Behringer UCA 202 Issues

Post by cnew's » Sun Dec 18, 2011 12:00 pm

Hi

I am new to this forum and I am having problems with the above.

I recently purchased a new computer and installer audaciy beta and tried to record a mix from my decks last night using the UCA202. I did everything I did with my previous laptop and the sound quality was awaful. I have tried a few things this morning and if Iisted to the sound input through headphones attached to the UCA 202 then the sound quality is perfect, but if I stop recording and play back then it sound poor i.e too much bass, mid, high etc. I have turned the gains right down and the bass to zero and it sounds ok but I never had to do this with my previous laptop and I could leave the gains at a normal level.

I am not a expert with audaicty so anyone's advice would be appreciated

Many thanks

Chris

Laptop, right?

Switched to "Monitor," right?
You're not recording the UCA202. On a guess, I'd say you were recording either the built-in microphone or Mix-Out. Both of those will give you terrible sounding music.

Reset in Windows Control Panels.

Hi Koz

Ive sorted the problem, the line in volume was set to the max, so I ensured that the UCA device was selected and changed the line in volume to a lower level and the quality is so much better.

Thank you for your advice.
