Behringer Xenyx X2222usb Usb Driver Download For Mac
Onofre Alamillo
we have cubase 11 elements, and have a behringer x2222 usb mixer.
the only driver i could find on their site is the ASIO4ALLV2 but it seems like this driver doesnt work to record mic/line in cubase, theres audio but nothing in any input or track
Hey, I've had this issue with my Behringer x2222usb mixer since I got it, but just figured I was doing something wrong and forgot about it. Basically, whenever I use the usb output to my computer, I get this background noise that sounds like a very distant, but very present leaf blower. I couldn't figure it out, so I've just used the rca output going to a 3.5mm jack ever since.
I'm under the impression that the Xenyx preamps in this mixer only work with the usb output, because the rca out gives me such an insanely quiet signal; so when it all comes down to it, I can either use the rca output and have to jack up all my channel sliders, or use the usb output and get this crazy annoying and obvious background noise.
I need help if anybody can offer it. The reason I got this mixer was because of the usb output and the preamps... I just want to record. I can send anybody an mp3 of what this usb output exactly sounds like; keeping in mind this should be a totally clean signal, everything is muted.
The RCA output should give you sufficient level. Is it the line input of the computer you are taking it in to? You don't say what type of computer you have or which operating system you are running, but have you tried adjusting the level in the sound control panel?
I'm using a pc I recently built that's running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. It's not the line input of the computer, that's up all the way. I'm able to get a louder signal, but only after putting the gain at nearly 75% and the channel slider and master sliders nearly all the way up. I just figured that a mixer with preamps wouldn't need that...
Hi there John. John... your problem is... you got a ground issue. You don't know what you're doing. You don't know how to properly adjust your mixer. You don't want to be plugging into the audio card of your computer but only the USB. Just the USB and no audio going into your computer. This is where your confusion and noise issues are occurring. It's not the mixer. It's the operator of the computer whose playing with the mixer. You're going to have to do some reading.
Most of our electronic products today like what you have such as computers and inexpensive audio equipment, all used today what's known as a switching power supply. These things are great and extremely lightweight. But they can cause some awful interference hash all over the place. It infects everything, it gets into everything, it causes noise and buzz in audio and nasty lines and hum bars on display screens and TVs. And you end up with a full kitty box. The more stuff you plug-in, the bigger the box gets. And then it's time to clean it. That's what you need to do now.
You're talking about getting a louder signal. That's like saying I could make my thumb bigger by simply hitting it with a hammer. It gets louder when you learn how to adjust your mixer. It gets louder when you eliminate ground problems that cause additional noise and interference. It gets louder when you pick up a book or a magazine a few times. I get louder when people don't read their instruction manuals that came with the product.
The RCA outputs on that mixer are specified at +22dBu, in other words, well above what would be expected as a "domestic" level output designed to feed an analog recorder of some sort. That level is also well above what the audio line inputs on a computer motherboard would expect to receive. So there is something wrong: the mixer output, the cable you are using or the computer line input.
You should try splitting the problem up. Do you have another domestic-level device such as a hi-fi system that you try taking the RCA outputs of the mixer into? Similarly, try taking the "tape" outputs of a hi-fi unit directly into the line input of the computer, as that should give respectable levels.

First and foremost; I don't appreciate the way you chose to respond to me. I'm obviously no expert. I was simply looking for some assistance from a person who could give it, so I don't understand why you have to be so condescending and rude to me. If you can't offer your advice without making me feel like complete garbage, please just move along and don't respond at all.
To address what you've said, I'll start by telling you that I've tried to looking into this problem. I've read every manual I have front to back countless times, and you should know that a consumer mixer like the Behringer x2222 isn't going to come with any manuals that address issues even close to what I'm having; they're very basic. Also, this is NOT a ground loop problem. I've made multiple attempts to confirm this, and everything I have done as told me that grounding issues are not to blame. So before you start making accusations and implying that I "don't know what I'm doing", please at least let me explain myself. Again, I DO NOT have a ground issue, and I'm well aware of how to adjust my mixer and properly set levels, and I have done hours of research on this whole problem.
If anybody out there can offer me legitimate advice without being a total ass wipe, I'd be quite appreciative. I apologize if I didn't initially offer enough information, I normally don't seek help from forums. I also apologize if I'm not an electrician or recording engineer, I do this as a hobby.

Thanks for your response. It does make sense that the rca outputs should offer a more than adequate signal; I just wasn't sure. I've used the mixer with my power amp as a pa system, and if I remember correctly I was able to get a pretty beefy signal. I'm going to try that setup again to make sure, but I'm pretty certain whatever is going on here has to do with the computer.
There's no problem with your computer. This is all pure operator error. You just don't like getting balled out by a real engineer that knows what's going on. Your questions like how do I get toothpaste out of the toothpaste tube. I can tell you it's not at the rear of the tube. No matter whether you think it should be or not. I don't care what you've read if you've read anything at all. You're the expert so why are you asking? Who's stupid? You know it's not a ground loop but you don't get sound out of the thing properly, indicating plainly, operator error.
Ya know this is a piece of entry level beginner equipment. You don't know how to plug the thing in. You don't know what's coming out of it or what it means. You don't understand about grounding and then you say there's no ground loop BS. You've installed, fixed, designed and maintain major control room and broadcast facilities right? So why are you asking the question? Then get it and have it fixed so they can tell you there's nothing wrong with it. And we can't help you with a doctor it hurts when I do this question. You're getting angry angry about free and useful information that you didn't have to pay for. Because you want the right information immediately for free. And that's my information to you learn what you're doing. It's so easy to blame your equipment. That's all novices do.
Now we can step you through what needs to be done without being corrected by the likes of yourself that doesn't know what they're doing. You're telling your doctor you don't feel good. When the doctor wants to give you a shot with a syringe you don't wanna shot with a syringe. Because they hurt. And so you know volume I have an infection don't feel good the problem is with the syringe because it hurts. So you're not going to take a syringe but you want to be fixed now because you know that the syringe hurts so it can't do any good because you have confirmed it. Great. That's real helpful. So we wave our hands in the air and sprinkle magic fairy dust while Santa comes down your chimney and all will be better.
