Windows 7 no sound?

hi,



i use a motu ultra lite mk3 with windows 7, oddly enough after a producing session ableton plays fine (sound wise) but any of the windows sounds, winamp etc. won’t play… I’ve looked at all the settings and it’s registering the sound but just not coming out, yet ableton is still pumping… has anyone come across this?

I have this problem as well. I have to set abelton to directx or whatever the internal windows device is as Win 7 doens’t like two audio devices.

when i’m done i just switch the device back.

It’s a pretty well known problem. 

I used to have this problem on Windows XP & win 7 when I had an m-audio fast track pro.



when I switched to my focusrite saphire pro the problem disappeared.


weird as this is the first time this has happened and i only have the external connected,



thanks for the advice!

it’s a common thing to happen with ASIO drivers. There’s a little control panel that you can play with that sometimes fixes this, but often I have to shut down the app to get anything else working

try opening the setting app (not the cue mix dsp if you have that one, the other one) before opening any other audio programs i.e ableton, winamp, windows media.

i have the 2048mk3 and had an issue where my pc didnt recognise the 2408 unless i opened the motu setting software first 

thanks, sorted it now, for some reason my sound was trying to go out through my access virus driver! very odd
