Microphone Recievers

JacobFournier · 29 Aug 2015

Hey guys, this is sorta a strange question. And maybe what I'm trying to do isn't possible - but I feel like it is.

I have an Audio-Technica Freeway 200 Series ATW-R250 VHF Receiver.. It has a wireless microphone that connects to it and it will transfer the sound through an amp or speakers, etc. Well, I have a AF sound to USB chord that I use to connect my guitar to my computer....

I connected the AF cable to the receiver and plugged it into my computer. The microphone works great, it transfers the sound to my computer with the no problem.

But, here's the issue. When the microphone is plugged in no sound is transmitted through my headphone jack... I can only hear sound again once I unplug the USB... Any clue on how to properly configure my settings so that I could use the microphone and hear sound through my computer at the same time?

And when I mean sound, I mean every sound - like YouTube, etc won't play sound until the USB is plugged.

If anyone has any solution that would be great!

Thanks!

I don't know if this is possibly your problem, but when Audacity wouldn't work on a new Windows 10 install, I found there were some disabled and hidden audio devices in the Control Panel.

Here is how I made them visible and was then able to access them in Audacity. Maybe this will help you.

Right Click on the Start Button, select Control Panel, select Hardware and Sound, under Sound select Manage Audio Devices, select Recording, Right Click in the center of the Sound pop-up menu and make sure Show Disabled Devices is checked. Hidden Disabled devices can now be selected, Right Clicked on and Enabled, etc.
