i've disabled all the devices and restarted and still have an error. I downloaded the asio4all again and still getting the error. Is it not compatible with Windows 10?
Very helpful. I've installed ASIO4ALL on Pro Tools First on WIndows 10 with RealTek HD Audio with current driver. But Default Output is greyed out for me the HD Audio Outpit option. As a result I still have no sound. Any tip for enabling Audio Output?
It should be noted that for example projects to work, or maybe to make any sound in pro tools you need the Xpand!2 instrument, I thought it wasn't included in the free version, and was getting worried about asio support for my sound card, so installing the FREE plugin from within pro tools solved the final problems :)
Outstanding! I just upgraded to Windows 10 as well and I installed ProTools First but was getting this error. I have an M-Audio Fast Track device but I wanted to go with a simpler set up. Now I just have my tablet, PC speakers, and a Blue Yeti microphone. Thanks so much for posting this.
BenonStudio, after clicking playback engine to select asio4all v2, i fount the deafault output option is disabled, plz help ke out how to handle such problum
How do you send the audio to headphones?? I’ve been playing around with it for hours and can’t figure it out and now protools won’t even “play” the tracks let alone make any sound
If you are running PTF in win 10 right click on the "shortcut" icon, scroll down and click on "properties", click on the "compatibility" tab and change to "Windows 8". Solved my start up and hang up problems.
Asus xonar dx2; asio4all was recommended as possible solution: can asio4all "designate/route" specific frequency bands of the audio signal to specific outputs? Example: for an active crossover function - front stereo output to midrange amplifier... rear outputs (stereo) to HF ("tweeters") amplifier... sub output to LF ("woofers") amplifier... this is not for a "surround" system... it is for stereo, with dedicated amplifiers, for each speaker driver.
thanks for the tutorial but I still have an issue, everything works fine except my headphones, neither the plug-in headphones nor the Bluetooth works with ProTools only the computer's speakers, what can I do? I when to settings to see if I can change anything but nothing works, I have windows 11 brand new computer. I prefer to use my headphones over the computer speaker what can I do? tks
I'm using the M-Audio Interface with my windows 10 comp and its connected but when I try open pro tools it says "the selected asio audio device could not be initialized". I have the ASIO v2 app and I've tried using all the different sample rates and buffer sizes and it still wont open, how do I fix this? thanks
Hey, your video really helped me, but now something weird happened. I could perfectly record and listen my audio, but after a day i tried to listen to the audio again without the interface (because i unplugged my mic) and i couldn’t hear anything. Then i connected my interface with my mic again, so maybe i could listen with headphones but there was still no sound. I do see the soundwaves tho. I also reinstalled ASIO4all, but it didn’t change. Even tho i can see on the ASIOpanel and the playback engine that my Rhode interface is connected, it doesn’t work. On the playback engine i can’t change the default output... it’s grey. I don’t really get it, do you have any idea how to fix it?
What is the software you are using to record screen. Because i have a problem with recording pro tools 12 but there is no sound i was trying many software but problems still not solved for me. Did you record the sound from another daw or routing mixer
I recently purchased the base protools for school. I’m just wondering if you would know how to address a Error 108 not enough memory issue in attempting to launch the software?
ASIO4ALL is the only engine selected. I'm not even given a drop down menu to select. I still have no sound in ProTools. Sound will play through youtube and whatever else, but no ProTools. I need help.
Checking, I don't need Asio- However I use Elevenrack and get "CPU usage is holding off USB audio.Removing some plug-ins, delete some tracks, or increase the H/W Buffer Size* in Playback Engine dialog. (AES -6104)" I have nine plugins on 1AUX and nothing else, two audio mono tracksL/R with no P-Ins on either, each strait track is sent to the aux. aux send to ONE stereo mix track. All said and done I have THREE , tracks two mono to 1 stereo, and One mono aux, and mix track output to the stereo Main Out; H/W Buffer is increased/highest provided by PT size1024. I have no tracks to delete, and am not using sets of plug-ins on several separate tracks then mixing additional plug-ins on separate mix tracks, i am well within the minimal of recomended preferences with maximum 32gigmem/3.5 GHz/quad core i7 (8 cores split and recognized by protools as core 8/mac, terabytes of separate storage on passport, thru thunderbolt up to 20 times faster send/return than usb 3.0. PT11 software that is supposed to be more efficient than PT10 i think. Is there something i'm missing. The machine and IOS is Protools recomended, compatable, Yet this erreo stops everything in the middle of any I'm doing 90% of the time . Do you know of any Fix?
