4. Solución de problemas

If you encounter issues with your Midiplus Studio 4, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Sin energía/Dispositivo no reconocido:

• Asegúrese de que el cable USB esté conectado de forma segura tanto a la interfaz como a su computadora.
• Pruebe con un puerto USB diferente en su computadora.
• Si usa un concentrador USB, intente conectarlo directamente a la computadora o use un concentrador USB con alimentación.
• If the device is not receiving enough power from the USB bus, connect an external +5V power supply to the mini USB port.
• Reinicie su computadora.

Sin salida de sonido:

• Check all cable connections to your monitors and headphones.
• Ensure the Monitor Volume and Headphone Gain knobs are turned up.
• Verify that the correct input/output routing is selected using the IN/OUT buttons.
• Check your computer's sound settings and your DAW's audio preferences to ensure the Midiplus Studio 4 is selected as the input/output device.
• Ensure the LED meters are showing activity when audio is present.

Señal de entrada demasiado baja/alta:

• Adjust the GAIN knobs for the respective inputs.
• Ensure the LINE/INST switch is set correctly for your connected device (e.g., INST for guitars, LINE for keyboards).
• Si utiliza un micrófono de condensador, asegúrese de que la alimentación fantasma de 48 V esté habilitada.

Problemas de latencia:

• Ajusta el tamaño del búfer en la configuración de audio de tu DAW. Un tamaño de búfer más bajo reduce la latencia, pero requiere más potencia de CPU.
