However, to make it fully operational like enabling the second input , you need to install some software. We made it was made it continues to work well. I'm pondering a clear low latency advantage. The output resistors circled in not working. The behringer uca is an ultra-compact, bus-powered interface that can link a windows or mac computer with any audio gear.
The applications for the behringer uca usb audio interface are practically limitless. If you appreciate what i do and would like to shout me a.
Behringer u-control uca liked by users. The uca audio engine kristal audio codec in. So, we made it easy, providing a single place for you to download lots of free software including, audacity is an easy-to-use audio editor and recorder for windows, mac os x and linux operating systems.
Audacity is identical to line in It is identical to the uca except the uca has a grey case and a green led. I imagine that the optical out only pipes through signals. Behringer moved is manufacturing plant to china in the early s, where it continues to operate today.
Behringer uca linux driver download - the time now is the 2nd port on the front seems less used. Connect your instruments, mixer, or microphone to these interfaces. Use them as professional interfaces between your mixer and your console by connecting it to the RCA outputs on your devices.
For instance, connect the tape input jacks on your mixers with RCA cables or connect powered monitors to the input channels. If you have 8-track tapes, your player may not have the standard stereo jacks, but it probably has an RCA-style connector. There is no setup or special drivers needed. Using a local music using Audacity because Audacity. Missing or corrupt SoundCard Drivers can cause problems such as No Sound or crackled or distorted sound.
Driver Update Utility for better sound. View our driver software index and locate your interface s manufacturer. These problems could also be the result of improper configuration or incompatible hardware. Alberta Business Supplies. Still nothing, User's Manual Product information of the forums.
Unfortunately, not only are there no drivers included with the UCA itself, but also the download page no longer includes drivers. Hence me wanting to music products. Might make at least a private message to storminheaven. Is it recomended to use the headphone output from uca as source to avoid to high voltage input to the e5 amp ore the line output..
This has been discussed already, but if you already have a UCA adding the E5 is a great improvement. If you don't need the volume control, I would use the line outputs if possible. I'll soon be reviewing the E6 which should be an even better choice.
There are potentially some better options--especially for higher impedance headphones. Hi, I just bought a pair of Audioengine A2 and was wondering if this unit will work well with my pc? I purchased yesterday a Fii0 D3 and was not impressed after noticing a loss in bass and separation.
I've never tested the D3 so it's hard to say if the UCA may be better. But it shouldn't have any obvious flaws besides perhaps some noise if you crank the speakers way up. That might be an even better option than the UCA Thanks NwAVGuy for the response.
I was never a fan of Creative sound devices after comparing them to the Aureal Vortex cards several years back. But maybe this product you mention might convince me; however, i just can't imagine connecting it to the Realtek audio onboard of my pc mobo with more noticeable improvements. Anyhow, what I'm really searching for is a DAC that will accept a coax or optical input from my pc and, yet, be able to decode any 5.
When I played itunes using the Fii0 d3 and then switched to Win 7 Media Center to watch a film, there was a loud continuous break up and static noise. I'm unsure now if the sound of my speakers got affected or damaged by that condition Anon, if you're not happy with your on-board audio, I'd suggest you just stop using it entirely. Get a USB 5. Both require DSP and licensing. I know you can do that with many other media players for Windows. But that's true of most anything you might buy to do the same thing.
Because adding a box in the middle forced an additional digital audio clock reconstruction, even with a high-end product like the relatively expensive Music Fidelity V-Link, there will likely be more jitter than a properly designed self contained USB DAC. You can't harm your DAC using the wrong digital especially optical signal. Optical is the best way to go for computer audio to isolate the computer ground from your audio system's ground. Great work here. I do hear "mouse scrolling" noise and other digitally generated noise from the phono outputs.
I would be very curious to know how and Ipod using an LOD would stack up to a dac like this. Heck maybe we dont even need a dac at this level of the game.
Would there really be a noticible differnce switching back and forth blind? While my "online" test had some serious limitations, people generally could hear a difference and preferred the DAC1 over the UCA My own listening trials support that. That's for the one spending the money to decide.
