9.3 Troubleshooting FAQs

NOTE: While this manual contains some
basic FAQ's, you will find a much more
detailed FAQ document on the US-224 CD-
ROM. The FAQ is also updated on a
regular basis, so we suggest you check the
TASCAM website for the current version.
Q. I don't see the US-224 in Cubasis'
Audio Control Panel.
A. Check to see if the US-224 is installed
correctly within your OS. In Windows, go to
the Device Manager (My Computer/Control
Panel/Setup), and click on the Sound, video
and Game controllers tab to make sure the
US-224 is installed and operating correctly.
Also check to see that your USB cable is
connected securely, and that the unit is
powered up before booting Cubasis.
Q. I've connected audio to the US-224,
but can't hear anything.
A. Make sure your input levels are sufficient.
The green INPUT LED's should light to
indicate the presence of analog audio signal
at the inputs. Make sure your monitor or
headphone levels are turned up, and
connected correctly.
Q. My audio is distorted.
A. Check to see if the signal is overloading.
The red OL LED's should only occasionally
flicker. In the case of a digital input, try
reducing the output level of the source.
Q. I can see a response on screen from
Cubasis to the US-224, but I don't hear
any audio.
A. Make sure your audio signal path is
correctly routed. Make sure the channels
you're trying to monitor are not in Input
mode. Make sure your output level is turned
up. Make sure that the US-224 ASIO driver
(16 or 24 bit) is selected.
Q. I can hear audio, but I see no response
to the US-224 on screen.
A. Make sure you've got the US-224
selected in the VST Remote menu. Make
sure you're looking at the correct BANK of
faders on screen.
