Unable to open playback device

Post by Jakeyvimto »

Hi,
I've been using the same interface since I bought Mixcraft in December, now I keep getting messages that Mixcraft cannot open playback device. The device is still working fine, nothing has changed, can you give me any idea of things to try here to fix this?

Switch to ASIO mode and select the UMC options. Then make sure the settings in Windows sound are the same as what you have set up for interface, ie. 24bit, 48000 Sample and 512 buffer is a good start.

Thanks!

Weirdly, when I switch to ASIO, my interface is showing up?

Check to see if you have correct and/or latest drivers. I think I've heard that Behringer has had issues in the past with I/O software and drivers. Make sure Windows has the interface set as default device.

Success!

Driver update did the trick.

Thank you for your help!

Glad it worked out, sometimes when Windows does an update it can mess with audio settings.
