Audacity with Xone 96 Mixer - No or Very Low Signal in Audacity

[jademan]

Hi there,

As I can see from the above thread there’s issues with Audacity pairing up with a Xone 96 mixer. I’m I right in saying it won’t work In any situation? I’m a vinyl DJ and have used Audacity for a very long time, I have the same issues as above but I’m not running Traktor etc, is it a lost cause? I can obviously still use it through my external audio interface but that kind of defeats the purpose of having two built in sound cards in the mixer.

Any help appreciated.

The Xone manual says, “Microsoft Windows® PC: In order to access the soundcard channels on your XONE:96 you will need to install the dedicated, ASIO* compatible, Device Drivers, which can be downloaded from the Allen & Heath website”.

For licensing reasons, Audacity does not ship with ASIO included. It is however available for free. All you have to do is compile your own private version of Audacity. See here: ASIO support in Audacity 2.4.2 - #13 by jademan

I hope this helps.
