Troubleshooting

•  “The unit will not power on”

Double check that the USB cable is plugged 
in (and/or 12VDC power adapter). If it still 
won’t power on, try using a different USB 
port on the computer and possibly even a 
different USB cable. If you are using a USB 
hub, please try plugging iD14 directly into 
the computer.

•  “I get clicks and pops on DAW playback”

This is most likely to do with setting the 
buffer size too low for your computer. 
This can be caused by running very large 
projects with a lot of plugins and virtual 
instruments. Experiment with higher buffer 
sizes (and Latency settings in Windows). 
Typically you want small buffer sizes for 
tracking or recording software synths to 
keep the latency low. However when mixing 
it is fine to set a slightly higher buffer size as 
latency is not so much of a problem.

•  “When I connect to my computer,             

I cannot play any audio out from iD14”

Firstly double check that the USB cable 
connecting iD14 to your computer is
functional and attached at both ends.

Double check that iD14 is set as the active 
playback device in your DAW and computer:

System Preferences > Sound > Output Tab
> Audient iD14  (OSX)

Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > 
Sound > Manage Audio Devices > Audient 
iD14  (Windows) 

Launch the iD mixer application to 
activate communication between your 
computer and iD14. This only needs to be 
done once straight after power up. Once 
iD14 is set to the operational state you 
desire, you can quit the iD application and it 
will continue to function as intended.

In the software mixer, locate the DAW 
channels by pressing the DAW view button 
and increase the level of DAW 1+2 fader.

TROUBLESHOOTING & FAQ

Operation with Ableton Live

Once iD14 has been successfully installed 
following the steps detailed after 

page 6

 of 

this manual, launch Ableton Live and head 
straight to:

Live > Preferences

Here navigate to the Audio tab and make 
sure that iD14 is assigned as the playback
device.

   
   
 

 

 

For more information    

 

 

 

about setting up audio 

 

 

 

i/o refer to your Ableton  

 

 

 

Live user manuals &

   documentation.

In the Live Audio Preference panel you can 
set an appropriate buffer size (this can be 
kept high if you are monitoring input signals 
for recording via the iD mixer. Ensure that 
iD14 reports as a 10-in, 4-out device to 
Live. 

If necessary you can limit the number of 
i/o channels reported as active inputs 
(from the driver) in Live by using the input 
and output config tabs. This is an excellent 
feature to help reduce CPU loading if all 
channels are not required.