could be some plugin bug. you may try taking each plugin out and inserting them one at a time and see if there is one that is causing a problem. It does sound like that machine should be able to handle that load no problem. Are you running a supported OS?
Thanx for getting back so quick. The specific OS for PT to work on that machine is LION 10.8.5 PT recomended as compatable with ProTools. I checked protools b4 i bought the specific machine iMac intel 2013,i7, 4096 graphics780M. compatable for PT 10/11.3 is the 3.5 Ghz,4/8mem, os10.8.5 lion
I don't know man. You could try the basics of trashing your preferences. Make sure your plugins are up to date. Make sure your driver for your interface is up to date, ect... I'm more of a Windows guy, so you may find better help on the DUC in the MAC section duc.avid.com/forumdisplay.php?f=92
I have windows 8.1 and running the program on window 8. It still turns on errors message even with the N key pressed down on load up. Does windows 10 work better without problems?
Yes. I have my main focus rite audio interface with my PC and I'm also trying to incorporate my Elevenrack to use with ProTools 12. It is to my understanding that windows only allows one audio interface at a time whereas Macs can run multiple. I have to keep switching interfaces using playback engine to record properly with Elevenrack then switch back to my focusrite to monitor as well as use that audio in for my other audio instruments.
+valdon116 If you are connected to a different interface then you need to run cables from the Eleven Rack to the interface you want to use. Mac's can use more than one interface through a process called Aggregate, but that can have issues as well.
That's what I've been doing but it would be easier to just get a Mac so I can use both. Thanks for the reply and thanks for the vids, they really helped me out.
i have the same issue, when the "pro tools" splash/loading screen comes up, hold N and you can select the engine before it loads, and it won't crash this way
Can you tell my why at 2:28 setup is pressed and playback engine is displayed, but toward the end set up is pressed and there is a new "Hardware" option above Playback engine? And if I lose this option can I get it back?
That worked for me until the point of selecting ASIO4all but then it doesn't give me output when i switch it to that as the playback. and when selecting Windows it does give me the input option but it says "none" only as an option. Can you please assist?
Hey, dude! I need your help! I've instaled "ASIO4ALL" but when I'm pressing "N" during PT starting nothing happens and the message appears again. I got a "Behringer u-Phoria UM2", maybe this information can help to clarify my situation! Thanks a lot :)
2:42 is where I have a problem. My output says :" default output = my interface". It's not letting me change that to headphone/speaker. It's grey and not clickable like yours. I need help.
hey. thanks for uploading this video. when I try to start pro tools, i sign in, and then it starts loading stuff. in the middle of loading, there is a pop up window that says "error while trying to load personality controller EUCON". What does this mean? Also, whenever I start pro tools, it does something to my audio. i can hear fine in pro tools, but after I quit pro tools, i cant hear audio in any other application. i have to unplug and replug my headset to hear again.
Hi man, thanks for the help on this, a really handy tutorial, But sadly, still having this problem after using ASIO4all :( W10 home and using a USB DAC (the Fiio D10) along with a Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 and with these unplugged, only default Realtec set as default - still no joy :( Have anything you can recommend or check?
With Cubase there was an option that read "release audio driver when application is in background" which enabled me to wacht tutorial videos without having to close down pro tools. Any idea how to do this in Pro Tools?
