Peavey FX16 USB RECORDING

Special Interest Groups Recording Equipment

I purchased a new Peavey FX16, mostly because of the accessible recording features. I heard many people were using Audacity to find the device and record from it, but I can’t get it to find the device. I’m running vista home(32 bit).

I disabled my regular sound card(I had always used an M-Audio USB interface that works fine), and hooked up the peavey mixer. It shows up as “Peavey Mixer” in device manager. Then I opened Audacity, and no device shows up in the the preferences tab. What am I doing wrong?

Maybe nothing. What version of Audacity? What operating system?

It’s Vista Home(32-Bit). 3.2ghz2GB RAM350GB HD
I tried both the stable and beta versions of Audacity. Currently I’m running beta version(1.3.7)
I tried the other version first. With this version, it won’t even open when the mixer is plugged in.
It only works when I divert back to my regular sound card.

You need to go into the Vista Control Panel and enable the Peavey FX16 in the audio section.
