Mixer Setup Problems

[RFU]

So, I ended up with a Phonic MU 802 mixer

This is a schematic of the ports on the mixer



And I set it up according to this, matching the colors



And because I had the monitor speakers plugged into the soundcard, I plugged them into a USB sound card

Nothing worked and no stream was going to the internet. And RadioDJ said I don't have a soundcard installed when it starts up.

So, I unplugged the mixer and plugged the monitor speakers back into the soundcard.

The monitor speakers work and RadioDJ is broadcasting to the internet but when it starts up it still says no sound card is installed.

The soundcard is

Pink = mic
Blue = line
Green = spk1
Orange = spk2
Black = spk3

How do I get this working?

[RFU]

This has turned into a complete  fucking disaster 

Now RadioDJ doesn't see my soundcard

All drivers have been updated in an attempt to fix the problem

I can't import anything

I can't change any soundcard settings. If I try I get an error
************** Exception Text **************
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

If I click on quit, it quits the program
If I click on continue, it plays to the end of the current song and then can't find anything and needs to be restarted

When it starts I get
InvalidArgument=Value of '-101' is not valid for 'selectedIndex'
Parameter name:SelectedIndex
Unhandled exception

In the windows playback devices can you see the sound card? RadioDJ is using the devices reported by Windows.

[RFU]

Yes,device manager and AIMP see it

For some reason I can't make any changes in RadioDJ or it crashes

Marius, is that going to work?

You'll never know until you try it...

Another thing, RadioDJ only accept the settings if you close it and restart it. Than the sounddevices should be in the audio setup of RadioDJ. Now some cards need to have a connector put in it. If the on board soundcard is active but nothing is in the output connector, RadioDJ won't see it. First try to put a headphone jack in the on board sound output. If it works, you have to disable the on board soundcard.

After the restart it is possbile you can select the "external" audio board. If you still can't see it, check the drivers. Put audio jacks in the outputs and try. If it works, DON'T! pull out one of the jacks otherwise it will crash on you because there is "no audio device to play audio to".

[RFU]

It's been restarted many times and that doesn't help

The jacks may (probably) have been unplugged while it was running when I was trying to install the mixer. So that obviously caused the crash and "no audio device to play audio to". But it's been restarted many times since then. Should't the soundcard have "reset" in radiodj?

Yes that is true but if you leave the audio jack out of the audio connection, it won't see the audiodevice and it wont start or crash out. You need to have the jack inserted in the main output that RadioDJ uses, like "front left and right". Some of the "external ( PCI or PCIe ) cards do exactly the same and sence if an audio jack is inserted.

Well, it does have the monitor speakers plugged into it, and it still crashes

Right now it's configured exactly the same way it was before I tried to hook up the mixer

I can hear the station in the monitors, and it is broadcasting to the internet. But, I still can't add new content or make any changes to the soundcard settings

The problem with new content just cropped up last week on the 28th. it was on the 24th that I tried to install the mixer.
Since then I've upgraded from MySQL to MariaDB and while that fixed some DB problems I was having, it didn't do anything for the soundcard problem

I would sugest to unzip RadioDJ again and overwrite the files exept the "XML" files in the root folder. Maybe the "BASS.ddl" could be damaged so try this and see if this could work.

[RFU]

I get the new USB soundcard tomorrow. I'll try that and if it doesn't work, I'll do as you suggest

And if THAT doesn't work, then it's a complete reinstall, losing almost a years worth of work

[RFU]

So, I installed the new soundcard and drivers and after a reboot, RadioDJ didn't find it, and crashed when I looked at Options > Soundcards

I was going to overwrite everything but decided to try overwriting the soundcard xml with the "out of the box" one. That solved the problem. I guess the xml file was corrupted.

Now, I have the mixer plugged in according to the previous image. Can someone tell me what to set under Options > Soundcard?
