Steinberg Audio Interface Ur22c
Salvator Grimard
A few weeks ago I bought my first audio interface, the Steinberg UR22C. When testing it, I ran into a major problem with the volume of the headphone output. When the MIX knob is to the left (INPUT) the volume is loud enough, but if I turn it to the right (DAW) the volume is very low and almost inaudible. It is even difficult to listen to YouTube videos or a Spotify song. Is my UR22C faulty? Any suggestion?
I was doing a comparison between [headphone out] and [main out] and they sounded very different. Luckily I found what the problem was, my 3.5mm Female plug to 6.5mm Male Jack Stereo Headphone Adapter.
I was using 2 that are gold because I considered them to be of good quality, one is even the original of the headphones and a thread to fit better. like these:
Using TOOLS for UR-C V1.5.x requires firmware version V1.50 or newer to be installed (further down on this page)!
Before running the installation, please read the 'Installation Guide' inside the extracted 'TOOLS for UR-C' folder carefully as well.
*You may own UR-C audio interfaces with firmware version 1.6x installed. This version is a factory-installed version to support a few mechanical changes of newer hardware revisions, but it is equivalent to version 1.50 in terms of functionality. Hence, the newer version is not available separately.
Steinberg is now owned by Yamaha and the hardware giant's influence is all over the UR22C with some key features that are also included in Steinberg's much more expensive audio interfaces. You get high quality D-Pre class A preamps on the input channels for a warm and transparent recorded sound. Then there's the Yamaha SSP3 DSP chip, delivering latency-free monitoring with high quality built-in effects including the REV-X reverb, the Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip and Guitar Amp Classic effects. You'll also find A-D/D-A converter in the UR22C that would normally be at home in much higher end units delivering, as they do, a maximum sampling rate of 192 kHz with 32-bit resolution.
A main dial controls the output of the interface, the connections for which are around the back along with standard sized MIDI connection (In and Out) and USB C and micro-USB connectivity. For use with iOS devices you will need a Lightning to USB Camera Adapter and, because the interface draws its power via USB, you will need another power source like the optional DC adaptor which can also connect around the back of the unit.
The specs might be high-end but the user that UR22C is aimed at is very much the home and mobile producer, something that the almost ridiculously low price bears out, and in use the UR22C is very straightforward. The all-metal chassis is built for all occasions; you wouldn't call the unit pocket-sized though, although it can definitely be thrown in a backpack alongside your iPad or the compartment of a laptop bag. You get Mac and PC dspMixFx software (iOS users can download a dspMixFx app) that gives you a mixer for the channels, routing options with your DAW and access to the DSP effects which can process the input signals with no monitoring latency, essentially allowing you to add effects to your sound before anything has been recorded.

Before setting up your Steinberg UR22C audio interface to work with the JamKazam app, you must first set it up to work properly with/on your Windows computer. To do this, you need to install a piece of software called a "driver" that was developed by Steinberg. This software driver controls the operation of the audio interface hardware as it interacts with your Windows computer. Following are instructions on how to: (1) download the latest/greatest version of the software driver for your UR22C, and yes it's important that you use the latest version of the driver software; and (2) install the software driver on your Windows computer.
You now see the files included in the download. Double-click the "setup.exe" file to start the Steinberg installer (pictured below with arrow). When you do this, you will likely see a Windows prompt asking if you want to give permission for the Steinberg installer to make changes to your computer. Please click "Yes" to all the installer to run.
You now see the next screen of the Steinberg installer. Click the "I accept the agreement" radio button to accept the Steinberg software license terms. Then click the Next button (pictured below with arrow).
