    Hi,

    it has nothing to do with SD3 but more your system and audio hardware. I am on Mac myself, so the built-in CoreAudio makes this easier.

    Does your audio interface have some kind of internal mixer and routing software? You need to find a way to route the output(s) of your applications to an input (probably a virtual one) without getting feedback.

    Thanks John. Not that I am aware of. You might be correct. I’m confused though, as when I’m playing music through youtube or media player or anything else along with SD3, the audio output from the laptop is set to the interface, and I hear both without issue, and can adjust volume independently from YT or SD3. I set the recording monitoring on Audacity to the interface, and it shows signal on the level meters when I play music through youtube etc, but it “hears” nothing coming from sd3, despite the fact i can still hear everything on speakers and phones. Ive tried virtual cables but no luck. Im guessing the audio from SD3 is coming through the usb to the laptop as well as audio from YT etc, but unsure why audacity is only seeing a discreet signal where the actual audio output is picking up everything. I guess it’s audacity, but I’m still a bit puzzled.

    Thanks for your help regardless.

    But isn’t the PreSonus Universal Control software for your hardware and what you need?

    I have that already. it seems I’m ignorant of the settings i need to change here to get the outcome im looking for. I’ll have a look at it and see if i can work it out.

    thanks for your help!
