Hi,
I'm new here and I need some help with my equipment. Perhaps you know how to deal with it. I've tried diffrent ways to solve this, but with no result. So.. necessity brought me here.
Lexicon interface is not working properly, when using its input and output at the same time. In Audacity, I can't even play a song from my media player during record process, or hear backtrack that I've put into program. Every soundtrack played simultaneously, becomes a terrible noise. It happens to other system sounds too(Win7).
What else - using Alpha with Skype or ooVoo has similar result. When IN's and OUT's are set on Lexicon, my microphone works very silently. While conversation, every sound becomes a noise again.
When I set my notebook microphone on input, things come back to normal.
Also, setting output on notebook headphones/speaker helps mi with Audacity to avoid noises when I record guitar from my mic connected to interface.
I would be happy if someone helps me, it's really annoying problem.
Is it Alpha USB's fault? (I've got newest drivers from Lexicon's website) Or it's only settings issue?
Many Thanks,
Vestel.
EDIT:
I've managed to solve the noise problem. It was caused by the marked exclusivity button in audio settings. Inputs/outputs were allowed to one program only. They seemed to argue with each other for signal. Now it's working fine but I have one issue left.
In Skype, my mic is still too quiet to use in calls. In Audacity though, it works fine and volume level is good. Settings in Skype are maxed out of course and I don't know how to improve sound to normal loudness as in Auda.
Any ideas?
