Getting Mic/FM to work?


#1

Hey there! I’m trying to play around with FM with version 6 pre 2 on Windows 10. I can’t get any audio when I press ‘Mic’. The scheme I’m using is iTunes --> VB audio Virtual Cable (set for the right bitrate, Mono) --> OsciStudio. I know the virtual cable is working (since I can use it in Ardour, etc.). OsciStudio lets me select the Virtual Cable from the input pulldown menu, and doesn’t complain about it, but no sound appears once I’m into OsciStudio and press ‘Mic’ on a channel (whether or not the channel has a shape selected already). Am I missing something basic (or not-so-basic)?

I don’t see anything in terminal log, but I don’t really know what I’m looking for. (I suppose the fact that it’s shouting “DYING” at me is interesting. I took this to be a timely reminder of the human condition and my own mortality.) Here it is the output:

ok!

hey!

in the log i also can’t see anything where something is obviously wrong. i will try to install audiocables tomorrow and see if i can reproduce this myself!


#3

hey! did you ever get this to work?


#4

I’m not OP but I have the same issue.
I’ve been dying to get it to work as it would be amazing to have for live visuals, I couldn’t find anyone mentioning it online until now.
Does the mic input work for you ?

I have been trying to have Mic working on windows without any luck.
Tried with the built-in microphone, and with two external soundcards without any success.

Made a quick test on a Mac and I can only have the built-in mic working.
The external sound card is not working.

This was the main feature I really enjoyed having in this software and it is not working!! :frowning:
