Topic: ARC USB standalone mode - how to control volume for fader group?
Hello,
i have the UCX II and use the ARC USB for volume control of a surround set of active speakers. I used it on a Windows PC for some time (the UCX II is connected to the PC via USB). For volume control i have made a fader group in Total Mix to change the volume of all outputs in sync with the main output.
I have now recently bought an Apple TV and an AVR to listen to Atmos tracks on Tidal. I have the pre outs of the AVR connected to the analog inputs of the UCX II and set the routing in Total Mix. So i thought i can use the UCX II for PC as well as for the AVR. For this, i have connected the ARC USB to the USB port of the UCX II. My expectation was, that the UCX II "remembers" what i set up in Total Mix, regardless of having the PC connected or not.
It works as intended as long as the PC is running, but if i shut down the PC, the ARC USB only controls Line out 1/2 and the volume of the other outputs stays as it were. The routing still works, but the fader group doesn´t work anymore.
My workaround is to keep the PC running.
What can i do to control the whole fader group in standalone mode?
Sorry if this has been asked before. I searched, but did not find an answer.
Thanks!
