Louis\_R: Importing the .wav or .mp3 back into a Cubase project results in no sound, and the ‘sound graph’ is also blank. st10ss and Johnny\_Moneto: I suspect that what you are saying is the root of the problem. When I go back to [An Amateur Guide To Connecting And Using the Moxf8 in your Daw](https://forums.steinberg.net/t/an-amateur-guide-to-connecting-and-using-the-moxf8-in-your-daw/146678) the author describes doing two things that I don’t seem to be able to do. First he says to go to Studio/Audio Devices/Add Devices and set up the MOXF as an external instrument. The ‘add devices’ doesn’t exist on Cubase 12 Elements (or I am looking in the wrong place) and I cannot find anywhere to add the MOXF as a new device. He also mentions that I need to go to Audio Connections/External Instruments and set up the MOXF as a new instrument. I don’t see an Audio Connections tab, but in the Audio tab there is no ability to set up the MOXF as a new instrument (most likely because I failed at the first part). In any event, here are some screen grabs (if you need different ones, let me know…remember, I am the dummy here) Thanks again for the help! ![audioconn](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/steinberg/original/3X/4/6/4611d196bbef5516c857d151f0124f28492b63bb.png) ![studiosetup](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/steinberg/original/3X/b/a/ba9c09dfff9eb35f16f72bc5ce5fc38dc637ffbe.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.steinberg.net/t/no-sound-output-in-audio-mixdowns-cubase-12-elements/811475)._
