Hello all,

it had already worked some time back. And now, that I updated to 2023/1006 and tried to use this device it fails and if going into control panel it even dumps.

Screenshot attached.

Any ideas ?

Cheers
Stefan

Some more findings...

The audio interface of StudioLive AR12c isn´t working even in Studio One 6 despite firmware version is most current. Also my ioStation 24c isn´t working in any DAW. I am completely at a loss and not sure, when things start going south as I make updates and buy upgrades while I have not time to use the software as much as I would like. Therefore it is devastating, when I try doing some music and the hardware and software is not working as intended and as in the past.

I any wonderful member did solve issues like these with this products, let me know.
If it hadn´t worked in the past, somewhere on the timeline, it would not as embarassing.....

Any tipp is welcome, though I open a ticket at Presonus as well.

Cheers
Stefan

#1 Does your interface work with youtube or such with all other programs closed?

Start with selecting WAS or MME drivers in BIAB for testing purposes. See if you get sound out of it.

Stefan.

its guesswork without seeing all your settings.
please post pics of the following..its very important.

1. your windows audio record/playback settings including advanced tab.
2. your studiolive ar 12 user control panel settings.
3. your bb was settings in case was works rather than asio.

the above will provide a full and complete snapshot of your settings so the rest of us plus pg support can help further.

off the bat what i see is no input and output ports listed for asio.make sure the correct driver is selected.
you should see ports listed for your asio selection .

the other thing i see is asio 4 all at bottom.
dont you have a proper asio driver for the studiolive from the web site instead of asio4all ?

is the above your mixer ??

note ..on you tube are several you tube vids for studiolive.

ps i suggest if we get it working take pics of your settings in case they are needed in the future.
i assume youve intalled the studiolive control software ??



merry xmas.

Take this problem to Google. The issue resides with the Presonis StudioLive AR12c. I am 90%+ sure that there is a button which needs to be pushed on the board to permit communication with a computer DAW. Or get out the manual.

Hello MusicStudent,

you are right, there is a button that needs to be pressed to get the mixer in USB mode.
I am pretty sure, that I had this pressed previously with out it working. A few days later, it worked as usual....hmm.
Don´t ask me why.
Must be my fault I guess.

Attached a picture of the button, just for all to see.

Thanks for hints and attention.

Happy New Year to this marvelous forum members....!

Cheers
Stefan
