ba88ist Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Hello! I just bought the board and am mostly happy so far.... Little issue though... I can't seem to get audio from my iMac to stream to the mixer. No sign of any level meters responding to the stream. So far have tried the following: - Installed appropriate latest drivers for Mac - Updated the M20d's firmware. - In "Setup" mode, selected Laptop Icon and it shows inputs 17/18 as support literature states. - Adjusted associated faders and mains. - Connected the supplied USB cable between mixer and computer - Selected the StageScape M20d as the audio output device in preferences. - Verified the music is playing and it will play fine on my other interface (Presonus Firestudio Tube). Any Ideas ? Ba88ist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllisF5 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Use an analog connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ba88ist Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 So Are you saying that the mixer cannot accept music streaming via the PC Connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_Auricchio Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 It should work. From the user guide, page 4-8 where USB streaming is described: "Note: In order to hear the stereo return, a Stage Icon Preset must be assigned to the Aux Input using the M20d touchscreen UI. The Laptop preset is ideally suited for this purpose, and can be found in the Stage Icon Gallery." It seems you've done that. I'd check all assignments and faders again...even walk away for a while and come back to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ba88ist Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 Thanks Rick, After a good nights sleep I'm back at it . The Laptop icon defaults to inputs 17/18 and shows in the UI that its using the "AUX IN" but I have nothing plugged into "AUX IN", rather I am trying to use the input Labelled "PC" However there is no input in the UI Labelled "PC". Its a little confusing because my mac shows the mixer as a valid audio output device?? Could it be that Line 6 is confusing "USB Streaming" with A computer's analogue "Stereo Output" jack? because that method certainly works.

ba88ist Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 Just talked to a fellow owner here in town: He says he "got lucky one time" after rebooting several times the PC connection worked but 3 second playback latency so he abandoned the idea and went to audio cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_Auricchio Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 The manual says 17/18 will show as Aux In, so that seems normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
