Problem

Items to Check

Action

Recorded sound is too loud 

or too soft

Is the input level appropriate?

Use the UA-4FX2’s [MIC/GUITAR] knob or [LINE IN] knob to adjust the 

input level. If your software has an adjustable input level, check the input 

level setting.

Is the sensitivity of your mic appropriate for 

the rated input level of the UA-4FX2?

The rated input level of the UA-4FX2’s XLR type mic input is -56– -18 dBu. 

If your mic’s sensitivity is low, the volume will decrease.

Can’t play back or record

Have you specified the input/output devices 

for your software?

Select UA-4FX2 as the input/output device.

Could the UA-4FX2’s USB indicator be unlit?

Check that the UA-4FX2 is correctly connected to your computer.
If this does not solve the problem, reinstall the USB driver.

Could the volume of your Windows computer 

or Mac be turned down?

Adjust the system volume setting (“System volume setting”).

Windows

Could you be using voice 

communication software?

Disable automatic volume adjustment (“Windows monitoring function 

settings”).

Can’t play back or record 24-

bit audio data

Does your software support 24-bit audio data? Check whether your software supports 24-bit audio data playback and 

recording.

Is your software set correctly?

Check whether your software is set to play back or record 24-bit audio 

data.
