9.1 Troubleshooting FAQs


NOTE: While this manual contains some
basic FAQ’s, you will find a much more
detailed FAQ document on the US-428
CD-ROM. The FAQ is also updated on
a regular basis, so we suggest you
check the TASCAM website for the
current version.

Q. I don’t see the US-428 in Cubasis’
Audio Control Panel.
A.
Check to see if the US-428 is
installed correctly within your OS. In
Windows, go to the Device Manager
(My Computer/Control Panel/Setup),
and click on the Sound, video and
Game controllers tab to make sure the
US-428 is installed and operating
correctly. Also check to see that your
USB cable is connected securely, and
that the unit is powered up before
booting Cubasis.

Q. I’ve connected audio to the US-
428, but can’t hear anything.
A.
Make sure your input levels are
sufficient. The green INPUT LED’s
should light to indicate the presence of
analog audio signal at the inputs. Make
sure your monitor or headphone levels
are turned up, and connected correctly.

Q. My audio is distorted.
A.
Check to see if the signal is
overloading. The red OL LED’s should
only occasionally flicker. In the case of
a digital input, try reducing the output
level of the source.

Q. I can see a response on screen
from Cubasis to the US-428, but I
don’t hear any audio.
A.
Make sure your audio signal path is
correctly routed. Make sure the
channels you’re trying to monitor are
not in Input mode. Make sure your
output level is turned up. Make sure
