  Katherine KennedyAug 14, 2025
  If your Yamaha Music Mixer isn't outputting audio, ensure the cables are properly connected. Also, verify that you've configured EtherSound settings correctly using AVS-ESMonitor. Check that the output level in DME Designer isn't too low and that the Mute setting is set to Off. Ensure that you haven't designed a scene in DME Designer that mutes audio output. Finally, confirm you're not using a 96 kHz configuration on a device that doesn't support it.