I downloaded ASIO4All and I’m not getting any errors using my PT first and all the options from the video are there but I still can’t hear the sound and I’m not sure what’s wrong I’m using Windows 10 home and I have it exactly how you have it on the video but still no sound ???? What do I do ?? Somebody please help
I've been trying to figure out why my Input setting isn't working for days.... SOLUTION! when I installed AISO 4 all I didn't install the "re-wire" device... I re-installed it with the re-wire.. works like charm
I downloaded asio4all and restarted my laptop and its still giving me the error message so i tried holding n as pt is starting up but nothing happens any suggestions?
I don’t have any error messages I just don’t have sound or more like the sound is so low I can barely hear it what does that mean? I am thinking maybe this program is too difficult to use. Doesn’t seem very user friendly
Hi there I have M-Box 3g and already installed pro tools 9.0. Once I start pro tools appears me this error then a screen where I suppose to change playback engine but only appears as current engine one option which is " ASIO multimedia Preferences, and cannot continue opening protools. I have to press quit . Do i have to reinstall? Thanks for assistance
I have a question my issue is with pro tools 12 wins 10 it worked until a windows update man cant get audio to stay coming from the headset it goes back to the windows interface
I have a question: When you using ASIO4ALL, does it effect the sound quality in the project and when you bounce:ing out the project as well? i mean, does it using the onboard card or if you have a pcie card by standard?
I have a Steinberg ur22 audio interface I was using for Cubase on my old MacBook. I now have windows and am trying to use it with Pro Tools First. ( I want to see how pro tools is before I purchase it)
+BenoniStudio Thanks very much! I haven't done any mastering in over 10 years and was using Acid. The interface wasn't bad, but I was never very happy with the sonic results. Blessings!
I am using the ASIO4ALL driver and also using a focusrite interface but I have it unplugged on load up of program so the the software will load. Even with the driver and interface plugged in correctly the Pro tools First software can't find audio device.
does this help ua-cam.com/video/d2a3kTqM0y8/v-deo.html There have been problems with the focusrite, do you have the correct drivers? support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/209125545-Using-Scarlett-2nd-Gen-with-Pro-Tools-First-Windows-Only
hi dear, in my windows 10 (64 bits), my pro tool 12 don´t wake up when i minimize the pro tools windows, i heard that a uptade can fix it, could your clear me? so thanks!
Hi, I had already installed Asio4all v2 and didn´t have this problem. But, after a little of work, the sound of the pro tools starts gets distorted, and sometimes it shows a message of "run out of memory" or similar. Can you help me with some configuration? I have W10 4GB Ram, Pro Tools HD, and Asio4all v2 (software). Thanks!!
The error is telling you the problem, low ram. Try adding more ram to your computer, or reduce the load within Pro Tools by bouncing your VI's to audio.
How do you adjust your gain as you would do with an interface device? BTW, I have an Mbox 3 and it won't power up anymore. It gets power from a USB port. Has anyone else who uses an Mbox had this problem? Of course it's out of warranty and repairs would probably cost more than a new interface. I'm thinking of getting a Focusrite Scarlett, 2 input interface. Does anyone use a Focusrite and what are your opinions? Thankfully I kept my Mbox Mini and it still works but not as well as the Mbox 3. If anyone has any suggestions for an interface other than the Focusrite (in the same price-range) I'd appreciate your sharing it. I miss my Mbox 3.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP Im using windows 7 with Pro Tools First. Every time i try to save a project it says "some tracks have not been uploaded to the cloud"??? I read somewhere that it might have something to do with my windows firewall settings??
I keep having the same issue I have an Intel® Core i7-6500U PC (last generation) and 16GB Dual Channel DDR3L 1600MHz (8GBx2) I am Windows 10 as OS (like in the visdepyou present) My audio interface is a Line 6 Toneport UX2. I have installed the latest drivers for my Interface, and ASIO4ALL before reinstalling ProTools First Nothing changes even when following the instructions provided by AVID or shown in your tutoriazl (N key, ...). I keep receiving the DAE 6117 error message (by the way what is the difference between AAE and DAE?) Any clue?
