Recording from a Xio Synth

[johnnyhamster]

Trying to help out my 13 year ols son here ..
He's been fiddling with Audacity for a while and knows his way round quite well, likewise a Novation Xio (using in synth mode not as a midi controller) but we can't get Audacity to record from it over USB. He's got v 1.2.6 loaded on XP pro
Recording / Output device options in Audacity are showing as Microsoft sound mapper Input : MME Realtek audio Input : Xio.

Any Xio users out there who might have an idea where we're going wrong. Can supply more info if required. i've suggested making up a couple of leads to connect the Line Out sockets on the Xio into the sound card, but that would mean a trip into town. He claims it was working on our previous PC over USB but I honestly can't remember. i've had it working on the Ableton Lite that came with the synth, but he prefers to use Audacity.

cheers

You could try Audacity 1.3.7 and see if you have more success with that. (hardware support is somewhat more advanced in Audacity 1.3.7)

A bit late now, but there's been a similar problem reported here: http://audacityteam.org/forum/viewtopic ... 12&t=10647
It looks like Ableton Live can cause problems running Audacity on the Novation Xio
