Troubleshooting

The mute indicator lamp is blinking
• The sampling rate setting differs from that set in the "Playback" or "Recording" tab on the Windows PC you are
using or in the "Output" or "Input" tab on the Mac you are using. Match the sampling rate settings. For details on
the settings, refer to "Computer settings (Windows)" (p. 10) or "Computer settings (macOS)" (p. 35).

Automatic gain control does not work
• Automatic gain control is available only when the sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, or 96 kHz. If
the sampling frequency is set to a sampling frequency that cannot be used, the Automatic gain control indicator
lamp will blink three times and turn off (indicating an error). Set to a supported sampling frequency.
