Such audio issues can be frustrating, but they are usually quickly resolved. In this guide, you will learn step by step how to ensure that the sound from your media source is being output correctly.

Key Takeaways

• Check the settings of your media source in the mixer.

Step-by-Step Guide

First, you must ensure that you have added the correct media source. To do this, go to "Sources" in the top left of the program and select the plus symbol to add a new source.

Once you have selected the desired file, click on "Done". You will see on the right side of the mixer that your media source has now been created.

It is important to note that even though the mixer shows that the sound is playing, you may not hear any sound. To fix the issue, go to the gear icon in the top right of the mixer.

Here, select the option "Media Source". Make sure that you change the setting of "Monitoring" from "Monitoring" to "Monitoring and Output".

This change should allow you to immediately hear the sound coming from your media source. To ensure everything is working correctly, make the adjustment and test the sound.

If you have set everything up correctly, you should now be able to hear the sound. If you still hear no noise, check the source and audio levels again for further possible issues.
