There is no sound even when playing back on the computer. Confirm that the MONITOR BALANCE knob on the unit is not turned all the way to the left (toward INPUT). If that is the case, turn the MONITOR BALANCE knob to the right of center. In addition, check the status of the unit's connection with the computer. Moreover, if you make the following settings, sound will be output through this unit, but no sound will be output by the computer's speakers or headphone jack. Windows See the "6 - Application Guide" on page 28 of this manual, and set the default playback device as necessary for the OS. Mac 1. Quit all applications and open "System Preferences..." from the Apple menu. 2. Open "Sound" . 3. On the "Output" tab, select "SERIES 102i" or "SERIES 208i". After completing the setting, restart the computer and check the sound of playback. Depending on the application that you are using, you might need to make additional device settings. In particular, DAW applications operate using audio engines with settings that are different from the OS settings, so confirm the DAW settings first after installing the driver and Settings Panel software for this unit. Please see the manuals for the applications that you are using for detailed setting procedures. The input sound has too much latency when monitoring. Use the direct monitoring function. See "6 MONITOR BALANCE knob" in "Front panel" on page 4 for details. The input sound can be heard doubled. Confirm that the input is not set as an output (monitoring on, for example) in the DAW or other recording software. An input signal from an input jack could sound doubled because along with direct monitoring it is also being monitored as an output signal from the computer. TASCAM SERIES 102i / SERIES 208i 31
