Topic: Fireface UCX 2 No audio!

Just opened the box for the UCX 2 I purchased in February.
Installed, connected ADAT to the 'in', downloaded the latest drivers (and Drivekit) and can't hear any audio.
On a Mac, OSX 13.6.6.
Set system audio to the Fireface but no audio.
Plugged headphones into the 'Phones' jack on the front of the unit, no audio.
I can SEE there's audio in the meters in TotalMix (see screenshot), and I can hear audio when I plug in the 1/4" 1 and 2 outputs on back to my monitors but can't hear anything in the headphones.

In my DAW, I'm able to set the input to the ADAT 4 where my microphone is plugged in, record audio into the DAW but, again, no audio.
Went to the 'Audio MIDI setup' app in mac and was able to do a test on the 'configure speakers' and I can SEE that test in the levels in Totalmix but, again, no audio.

Kind of stressing here as I've switched out my UA Apollo for this unit and am starting to think this upgrade was a mistake.
Got a session on Thursday (it's Tuesday) and I'd like everything to be ready by then.
PLEASE HELP.
Thank you

Re: Fireface UCX 2 No audio!

in the image the Main-out is active.
Click left side of it into the Phones 1 to make it active (highlighted).
Pull up faders of the software playback channels 1/2 (where the signal is).

you have to route signals to the headphone. This interface is very complex. Lots of input channels that can be routed to the headphone.

YES! Thank you!
Where would be a good place to start for those of us uninitiated with the Fireface and TotalMix?

On youtube, with all videos you can find under Totalmix or Synthax.
also here in the forum is a good place to start, as you did.
Put the specific problem in words and the community will help you out.
Give some informations, computersystem, driver verson, etc.

"No audio" where? Playback or recording?
