portacapture X8 No sound from LINE OUT

[aranjo]

Hi,
Why is there no sound from LINE OUT when a file is played via the file manager?

Thanks

That's like asking a mechanic "how come my car won't start".

Please be more specific.
* List the relevant steps in the owner manual that you've performed already that haven't worked for you.
* To what are you connecting the X8.
* What kind of connecting cable are you using.

Then perhaps we'll be able to help.

Thank you Mark,
I would like to use X8 for live performances.
In other words, I want to play a file as a loop from the file manager that I can play both via headphones and via the line out output. But unfortunately the sound can only be heard via the headphone output. the line out remains mute. Why is there a special setting for this?

 

[Mark Richards]

If you can't tell me the steps in the owner manual that you've already tried without success, I have nowhere from which to start. Please address the 3 points in my post.

BTW, in 2021 you had a model 12, yes? Did you sell it?

I just want to play a file, dosent matter what i do as next, play as a loop or not.
The line out remains mute.

There are no more steps and i can't find something more specific in the manual

This is the online reference manual for the X8. Please consult the information in chapters 4 , 11, 12 and see if that helps.

I have already read through the manual several times and tested all the steps on the device several times.
In addition to my question, no sound comes out of the line out output in any configuration and application.
The only sound I have been able to hear so far is a short click when a channel is activated (red) or deactivated in the input configuration

Maybe there is a defect.

But thank you for your valued help.
