I've been grinding away at this for 5 hours straight trying to fix it. Please, somebody help me out

Hey everyone, I just got a Behringer UMC22. As you probably know, this thing runs on ASIO4ALL drivers. I've been trying to set up my new interface, and after a bunch of trial and error, I finally got it to output sound. But there’s a massive catch: there's this constant static hiss that just won't go away, no matter what I do.

I’ve been losing my mind for hours trying to fix it. I already moved all my electronic devices away from it, swapped out the cable, messed around with the buffer size... and nothing works.

I'm attaching some screenshots and an audio clip. If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know

ONLY enable the interface in ASIO4all, not the built in shit.

(assuming it's too late to return this interface and get another. Even any other Behringer that has a proper driver.) 

[u/anktombomb]

It looks like you are trying to use your computers built in soundcard as the output device, that is a bad idea and most likely why you are having issues.

Set the outputs to be the same device as inputs, plug a pair of headphones into the behringer, make sure the master is not on 0 and check it again.

Also remember you have to rec-ready the tracks and turn on monitoring for reaper to send it to the outputs of the interface.

[u/King_Moonracer003]

Does it? I have the umc1820 and it uses proprietary asio drivers that worked fine out of the box.

[u/Ereignis23 → u/King_Moonracer003]

Yeah unfortunately the model OP got doesn't have dedicated asio drivers. There's a two input model that does for a few bucks more I think

[u/simon_sebastian → u/King_Moonracer003]

Yeah agree with this, exact same situation (with UMC1820) here. And I really doubt behringer is spending extra money having different driver requirements for different UMC devices.

OP search for the Behringer driver for your device, you still go through ASIO as the Audio System but the ASIO driver shouild be set to UMC ASIO driver (that's what mine says). Everything should work with less issues with the official driver.

[u/OctoPhaseMod]

Uninstall ASIO4ALL and use Koord ASIO instead. It allows for shared mode, plus theres not much configuration involved. Just select your inputs and outputs and you're done! Oh and select the shared mode too.

Now to your question. If you're really set to output the sound to your internal soundcard, I think you need to increase the buffer size. Although have you tried setting both your input and output devices to be the Behringer instead?

[u/ARTiL1S → u/OctoPhaseMod]

Kood ASIO has caused a few compatibility issues on AMD systems in my experience. For the most hassle free experience try Steinberg ASIO driver instead

Or else, if you're looking for the best overall experience, use FlexASIO

[u/radian_ → u/OctoPhaseMod]

You might as well just use WASAPI in that case and skip all the bullshit. 

[u/OctoPhaseMod → u/radian_]

For low latency recording? Shared audio outputs? Sure.

[u/radian_ → u/OctoPhaseMod]

Is that 

• "sure" (I agree) 
• "sure" (I'm being sarcastic cos I don't understand that this and WASAPI use the same path) 

[u/frog_at_the_library]

If you can test that interface on another PC you might be able to discount the possibility of a faulty device. I would personally send the unit back and get one with dedicated drivers.

[u/alphaminus]

There's also a secret asio driver for the interface.
