Re: windows WASAPI and recording channel number issue

HOWDY,  I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE BEHRINGER UMC404HD, BUT I HAVE A SUGGESTION. IF YOUR INPUTS TO THE BEHRINGER HAS PAN KNOBS, TURN THEM TO ONE SIDE ONLY.  ALSO YOU COULD STILL RECORD IN STEREO, AND THEN USE THE TRACKS COMMAND TO MIX DOWN TO MONO.  FINALLY IF YER INPUTS TO YOUR MIXER ARE LEFT AND RIGHT, UNPLUG ONE SIDE.  HOPE THIS HELPS.

Subject: [Audacity-users] windows WASAPI and recording channel number issue

Hello

I am using Audacity 2.2.1 on Windows 10 1709 with Behringer UMC404HD as the audio interface.

I opened up audacity and set the host to Windows WASAPI, the Recording device to UMC404HD, and the Playback to UMC404HD. I set the channel as 4.

Now I create a new mono track and record, the "Error opening sound device" error occurs. Without creating any track and I push the record button, audacity starts to record all 4 channels, without a problem. What I want to do is record only mono channel instead.

If I switch the host to MME or Windows DirectSound, there is no problem recording in Mono.

If I set the channel number to 1 and push the record button the same error occurs. The windows recording device setup for UMC404HD is 4channel, 24bit, 48000Hz. There are other options but all are 4channels.

What can I do to use WASAPI and record in mono channel? (I chose WASAPI because of its low latency)