+philpf Pro Tools First is pretty picky. You might want to try a reinstall of the latest version. Windows 10 is not supported, but I haven't had a problem with it. DAE is the old audio engine "Digidesign Audio Engine" and AAE is the new audio engine introduced in Pro Tools 11 "Avid Audio Engine" You might want to uninstall ASIO4ALL and just use the ASIO drivers for the Toneport. See if that works.
+BenoniStudio Found the trick on another forum. Might be of help. You need to disable everything under windows audio devices (Playback and Input). Then you can launch PTF using the N key and choose your favourite ASIO device !!!
Fezzler61 Yes it is Windows 10. No, Windows 10 is NOT qualified by Avid just yet. I like to be on the bleeding edge so I can find any bugs that may effect people. So far it's been fine, but it's not qualified so you will be on your own for troubleshooting. You can check this page from time to time to see when Avid qualifies Windows 10 avid.force.com/pkb/articles/compatibility/Windows-10-support-for-Media-Composer-Pro-Tools-Sibelius-EUCON-and-ISIS Thanks for watching.
Thank you. I watch all your PT and 11R videos. The one on using SPDIF for reamping was great. Hey, any way to set-up use a foot pedal to punch in/out of PT12?
When you install ASIO4ALL is automatically sets itself as the main sound source for Windows. Just click your speaker icon in the tray and choose a different output. Simple.
OMG!! Does Pro Tools First run on Windows 10? Because the pro tools website said that it needed Windows 7 or 8.1. Please Answer My Question!! Nice Vid :)
brotha man I just downloaded pro tools first to try out the system and I downloaded aiso4all cause pro tools would not start up. now that it starts up it wont play back sound and I cant figure out why. if you have an idea please help
+Raymond Bowles Make sure you have ASIO4ALL set as the "interface" for Pro Tools in the SETUP menu. Make sure your outputs are set correctly on your tracks.
Um... with Pro Tools SE I believe you are required to use a qualified M-Audio interface. Pro Tools SE is outdated anyway. Have you check out Pro Tools | First www.avid.com/pro-tools-first
You'll have to check the options in ASIO4ALL and make sure it is setup right for your your interface or computer audio if you are using the internal sound system. Also, default the IO in Pro Tools
where can i see that the setup is right for my interface or computer audio, also i am using headphones right now which work via USB but i also tried plugging my speakers directly into the computer but i still wasnt getting any sound
It could be so many things. Did you route the sound correctly in ASIO4ALL? Did you check you Windows sound sources to make sure they are enabled? Try switching the sample rate.
+Brian Zellmer Pro Tools requires it's own soundcard. Thats why an audio interface is recommended. So while Pro Tools is running, ONLY Pro Tools is using that soundcard. Pro Tools just needs it's own thing.
Hi, thank you for the video! I know this isn't a Q & A forum, but I am using a cheap audio interface which I was hoping to be able to record with Pro Tools 12. It's a Behringer Xenyx 302 USB audio interface and - I was hoping that by installing ASIO4ALL - that Pro Tools would allow me to record with this... but to no avail. ... Have you any advice on that, or have I got to just throw away the Behringer and start saving for an Mbox? If anyone could be help I would obviously be very grateful! Thank you :)
+JACKjmDAVY Have you tried installing the ASIO driver for the Xenyx 302? I have no experience with that interface, but making sure the ASIO driver is installed would be the first step for any interface on Windows with Pro Tools.
I can't start this software without ASIO4ALL ¬¬ If I try to check Windows Devices it shuts down and return to the error. It says that my USB microphone is NOT connected =\ Could you help me ? I Just want to bring some BEAT then record my voice as playback and do something.. (Audacity latency F* me)
Holding down the "N" key at Pro Tools startup for list of drivers did the trick for me! Thank you! 👏
Years on and I'm still using this tutorial for help! Thank You so much
i've disabled all the devices and restarted and still have an error. I downloaded the asio4all again and still getting the error. Is it not compatible with Windows 10?

If you are running PTF in win 10 right click on the "shortcut" icon, scroll down and click on "properties", click on the "compatibility" tab and change to "Windows 8". Solved my start up and hang up problems.
