I've started recording on Audacity with Behringer UM2 interface. I previously used the ASIO driver and encountered some issues, and I'm now using a Behringer driver I found through a Youtube video. When I try to record a second track I receive the error -9999 message, and the only way I fix this is by turning off "overdub", but now I am unable to hear the first track. I have restarted my computer but this doesn't fix the issue.
Are their any other solutions? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Error 9999, can't record 2nd tracks
I don't know what the problem is but Audacity is not an ASIO application* so that's not the issue. And, I'm pretty sure the Behringer interface is supposed to be plug-and-play with the Microsoft-supplied drivers that come with Windows.
ASIO4ALL is an "adapter driver" that allows regular windows hardware to work with ASIO applications.
*If you are a programmer Audacity can be compiled with ASIO support but it can't be distributed with ASIO support because that would require a licensing fee. And your interface doesn't have true ASIO drivers anyway...

Re: Error 9999, can't record 2nd tracks
When you are overdubbing, it is important that the track you are playing and are recording are at the same clock rate; otherwise you are going to have problems. Double-check Audacity's sample rate in the lower left-hand corner with that of Windows: R-click: [speaker icon] > Sounds > Recording > [Behringer UM2] > Properties > Advanced > Default Format. Repeat this for your playback device. These must match your UM2. (I believe Behringer is usually 48000Hz).guitarec wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 2:57 amI've started recording on Audacity with Behringer UM2 interface.
