FAQs
How do I switch between computers manually?
The PlayAUDIO1U is designed for automatic failover. However, you can typically select the active computer within the iConnectivity software.
What happens if both computers fail?
The PlayAUDIO1U cannot provide a failover solution if both computers fail simultaneously. It is important to have a reliable setup on both machines.
How many audio channels does it support?
The iConnectivity PlayAUDIO1U supports multiple audio channels. Consult the product specifications for exact channel counts.
Can I use it with other audio interfaces?
The PlayAUDIO1U is designed to function as a standalone unit. It might be possible to integrate it, but it's designed to be the central audio hub.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, iConnectivity products typically come with a warranty. Please refer to the product documentation or iConnectivity's website for warranty details.
Where can I find the drivers and software?
Drivers and software can be found on the iConnectivity website. Make sure to download the latest versions for your operating system.
What kind of cables are required?
You'll need USB cables to connect to your computers, and audio cables (XLR, 1/4") to connect to your audio output devices. MIDI cables are needed for connecting MIDI devices.
Troubleshooting
No audio output
Check all cable connections, ensure the correct output is selected in your DAW, and verify the PlayAUDIO1U is selected as the audio interface in your computer's audio settings.
Failover not working
Ensure both computers are connected, the iConnectivity software is properly configured, and the backup computer is set up correctly. Test the failover by simulating a computer failure.
MIDI devices not responding
Check the MIDI cable connections. Verify that the MIDI device is correctly configured in your DAW and that MIDI data is being sent.
