This applies to the Audiohub 2×4
If you are experiencing audio problems with your Audiohub 2×4 such as unwanted audio artefacts, audio dropouts or glitches, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot this and try to resolve the problems.
For optimum audio performance, we recommend connecting the included power supply to the Audiohub to avoid unwanted audio artefacts.
With any audio interface, you must trade performance/latency for stability. When connected via a hub, this trade-off is less favourable, and Audiohub is an audio interface connected via an internal hub. As a result of this, if you're still experiencing audio issues, please try running your Audiohub at a sample rate of 44.1kHz as opposed to higher sample rates such as 88.2kHz or 96kHz.
To do this on Windows, open your DAW audio preferences, and you will find an option to change the sample rate. Please ensure this is set to '44.1kHz', '44100Hz' or similar.
To do this on a Mac, open 'Audio MIDI setup', select the 'Audiohub 2×4' and set the 'Format:' to '44100.0 Hz' as shown in the below screenshot:
If you continue to have audio issues, please try increasing your Audiohub audio buffer size.
To do this on Windows, you should open the 'Audiohub USB 2.0 Audio Control Panel', set the 'USB performance mode' to 'Mixing' and click 'Apply' as shown below:
On Mac, you can set your buffer size in your DAW audio preferences. The Screenshot below shows where this can be set in Ableton Live. Try setting this to 512 or 1024 to see if it helps.
