I rarely record audio from an external source so I realize this may be a basic issue, and there are probably many potential reasons for this, but I can’t get audio input to Cubase 14 with any soundcard. RIght now I’m using a primitive Behringer USB soundcard but I couldn’t get a Focusrite working either. I’m on a mac and I do have microphone allowed for Cubase in the privacy settings. Cubase sees my card, and in Studio Setup it’s set as the ASIO driver and Audio System. But in Audio Connections the input shows Not Connected. The soundcard (‘USB Audio Codec’) is shown in the popup menu but when i try to select it for the stereo input, it stays Not Connected. What am I missing? Logic and Ableton readily see my sound cards and I can easily record audio input to them. So that’s what I always do, record in another DAW and then bring the audio files to Cubase because I can’t record with Cubase. What am I missing?
Hi,
Make sure Cubase has enabled Mic in the System Preferences, please.
Open macOS System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Microphone. Enable Cubase here.
As I wrote, mic is enabled for Cubase in the privacy settings. I now checked again, and it is.
Hi,
I know, it sounds stupid, but… Have you tried to restart the computer, please?
Maybe, you can try to reinstall Cubase (the CoreAudio2ASIO component might be corrupted).
You could also try to reset the whole CoreAudio via Terminal.
Thank you for the suggestions. I did restart the computer. I can try reinstalling Cubase 14 although I haven’t had any problems with it, except this. I don’t know what I must type in the Terminal to reset CoreAudio. And none of my other DAWs have this audio input problem.
Hi,
sudo pkill coreaudiod
And type your user’s password.
