Question / Help Røde NT2-A has no voice output

[Baustein]

Hey there!


I'm sorry if this question was already asked somewhere but I'm from Germany and I don't speak English that well. So my problem is that OB does not seem to recognize me speaking.

My microphone is the Røde NT2-A which i've plugged in into my MIDI-Interface (Alesis iO4) with an XLR cable. While trying to record using OB, I'm in Teamspeak with a friend using the same microphone what works just fine. So my computer receives my voice.

In OB, these are my audio-device-settings:

The sound levels show that the inGame- and TeamSpeak-sound is noticed but my microphone seems to just transmit the noise floor of 7dB. When talking, the level of my mic does not change.

When I switch off my interface though, the level drops down to zero what actually makes sense because there's no more noise floor.

Maybe you can tell me why OB seems to get my noise floor but not my voice!? :)





Yours faithfully,
Baustein

MIDI-Interface (Alesis iO4)

Slight correction: that's an audio interface. A MIDI interface is only used for transmitting MIDI data, such as from a MIDI keyboard or other MIDI controllers. For a moment I was really thinking you were trying to connect a microphone to a MIDI interface :')

Anyway, first things first: do you have phantom power enabled? That microphone you bought is a condenser microphone, and that type needs phantom power. There's a switch somewhere on your audio interface.

Thanks for your answer :)

Yes, I've enabled phantom power, otherwise TeamSpeak with my mic would not work either. I'm afraid that's not the solution :(

hey, I'm using an external for an condensermicrophone aswell, is ur phantom voltage on? is the microphone used by any DAW's? ( I guess you know what that is since u have such an microphone :P)

 

[Baustein]

Hey, Gyldendal ;)


Again, yes, phantom power is enabled and no, currently the mic is not used by a DAW because my setup is pretty new and i didn't get so deep in it yet.

Wrong device selected in audio settings? Unfortunately I don't know. You also never posted a log file. You need to post a log file when you have an issue.
