Hello everyone, i got confused with the live\_audio. I tried to connect my soundcard to the laptop and then input my mic to the soundcard, but the sound doesn’t came out. I tried to use the laptop build in mic and it works, but when i tried to connect the soundcard again, it still doesn’t work. This is my first time to use the soundcard to use the “Live\_audio”. any suggestion? ---

Hi @R4n, out of interest, which OS are you using? Currently, Sonic Pi has no preference options to choose which audio interface to bind to, so uses the OS defaults. Perhaps changing this to the sound card you wish to use (before booting Sonic Pi) might help? ---

Hello Sam, I currently use Windows 10 for my OS so, should i change the OS or else?
