Why is there no sound coming from my krk monitors?!

Post by flagrant disregard » Sun Jan 31, 2016 12:10 pm

They are both switched on (and working fine yesterday by the way) and running through my focusrite 6usb audio interface, on abeltons preferences I've selected the correct audio outputs and inputs, the speakers are working fine as I tested them directly through an audio jack which means the connection between the interface must be problematic. They come up in preferences which leads me to believe that they have made a strong connection but for some reason no sound comes out even through the phones output in the interface! Can anybody help me?

Sometimes i have to jiggle the volume knob on my 2i2 either up or down slightly to get a fresh signal to my KRKs. Try that out

can you plug phones into your interface to see if you have audio coming through?

So you've got no sound coming from the interface at all, not even the headphones?

I would uninstall and reinstall the drivers at least.

Hey it's working now, that was annoying >:( but Mac uses core audio so I guess i didn't need to, I think for some weird reason it worked to just turn it all off for like a day and try and restart it

Thanks
