Beringer sound card on usb issue
 
Well it says that they now require y you to download the software from the
web site. The trouble is, I've just spent a good half hour over there going
around in circles. No sign of a nice obvious package to download with the
drivers in it.
The item is...
Behringer UFO202 U

There lots of variations to this basic unit from what I can tell, but
following links to downloads seems to get me to pages with lists of all
sorts of stuff on it but none of them matches what I put above, and even if
it did, selecting from the list seems to throw me back out of the download
pages.
I suspect there is something inaccessible on that web site for the blind,
so if anyone has the drivers that work for xp and 7, perhaps you could
either publish a direct link to the download or perhaps a dropbox link to
the ones you are using.
I've been on the site with both FF and IE, but get the same run around. I'd
wager there is some stupid graphic or snazzy download control which I cannot
hear on their site!

Hi I have bought from amazons one of their sound adaptors with phonos on
the back in the hope of being able to use it for recording line level
stuff, and output line level stuff. Info is quite vague on the
instruction leaflet, but it suggests it has a cd with it, but none was
sent as it seems to work when you plug it in. Or should I say not work.
The output from the phone output sockets seems to be very low indeed so
am I missing something here. I note it has an input switch which seems
to allow a standard pick up to be used or line level signals. It also
has an output for headphones with a volume, but surely the output from
the phono out sockets should be at least as loud as the socket on the
original internal sound card?


Am I missing something vital??


I recently bought a toslink to phono adaptor that ran off USB volts (5v)
And the output from that was low too.

Or just go to the behringer.com downloads page, type 'ufo202' into the
'Product' search box and select 'drivers' from the 'Type' menu.

It comes up with ASIO4ALL_2_13_English.exe - not hidden at all.

I used a UFO202 recently on W7 and the only difficulty was the
bloody awful W7 mixer/volume control. It's not at all obvious how to
choose the right device, disable the others and control the record level.

Well that is because you can see it. I have done exactly that and can find
nothing like what you suggest at all. Is it in some kind of pop up or flash
object?

OK I'll look later on. The problem seems to be the last stage as nothing
ever seems to come up if I do what the other message in this thread says.
Remember that what may seem to be right in the middle for a sighted person
could be anywhere on the page for a screenreader if the page has been ill
designed or has some kind of javascript or flash/pop up embedded on it. I
have encounterd some download sites using transparent flash, which will
never be accessible t a blind user.

Brian if the device you have is a Behringer U-Phono UFO202, then no
drivers are needed for full functionality, the software mentioned is
just a copy of Audacity and a couple of other freeware audio programs.

From what the manual says and from my experience with one a couple of
years ago, (which ended when I dropped and then stood on it.) then the
audio output level pretty much mirrors the input level, if the output
is low then so is the input.

No the issue is that the screenreader I'm using is ok on the internal sound
card but is far below any usable level on the device and this goes for
system sounds as well.
It seems to me that there is no ability on the current control panel to
alter all of this for the new hardware.
I don't use Audacity aas I have a registered copy of Goldwave which I find
works better for me.
I had expected it to work like a cheap sound card I have from creative
where when you plug it in, it downloads drivers and the just works. Sadly
the creative is only really meant for output and only has a mono input.
The Beringer surely should work the same way as its line level output.
Obviously something is restricting it tht i cannot control.

As has already been explained: The problem is probably with your OS or
choice of user software. The Behringer USB device doesn't have a USB
control over its levels. It has no software "line level control" so far as
I know. The one I tested showed no sign of one.

Nor should any 'driver' be needed if your OS can cope with the standard USB
Audio Class 1. But I have no idea if XP supports Class 1 because I don't
use it. Someone else would have to comment on that.

I used a UFO202 recently in Windows 7 - it worked perfectly at line levels.
Now I think about it, I probably didn't install ASIO4ALL and the only
real problem
was getting the mixer to select the correct device. The first time I
tried it
I was recording through the laptop's microphone instead of the UFO201's
line-in.

I'll try it again next week and make some notes.