When I go to my hardware part and open Asio it shows my mic as unavailable but mic is working fine when I exit protools can u help
what mic? XLR, USB? USB mics can be tough to use in Pro Tools. If your mic has an ASIO driver, use that instead of ASIO4ALL.
I've tried everything it won't playback out of my speakers. The only output device is [Not Connected Stereo 1-2]
Did you fix this problem I am having similar issues
@@Updog1255 did you fix this? I'm also currently having this issue

Pro tools is so trash I went through this with multiple versions every time a new windows came out

Are the drivers for the Mbox installed? Have you tried disabling all other sound interfaces in Windows?
Yes I did, i wll try installing Asio4all. Thanks
I have a question my issue is with pro tools 12 wins 10 it worked until a windows update man cant get audio to stay coming from the headset it goes back to the windows interface
I have a question:
When you using ASIO4ALL, does it effect the sound quality in the project and when you bounce:ing out the project as well?
i mean, does it using the onboard card or if you have a pcie card by standard?
No, it won't effect the sound quality.
I have a Steinberg ur22 audio interface I was using for Cubase on my old MacBook. I now have windows and am trying to use it with Pro Tools First. ( I want to see how pro tools is before I purchase it)
Be sure to install the driver for the interface and it should work. www.steinberg.net/en/support/downloads_hardware/yamaha_steinberg_usb_driver.html
hi why one speaker is ok but computers other speaker is not ok after i installed ASIO4ALL?
This video was very helpful!
Exxcellent!!! It worked perfect in my notebook! Thank you!!!!
Doesn't work for me, nothing happens when I press the "N" key on start up
if we use asio4all, we enable the track record then we can't hear the static sound is that right?
Any Idea how to get a Projectmix I/O to play w/PT12??? Thx
Nice tutorial! If I may, can you open existing wave files and add them to a project in Protools First? Thanks!
Yeah you should be able to use any audio files that are compatible, loops and such.
+BenoniStudio Thanks very much! I haven't done any mastering in over 10 years and was using Acid. The interface wasn't bad, but I was never very happy with the sonic results. Blessings!
I'm having issues with getting my 002 console to work with pro tools 12! do you know what drives I need? It would be a big help! thanks so much
+keith reed (5flamebeats) all the Avid drivers can be found at www.avid.com/drivers the 002 is no longer supported, so your results will vary.
audio device is not supported what does it mean i also installed aso4all
I am using the ASIO4ALL driver and also using a focusrite interface but I have it unplugged on load up of program so the the software will load. Even with the driver and interface plugged in correctly the Pro tools First software can't find audio device.
does this help ua-cam.com/video/d2a3kTqM0y8/v-deo.html
There have been problems with the focusrite, do you have the correct drivers?
support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/209125545-Using-Scarlett-2nd-Gen-with-Pro-Tools-First-Windows-Only
I got the software to open. Just working on changing the buffer for the Focusrite interface. Thank you very much.
Thanks for Saving the Day!! ;)
+Edgar Perdomo awesome. thanks for watching
hi dear, in my windows 10 (64 bits), my pro tool 12 don´t wake up when i minimize the pro tools windows, i heard that a uptade can fix it, could your clear me? so thanks!
Hi, I had already installed Asio4all v2 and didn´t have this problem. But, after a little of work, the sound of the pro tools starts gets distorted, and sometimes it shows a message of "run out of memory" or similar. Can you help me with some configuration? I have W10 4GB Ram, Pro Tools HD, and Asio4all v2 (software). Thanks!!
The error is telling you the problem, low ram. Try adding more ram to your computer, or reduce the load within Pro Tools by bouncing your VI's to audio.
you may want to try increasing the buffer too.
this Pro tools Work With Windows 7? or just with windows 8?
+Ceskyboy Tv It works with Windows 7
wooouu! thank you dude!
Hey, I installed ASIO4 all and restart. But then when i launch PT First , It says, " Driver is being operated by other software "
You may need to check your settings. Mess around with your sample rate for Windows and Pro Tools.
