GHz Intel Core Duo
    4GB
    I remember this did actually happen once before but I simply put the original CD in and re loaded the driver from there and it seemed to work... only, that CD fell foul to a toddler and is basically knackered...
    The latest drivers don't seem to be working and I have done everything I can find on here to try and solve it including...
    - Downloading lastest drivers
    - Different leads and ports
    - Downloading latest update combos for snow leopard from apple site, and repairing disc permission in utilities
    - Rebooting holding cmd-alt-P-R which apparently has something to do with resetting RAM
    I am not much of a techie... I just like things to work!
    Any help gratefully received... I can't afford a new interface and I have lots of work to do
    Many thanks
    T

    HI ! I JUST HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM ! I DONT KNOW IF M-AUDIO HAS TO CREATE THE NEW DRIVERS TO WORK WITH OSX 10.6.6 OR IS SOMETHING GOING ON IN OUR COMPUTERS.
    I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP US AT THIS, I REALLY NEED TO GET IT WORK AGAIN ..... ILL APRECIATE ANY HELP ... THANX A LOT !!

  • No Audio when recording through M-Audio Fast Track Ultra USB interface

    Hi,
    I am trying to record my drums using Logic Pro and by obtaining the audio through 4 microphones connected to an M-Audio Fast Track Ultra. Even though the interface is on, installed, registered, and configured in Logic's audio preferences, there is no sound whatsoever. The recording shows that it definitely picked up audio and that the sound levels were moving, but there is no playback. Any advice??
    Thanks.

    Are you using Logic 8 or 9?
    What are you trying to hear Logic's output through?
    If you're expecting audio output through built-in audio, and you're using Logic 9, make sure your Fast Track is set as the input device, and built-in audio is set for the output device (both in Logic's audio preferences)
    However, if you're using Logic 8 or 7, you need to create an aggregate device if you're using built-in output.
    Details here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8813763&#8813763
    OR
    use the FastTrack's audio outputs to drive your monitoring, NOT your built-in audio.

  • M-Audio Fast Track Ultra - not getting any input!

    I have been using M-Audio Fast Track Ultra to do some basic recording in GarageBand '09. I've never had a problem, but today i cannot get an audio signal to input from a mic or instrument. It seems that GarageBand is automatically setting the track recording level to zero and is greying it out. i can no longer control it. The audio OUTPUT works fine and i can use the fast track to monitor, but there is not input. btw, i tried using the built in audio on the MacBook and it works fine. is this a setting issue with Fast Track somehow? can anyone help trouble shoot this issue for me? Thanks!

  • Can I connect my PA to my external audio card M-Audio Fast track Ultra?

    Hello
    I wonder if it's able to connect my PA to my external audio card, _M-Audio fast track ultra so that I can use every input from my PA and use them in logic._
    Any Ideas?
    Best regards Frankensten

    So I should connect 2 guitar wires from the main outs, left and right to some of my audio card inputs and then Logic should recognize the sounds we are playing on the pa?
    That should work.
    Logic wont get any signal from the pa instrument if i don't press the front rear button on the audio card
    That's normal. Those buttons control which jacks are active.
    the sound is very low
    Connect headphones to the headphones jack on the PA and make sure you're hearing a nice loud signal. You could also connect the headphones to the headphones jack on the Ultra, to check for a signal there.
    There are level controls on the front of the Ultra. Try cranking them up. Also, make sure they are pushed in. When you pull them out, you engage a 20dB pad.
    Also, look at the LEDs on the front of the Ultra. Are they glowing green? This means they are getting a signal.
    In my PA there's two Monitors that I would like to use for logic, how would I do that?
    You would connect outputs from your audio interface to inputs on the PA. You could use the channel inputs, or you could use the tape inputs.

    M-Audio is a bit slow getting drivers out but they eventually get it right so take heart... even companies like Focusrite don't have 100% compatible drivers for some of their hardware.
    Not sure if -all- of the recent USB changes were released on time. I'm regularly in touch with a couple of plugin developers and both say Apple is notorious for last minute changes. Don't know if it's true or not.

  • M-audio fast track ultra 8r

    Hi There,
    I've installd the latest m-audio driver (OS X 10.6.4 64-bit) for my new m-audio fast track ultra 8r (USB). Though it appears in my system prefs, it does not appear as an optional input in either my sound system pref or Garageband pref.
    If anyone has had this problem & found a solution, I'd love to hear it.
    Thanks.

    Mine shows up in Garageband, but there is no signal. There is signal coming into the iMac, but no sound when I play in a project. I've made all of teh adjustments to teh inputs and reinstalled the drivers twice. I don't get it!

  • No signal with M-AUDIO Fast Track

    Hello,
    I just got the Logic Pro 8 and I have only used garageband.......I used to be fine with M-AUDIO Fast Track......but now in the logic studio I'm not getting a signal......I went to preference click on fast track as the input source but not even getting the smallest signal........I have no clue what I'm doing wrong.....does fast track even work with logic pro?.....
    Thanks

    I have a FastTrack, and in my experience, it has many issues. The biggest is that it craps out on a regular basis, say every couple hours, or if sleep mode occurs, etc. Then, in order to 'wake it up' again, it requires cycling the power, which in many cases will cause the entire system to hang (no mouse movement, nothing) for about 2-4 minutes! I have the latest drivers for it, and my system is clean. This is simply bad driver code on M-Audio's part I would recommend anyone who is thinking of buying this unit, look elsewhere. Go with MOTU or etc.
    I know that doesn't help much, but it needs to be said...

  • M-Audio Fast Track Ultra

    Why does my computer sometimes crash when I turn on the M-Audio Fast Track Ultra? What can I do to stop it happening?

    You might try updating the driver and firmware. http://www.m-audio.com/news/en_us-1376.html

  • Cannot record any sound with my M-Audio Fast Track Ultra audio interface

    Have been using Logic for about 3 months and was able (primarily via keyboards/midi recording) to create some decent recordings (via the 'hard' way, some books, video training and without bothering a lot of people with many of my questions). Time has come to start with analog audio recording and here my problem starts. Have recently purchased the Fast Track Ultra audio interface from M-Audio.
    Drivers are installed correctly. The device is saying that it functions properly. It gets recognized by my iMAC. It gets recognized in Logic and can enable the device in my audio preferences. I can clearly see in the control panel of my USB audio interface it is creating sound and meters are going up and down.
    I get sound in my head phones (which are connected to the audio interface) but within Logic no sound is coming in while with the build in microphone everything seems to work fine. Have played around all kind of settings in my audio/midi configuration utility but no result.
    Who can help me out ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Jozef.

    Have done a test within Garageband and it works correctly overthere
