No sound in Media Bay

Cubase
,

After the Media Bay finally loaded it worked properly for a few minutes. Now I get no sound at all. No settings were changed.
Any idea?
Thank you.

Hi,

If you are using the Control Room, ensure you have any Monitor bus enabled and the bus is routed to the meaningful Audio Port.

If you are not using the Control Room, right-click on the Stereo Out bus in the Audio Connections > Outputs and enable the Main Mix on it.

Nothing. I hear, as before, the normal sound (from VSTs) but not the Media Bay (The pop up one AND the side one). This is quite frustration since I used (or used to use now) the Media Bay a lot…

Hi,

Did you set the Main Mix? Or did you activate the Control Room?

I tried both. Nothing worked. I either misunderstand or my problem lies somewhere else.
I just think it’s weird that everything else works.

It works in Cubase Pro 12 btw…

Hi,

Could you attach a screenshot with the Control Room enabled, please?

Hi, Sorry for the late reply. My trial was over and I just purchased the Upgrade.
Here the picture of the Control Room (which I have never used btw) enabled.

I would disable it completely, as a first troubleshooting step, and see how things go from there, reenabling it while looking more closely at my routing setup (audio connections, etc.).

This was the first time ever I looked into the ControlRoom (because the previous poster said so).

Obviously I already checked everything. This is really frustrating since I used the Media Bay quite a bit…

Everything else works perfect. The Media Bay also works fine in Cubase 13 with exactly the same setup.

More precisely, either you :

  • use the Control Room. In this case, everything that is the Audio Connections > Outputs panel should be set as Not connected, all your hardware connections being listed in the Audio Connections > Control Room one.
  • don’t use the Control Room. Then, the Stereo Out bus should be activated in the Audio Connections > Outputs panel and nothing should be listed in the Audio Connections > Control Room one.

Trying to use both the Stereo Out bus and the Control Room together is the best way to get routing issues…

Same issue and I am certain Control Room is disabled and Studio Outputs are set up correctly and working. I can hear the metronome and VST instruments, just nothing from the Media bay on the right side of the screen. I can click on an piece of media and see it playing in the lower right part of the screen, I just don’t hear it.

Hi,

Enable the Main Mix on one of the Output bus by right-click on it.