How do you adjust your gain as you would do with an interface device? BTW, I have an Mbox 3 and it won't power up anymore. It gets power from a USB port. Has anyone else who uses an Mbox had this problem? Of course it's out of warranty and repairs would probably cost more than a new interface. I'm thinking of getting a Focusrite Scarlett, 2 input interface. Does anyone use a Focusrite and what are your opinions? Thankfully I kept my Mbox Mini and it still works but not as well as the Mbox 3. If anyone has any suggestions for an interface other than the Focusrite (in the same price-range) I'd appreciate your sharing it. I miss my Mbox 3.
I downloaded asio4all i downloaded pro tools first and its still not working with the n key
+sam adlam not sure bro, i'd reinstall PT|First
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP
Im using windows 7 with Pro Tools First.
Every time i try to save a project it says "some tracks have not been uploaded to the cloud"??? I read somewhere that it might have something to do with my windows firewall settings??
I keep having the same issue
I have an Intel® Core i7-6500U PC (last generation) and 16GB Dual Channel DDR3L 1600MHz (8GBx2)
I am Windows 10 as OS (like in the visdepyou present)
My audio interface is a Line 6 Toneport UX2.
I have installed the latest drivers for my Interface, and ASIO4ALL before reinstalling ProTools First
Nothing changes even when following the instructions provided by AVID or shown in your tutoriazl (N key, ...). I keep receiving the DAE 6117 error message (by the way what
is the difference between AAE and DAE?)
Any clue?
+philpf Pro Tools First is pretty picky. You might want to try a reinstall of the latest version. Windows 10 is not supported, but I haven't had a problem with it. DAE is the old audio engine "Digidesign Audio Engine" and AAE is the new audio engine introduced in Pro Tools 11 "Avid Audio Engine"
You might want to uninstall ASIO4ALL and just use the ASIO drivers for the Toneport. See if that works.
+BenoniStudio Thanks. Tried everything as suggested but does not work. Still receiving the same error message
+BenoniStudio Found the trick on another forum. Might be of help. You need to disable everything under windows audio devices (Playback and Input). Then you can launch PTF using the N key and choose your favourite ASIO device !!!
Was that Windows 10? Is Pro Tools 12 certifies by Avid for Windows 10?
Fezzler61 Yes it is Windows 10. No, Windows 10 is NOT qualified by Avid just yet. I like to be on the bleeding edge so I can find any bugs that may effect people. So far it's been fine, but it's not qualified so you will be on your own for troubleshooting. You can check this page from time to time to see when Avid qualifies Windows 10 avid.force.com/pkb/articles/compatibility/Windows-10-support-for-Media-Composer-Pro-Tools-Sibelius-EUCON-and-ISIS
Thanks for watching.
Thank you. I watch all your PT and 11R videos. The one on using SPDIF for reamping was great. Hey, any way to set-up use a foot pedal to punch in/out of PT12?
Thank you . You solved my problem.
Great. Enjoy, thanks for the view
Followed instructions and now have NO audio whatsoever even without PT first running. thanks........
When you install ASIO4ALL is automatically sets itself as the main sound source for Windows. Just click your speaker icon in the tray and choose a different output. Simple.
OMG!! Does Pro Tools First run on Windows 10? Because the pro tools website said that it needed Windows 7 or 8.1. Please Answer My Question!!
Nice Vid :)
PT|First is not approved for Windows 10, but it should work. It works for me anyway.
BenoniStudio that's is great news. Thank YOU SO MUCH!!!
Worked for me thanks
when I choose asio4all in playbackengine "APPCRASH" error coming. how to fix this?
Pro Tools | First is riddled with problems. Try disabling all audio sources from the PC and launch again.
brotha man I just downloaded pro tools first to try out the system and I downloaded aiso4all cause pro tools would not start up. now that it starts up it wont play back sound and I cant figure out why. if you have an idea please help
+Raymond Bowles Make sure you have ASIO4ALL set as the "interface" for Pro Tools in the SETUP menu. Make sure your outputs are set correctly on your tracks.
