Adjusting the Mix Knob This knob is useful for dealing with "latency" when you are recording in your software. Latency is a delay in sound that may occur between the incoming sound (from the microphone) and outgoing sound (from your computer). Latency is often the result of the "buffer size" setting, which is usually located in your software’s Preferences, Options, or Device Setup menu. Higher buffer sizes generally result in higher latency.
Problem: Solution: Power does not turn on. Make sure AVS’s power input is properly connected to a power outlet using the included power adapter. AVS does not produce any sound, or the sound is distorted. Make sure all cable and device connections are secure and correct. Make sure none of the cables are damaged. Make sure the settings on your loudspeaker, mixer, etc. are correct. Make sure you have selected AVS as an audio playback device in your computer or software.
