  There are several reasons why your Alesis Speakers might not be working: * Ensure the speakers are plugged into a working power outlet. * Verify the speakers are powered on; the blue LED should be lit. * Confirm the speakers are properly connected to a functioning USB port on your computer. * Avoid using USB hubs; connect the speakers directly to your computer. * Check if headphones are plugged in, as this will disable the speaker output. Disconnect them to listen through the speakers. * Make sure the volume knob is turned up to an audible level.

What to do if I am experiencing distortion when recording from external sources on my Alesis 320USB?

  If you're getting distortion while recording from external sources with your Alesis Speakers, it could be due to a couple of things. First, the gain levels of your input sources might be too high, so try turning them down. This is especially important when using multiple sources because the inputs on the rear panel of the speakers are summed together before going to your computer. Also, make sure that software monitoring is turned off to prevent feedback loops and distortion.

What to do if my software DAW is not “seeing“ the Alesis 320USB Speakers?

  Charles LopezAug 4, 2025
  If your software DAW doesn't recognize the Alesis Speakers, it might be because the speakers were connected after the software was launched. Some configurations require audio and MIDI devices to be connected before starting software applications. Try restarting the application with the speakers plugged in and powered on.

What to do if I am experiencing a lot of latency or “lag“ with Alesis 320USB Speakers?

  If you're experiencing latency or lag with your Alesis Speakers, the buffer size in your software might be set too high. Try lowering the buffer size in your software's audio settings or preferences. Also, consider downloading the free ASIO4ALL driver from www.asio4all.com, as it may help achieve better results under extremely low latency settings if the class-compliant audio drivers are insufficient.

  If you're experiencing audio dropouts and glitches with your Alesis Speakers, it could be because the buffer size in your software is set too low. Extremely low buffer sizes can cause your computer to work harder than it can, leading to these issues. Try selecting a higher buffer size in your software to resolve this problem.