Does this work with other versions of Pro Tools such as SE?
Um... with Pro Tools SE I believe you are required to use a qualified M-Audio interface. Pro Tools SE is outdated anyway. Have you check out Pro Tools | First www.avid.com/pro-tools-first
Does this also work with the normal pro tools or only in pro tools first?
Yes, you can use ASIO4ALL with full Pro Tools
Thanks for the quick answer, well now i have selected it restarted the program and i am still not getting any sound, weird.
You'll have to check the options in ASIO4ALL and make sure it is setup right for your your interface or computer audio if you are using the internal sound system. Also, default the IO in Pro Tools
where can i see that the setup is right for my interface or computer audio, also i am using headphones right now which work via USB but i also tried plugging my speakers directly into the computer but i still wasnt getting any sound
Can you please post a video of how to tweak and optimize windows 10 for pro tools 12.
I deactivated all the audio devices but I still got an error and program closed out. Focusrite works for Ableton but not ProTools.
Did you try this support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/209125545-Using-Scarlett-2nd-Gen-with-Pro-Tools-First-Windows-Only
When I select Realtek, it crashes.
It could be because of a mis-match between sample rates in Windows and Pro Tools.
That's the problem, yeah. Thanks for the help mate. :)
Ok it worked i can hear the sound but i can't recored my voice it writes this note "No track are record-enable" i don't know why??
You press the Arm/Record button on a track to record to that track. But first you need to set the input of that track.
I hold down "N" key when PT is booting up and nothing happens. Frustrating. Keep getting the error everytime.
+Dreezey Dreeze Must be because I am on Windows 10. This suks...
Thank you !!!
ok i can get my mic with the fantom power to record but how do i get audion out of my headphones cant seem to listen to it when i record
Depends where you have them plugged into. Are they enabled as a playback device in Windows?
***** call me man lol I can't do this much longer lol 7+ hours I've been doing this and still no music through head phones 419-979-9217
no my headphones are pugged into jack on labtop, even then i cant get music to play out of speakers built on to it
It could be so many things. Did you route the sound correctly in ASIO4ALL? Did you check you Windows sound sources to make sure they are enabled? Try switching the sample rate.
It's showing p np generic
Why is it that I can get into Pro Tools 12 with ASIO4ALL but i cant hear things such as youtube once i do that?
+Brian Zellmer Pro Tools requires it's own soundcard. Thats why an audio interface is recommended. So while Pro Tools is running, ONLY Pro Tools is using that soundcard. Pro Tools just needs it's own thing.
I'm having the same issue in 12. did you find a fix?
Yeah I haven't found a solution to this.
T BYRD Yeah I haven't found a solution to this.
i installed ASIO4ALL still no audio when i start a new session .
Hi, thank you for the video!
I know this isn't a Q & A forum, but I am using a cheap audio interface which I was hoping to be able to record with Pro Tools 12. It's a Behringer Xenyx 302 USB audio interface and - I was hoping that by installing ASIO4ALL - that Pro Tools would allow me to record with this... but to no avail. ... Have you any advice on that, or have I got to just throw away the Behringer and start saving for an Mbox?
If anyone could be help I would obviously be very grateful! Thank you :)
+JACKjmDAVY Have you tried installing the ASIO driver for the Xenyx 302? I have no experience with that interface, but making sure the ASIO driver is installed would be the first step for any interface on Windows with Pro Tools.
I still get no sound at all in my computer aftet all this
Thank you
what about pro tools express?
You should be able to use ASIO4ALL with PT Express. But Express is discontinued.
Thanks bro
I don't have preferences in my setup window like others and don't have I/o also
thanks bro..
I can't start this software without ASIO4ALL ¬¬ If I try to check Windows Devices it shuts down and return to the error.
It says that my USB microphone is NOT connected =\
Could you help me ?
I Just want to bring some BEAT then record my voice as playback and do something.. (Audacity latency F* me)
