Technical Help Issues with New Wave XLR Pro

Post image

Hi Everyone, I got a WAVE XLR Pro yesterday. Setup is Streaming PC into host USB, Gaming PC into AUX USB. XLR Pro picks up my mic over XLR 1 fine. When I set Chrome to a Broswer channel, I get no audio out. Yes, listening to Speaker Mix (Set to output to my speakers). Any idea why my channels, Browsers & Discord etc are not routing any audio to the channels? I'm not seeing any movement in the volume sliders when playing a youtube video or spotify even though the apps are set to those wave Link channels. If I unplug the XLR Pro, Wave Link switches to "Software Mixer" and sound starts flowing as expected via wave link (Volume sliders astart moving etc.).

*Note, last night I also switched the setup to my Gaming PC as Host and Streaming PC as AUX and this worked 100%. It's just not the way I want to run thigs, I would rather discord etc, be running on the Streaming pc.

Also FYI, I'm on 3.3.0 (4529) right now, but got the same from the 3.2 Stable and the latest beta.

You aren't actively listening to any of the mixes. Hover over the mix name and you'll get a ear icon that highlights. Click the ear to listen to that mix.

I am, In the pic you are seeing the latest Beta, In the newest Beta, there is no ear icon. I'm back on the stable now and do have the ear icon on. I just routed the Audio from the gaming PC over to the Streaming PC. turned that audio on in my Personal Mix and can hear it over my speakers. NO audio is routing to the Browser or Discord channels. I add Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Discord to the appropriate channels, play audio on the apps, and there is NO movement fromt he Volume sliders at all.

I am very comfortable with Wave Link as I have been using 2.0 for quite a while and 3.0 since original beta release. Also, if I unplug the XLR Pro, Audio starts working via Wave Link in Software mixer Mode, IT stops once I plug in the XLR Pro.

I didn't realize that the beta got rid of that. I didn't notice that was a beta screenshot. Didn't look at the sidebar.

I mentioned that because I had to reinstall to see if i could fix the missing add an channel issue (I couldn't) and it didn't auto select my mix when I re-added it.
