Weird problems:Cross and U-Mix Control Pro 2 (Help request)

Hi there from germany,

Just bought the U-Mix Control Pro 2 and Cross DJ and I was (and still am) experiencing some very weird problems.

I tried to post in the help section first, but it wasn't possible for me. So here I am, angry to the bone, with a problem, hopeing someone can help.
(prologue:)
First I istalled the driver and software that came with the purchased CD.
Everything worked fine, but every mix I recorded seemed corrupted (Error code 88780064) . My bad, since I didn't know, I had to switch between the U-Mix Soundcard and my onboard one.
Before I figured that out, I downloaded driver and software updates.
Uninstalled everything. Ran 2 different Reg Cleaners (cCleaner and Tweak Now) just to make sure I removed every little bit of the former installations.
Installed the software updates and the new driver, plugged U-Mix Control Pro 2 to my USB and thats where the problem starts:
(Problem:)
The Master Volume is now controlled by the "Mix" button that's for the Headphone Mix. It's no longer possible to preview sound via headphones, because the signal comes out of my speakers when I press the "Headphone button" (Source A or B on top of the hardware right next to the gain control).

Any Ideas what might have gone wrong or how to solve it?

Thanks

Hey Daniel,

first of all, thnx for the quick reply. For the cookie thing: In order to clean my registry, I already deleted all cookies and stuff. I also tried to use another browser (IE nstead of Firefox). Same problem. The only place i can post anything is the "General Chat".

Now back to topic: Problem solved!!! :razz: and damn happy about it.

I just wonder...well...wait...

My mistake was, to use output 3/4 instead of 1/2. Putting the chinch cables in 3/4 caused the issues I posted above.
I just wonder problems like that don't appear in the FAQ or troubleshooting (neither the .pdf nor the paper one). Same is for "Error Code 88780064" wich you get whenever you try to use Winamp, Win Media Player or whatever without switching from the Asio Soundcard to the mainboard one. The problem is simple, and it's obvious, that someone with no experience in setting up audio hardware, drivers n stuff will stumble across problems like that.

The forum has a few post related to that error code 88780064 thing: "can't record anything at all" and so on. Some members posted soluions like "use audaciy" or "use the microphone input of your onbord soundcard to record sound" wich is defniately errr...the stuff that bulls drop when full. The correct answer would have been and would be: switch from the ASIO card to your onboard / regular soundcard.

Well...I am very happy that everything works fine for me now. Finally I'd like to leave some minor suggestions to anyone who's responsible:

1.The provided soft- and hardware can be used in 6 or more languages, but there's only a french (je ne sais pas pourqouis) and an english documentation. Hireing people to translate the documentation would probably cost 100 to 150 bucks each langauge. Why not hire them and make the product cost 10 bucks more?
2.Add the Error Code 88780064 and the mixed function problem to the FAQ.
3.The process of registration and whats related to it is a bit confusing, since the engleeshe is obvoiusly written by a non native english person. Hire another person to fix that. Put another 2 bucks on the products price.
4.Hire an experienced webmaster, to fix the Forum.2 more bucks on the product.
5.Keep up the good work.

Don't get me wrong. I am very very happy about U-Mix Control Pro 2 and stuff. It's really a great solution for digital DJing. I'm just trying to suggest things to make things a lot easier.

Thanks, Good Luck and good night!

;)
