Sound Problem

As you already know I am new to this, so this is prob a stupid question.

When I open Cubase 5 and am working on a project and then want to look at a video tutorial from Sonic Acadamy the sound in the video wont work.

The sound will work in Cubase fine, but if I want to get a tip from the SA video there is no sound from it.

Any ideas as to what setting I might have to change etc?

Thanks for any tips :hehe:

It may help if you tell us what platform your using aswell as soundcard and drivers



Personally on my setup using a PC I can only have sound from either my DAW or Internet ie YT or tuts at the same time, I use ASIO drivers - personally it does not bother me as I stream from my laptop and not bothered to see if I could do anything different

Ok I am just using my laptop at the minute hooked up to a 27" monitor via HDMI cable. As for drivers I have no idea and I am using the sound card in my laptop. I have ordered a new external sound card, so maybe this might help when it arrives.

This is a guess but if you hook up the external to an amp and then HDMI too the telly that may work

go to control panel and be sure that the correct. interface is selected.

I have this problem using windows 7.

I have to set my soundcard in Abelton to the default windows one and not my asio drivers so both IE & Ableton can use the same sounddevice.

Highly annoying, but it’s a prblem with Windows 7 not being abel to use two drivers at once for the same dvice.

you could try pluging the output of your built in card in to the input of your proper sound card.



if you dont have a proper on with good asio drivers you should get one.

Thanks Phil. That was my problem I was just using my computers sound card. I bought an external sound card and set it up. It works a treat now :smiley:

for future reference, head to the device menu - device setup and from the audio section select your built in output as the sound card output.



if you still cannot hear anything go to the device menu and vst connections, then select output 1 and 2 and make sure they are routed to you built in output 1 and 2.



your problems should all be solved and the world will be a better place to live
