I've wasted too much time on this already. I think I'm just going to work around it. I'm just going to always set the volume of the USB input to 100%, then set the trim to -12dB and lower my system volume to 5% so I'm not deafened by Windows notifications and am just going to live with it...

Yeah, I already went into the Global Settings and reduced the trim to -18dB. That doesn't really help as eventually the output is so low that the backing tracks are inaudible when I practice. I just want to be able to leave my volume slider at 40% so that notifications and system sounds aren't deafening when I wakeup the computer, and not raise the volume to 100% to hear anything because I trimmed the input signal too much. I'm not sure what there is to configure. I installed the version 2.00.0.0 ASIO driver and am running HX Edit 3.82 on all 3 computers. The moment the HX Stomp is connected, it becomes the default playback device for all audio, including systems sounds. As an example, I turned on my PC this morning and it blasted system sounds at 100% (I had my monitors turned way down of course). I checked the system tray and the volume slider was set to 40%. I wiggled it and the volume dropped from 100% to 40%. Same behavior as always.

Correct.

Whenever my HX Stomp establishes a connection to any of my computers (a Windows 10 desktop, a Windows 10 laptop, and a Windows 11 laptop), the initial volume of the USB interface is at 100% regardless of what the volume slider indicates. It's jarring and often defeaning. I'm also worried I might blow a speaker. The instant I adjust the volume slider, the volume automatically corrects to whatever it should have been. Is there any way to fix this or is there a workaround? I can obviously mute my monitors everytime, but it's an annoying extra step. I need to mute every time the HX Stomp or computer is power cycled. Invariably, I forget at the most inopprtune times - like people are sleeping. I'm fine doing that when setting up for a gig, but it's not OK for my computer setup where my monitors are otherwise always connected and on. Thanks in advance.

Wow! That was the problem. I was swapping one cable back and forth! It was working all along. Now I know. Thanks!

Yeah, I'm using Split A/B Route to A100. I started with a Mixer block, but that didn't work either. Preset attached. Thanks again! I really appreciate it. TEST.hlx

Sadly, that wasn't it. Any other suggestions?

New HX Stomp owner. I'm trying to build a preset with 3 guitars and 1 keyboard always connected, then ABC the guitars as follows: Path A Main L - Guitar 1 Main R - Guitar 2 Return L - Guitar 3 Output Main L/R Path B Return R - Keyboard Output Send L/R I've gotten everything working except I can't prevent Return L (Path A) from outputing to Path B. It doesn't matter whether I choose Send L, Send R, or Send L/R at the end of Path B. The culprit seems to be Return R at the start of Path B. Despite supposedly only being the R channel, it adds Return L to the mix on Path B - deleting it removes the unwanted signal. It's weird because Return L on Path A works exactly as intended. Perhaps I'm just completely misunderstanding how routing / signal paths work...
