Audio interface line In won't work

[Spork829]

Hi everyone!

 

I have a Tascam US-1200 interface. I went with this model because it was a cheaper alternative to something like a Focusrite, and with more inputs. However the model is discontinued and no longer gets driver updates, which is currently making me regret my decision.

 

The unit works for pretty much everything I use it for. I can record into my DAW (I use Reaper) with a microphone and it works just fine, using ASIO to pick specific inputs on the device. However, no other applications are able to pick up my mic through the XLR inputs. I choose the "Line In" option in discord, for example, and just get no sound. I can see the mic working if I open the Tascam driver software, but for some reason it's not getting transferred over.

 

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

Line-in probably refers to your motherboard line in so it makes sense your mic wouldn't come through that, if your interface isn't showing up in inputs I'm not too sure what's going on. Software has never really been my area of expertise though so perhaps someone else has some more specific info...

Oh no I'm talking about the line in for the interface, the option in discord is "Line In (TASCAM US-1200)". I'm just not able to figure out how to get the XLR input to come through this.

Got if figured out, turns out I had to match the sample rate in the Windows sound settings for the input device to that of the interface.
