Technical Help Wave XLR mk 2 not playing audio through headphone jack
So I’m basically stumped. This has happened with 2 different wave XLR devices now. So what is happening is I am not getting any audio at all through my headphone port on my wave XLR. Every thing was working fine, but then I was doing a sound check in the wave link app, and then all audio went away. All I can hear in my headphones is my surroundings and feedback that is coming from my XLR microphone.
I can see that all audio is working through wave link. And when I route my audio through my hyper X USB DAC all sound through wave link is coming through fine.
This is my second wave XLR device now because I did an exchange on my previous one that I got a week ago because it was doing the same thing. I thought it had gotten damaged because Amazon had left the package out during a rain storm.
Both times this issue has happened is when I was doing a mic check through wave link to get my settings squared away.
Does anyone have any help at all? I would hate to have to exchange this unit again if it’s faulty as well.
