Hello,

until recently I was using a USB powered microphone from XTZ. I had no problems taking measurements in WASAPI mode until suddenly I was unable to. The only way I could take measurements was in NME mode and I noticed that every measurement showed different delays. I use JRIVER as my music playback software and it has no problem being connected via WASAPI to the ONKYO. This made me think that the microphone was the culprit and I ordered the UMIK-1 as a replacement. However, the problem is exactly the same, not being able to take measurements in WASAPI mode.

I use a media computer that is connected via HDMI to my Onkyo Processor. The Onkyo nor UMIK-1 do not have an ASIO option, only WASAPI.

At the bottom of the Measurement menu it states that Format and device combination is not supported. only when I enable NME mode will it work.

What am I doing wrong? This problem is the same in version 6.7 and 6.13 of Audiolense.

In the sound settings of windows 10 I have made sure to set the ONKYO HDMI connection to 5.1 and the same sample frequency and bit depth as the UMIK-1. All devices are indicated to work properly.

Anybody else had this problem before? If so, what was your solution?

Thanks for reading.

Jack

Have you checked that Audiolense is allowed by window to use the microphone input?

Search microphone privacy settings from the program menu…

Mvh,

Bernt,

Audiolense does not show up as an app/program requiring permission to use the mic.

Based on what I saw it is considered a desktop app and doesn't require permission.
