Re: codec and boom

Keith,What is your USB microphone?You may need to look at details & driver info to determine if it is the mixer or not.
If it isn't your mixer, then you need to find what category device the mixer is under in the device manager and let us know what Mike 2 USB is.
Do you have an application that lets you listen to the mixer on your computer?If yes then you could patch the audio output (earphones) from the computer into the computer microphone input jack and record from this input with only a minor loss of digital resolution.If not, then you need to consider the purpose of the mixer and its capabilities to determine the best course of action.

  Steven, In windows device manager I search for audio, then manage audio devices, then tab recording; I see    
   - Microphone 2 usb ready
   - Microphone realtek default
 Same result when I right click the speaker symbol and select recording devices
 
 So the mixer is not showing up at all; should it?
 
 Thanks,
 Keith

  Keith, Does your mixer show as an audio input device in the windows device manager? 
  What other software might be open that accepts the mixer datastream? (Some background software may interfere with the operation) 
  If you rightclick on the speaker symbol next to the WiFi symbol near the clock in the lower right corner of your Windows display, select recording devices and see if the mixer is there. Also check out the troubleshoot sound problems at the bottom of the list.

    Hello, 
     
   - With recording device usb selected I get no sound recorded
   - Bellow A below middle C I get bathroom boom described below:
 I use Windows 10 on an Aspire Switch 12 
 
 Audacity 2.1.3 
 
 Rode 3 microphone 
  into 
 
 Behringer XENYX USB mixer into 
 
 the USB port;  I use a USB hub port with four slots, one of which takes the output from the mixer. 
 
     
   - I need at least one other for the USB mouse controller 
  
 No - I don't use the computer's built-in microphone 
 
 The bathroom boom might be better described as follows: 
 
 Quite suddenly as you move down from just above A3 to just below A3 the sound intensity falls quite dramatically; you might better call it a drop-out. In a day or two I'll post the recording I made. 
  
  Many thanks,
 Keith