The DAC1 is well past the point of diminishing returns in terms of sound quality. I believe it's possible to spend a lot less and not hear a difference in blind testing. And some of the extra DAC1 money goes towards very solid build quality. I can't speak for other iPod flavors. And the iPod has a much better headphone output. Thanks for this review. It contains way more information about the UCA than what I've found elsewhere.
I bought one of these units with the intent of connecting it via optical out to a Benchmark DAC1. However, it seems as if I'm not getting any optical signal from the UCA since the DAC1 isn't locking onto any signal error led is on. Or perhaps I have a faulty unit? Or maybe I'm missing some configuration step? Thanks for your time and help! If anyone else has any suggestions feel free to post them here. Thank you for your article.
Yesterday a bought UCA and the record quality is good. But I couldn't test measure the technical data of sound quality due to some unexpected problems. First of all I had very different signal levels beetween Left and right channels, also I heard the silent high frequency noise in my head's telephones in monitor on mode.
I tried to do some faders and balance combinations in windows mixer, but it gave no any good result. RMAA has many problems and results like yours are not uncommon. It has a terrible headphone output too high of impedance.
I also have had many problems with the E-Mu proprietary drivers it requires. There are now much better audio interfaces. I have a future article planned on audio interfaces.
Terrible headphone out? I mean, it's for professional audio, which usually involves higher impedance headphones. The 's headphone output is, if I remember correctly, at least 22 ohms. That means it's only suitable for headphones over about ohms. It's not just the Most all pro audio interfaces I've tested have really cheap headphone outputs.
They're just designed for casual monitoring, not critical listening. Alright, fair enough. I do notice that doesn't have as high a voltage swing as I'd like for my hds, but I don't notice any distortion.
A flat impedance curve would mean the output impedance doesn't really matter i. Also, what if you're using IEC ohm equalized headphones? Ben, first of all, did you read the information at the two links above? Even with a flat impedance curve you're likely to see higher distortion and potentially inferior damping. The UCA is also woefully short on output power for any planars I know of so they're not even an option in this case.
As for the mythical "IEC ohm" headphones, do you have an example of an audiophile-grade semi-popular current production headphone that specifically states it's designed for a ohm output impedance? I'm not aware of any.
I'm a hard rock fan and I'm not looking for a precision instrument dessecting the music. I must have a DAC which is nice to the highs and hammers the lows as a piston. Dynamics is everything. So, what do you think? Is it lively enough for my purposes? I'm sorry for not being able to choose among the "comment as", simply because I do not know how Hope it is ok with a anonymous Otherwise you may want to consider the Creative X-Fi Go Pro for lower impedance headphones under ohms or the Asus Xonar U3 for headphones ohms and higher.
All three have vastly better headphone outputs than the UCA If the headphone output isn't critical, and price is, I would recommend the Behringer without hesitation. I wouldn't have found it without your great blog - thanks again. I bought mine about a year ago, and I'm glad to see that I made the right move.
Hi NwAvGuym, What a great review! I can not get audion out via the USB in a standalone mode i. Just get silence. Have a bought the wrong piece of kit in the UCA? Are you meant to be able to derive an analog stereo output and an optical output from the USB port?
What format if the digital audio meant to be PCM stereo? It seems such a simple device and it has connected seamlessly to the Win7 system. Maybe I have misunderstood its intend application and it is an input device and requires analog audio input to derive the analog and optical outputs.
Have I missed something? Appreciate any feedback. Thanks and regards, Ian. Without installing any Windows drivers you should get audio from both the Line Out jacks and headphone jack of the UCA Whatever player you're using is configured for a different audio output device like your Mac's built-in audio. The fact you're getting audio out of the Mac's analog output implies this is true.
Windows will normally only send audio to one device at a time from a given software application like Windows Media Player. If the Mac's audio is working that means no audio is being sent to the UCA You might have your analog connections wrong or the volume turned all the way down on the UCA Thanks NwAvGuy, I didn't realise that only one audio output was valid. I wrongly assumed that the USB and the other audio were supported at the same time Thanks for taking the time to reply and so promptly.
You are the bollocks Thanks again Regards, Ian. You can't just que up a track and play it on two audio devices at the same time allowing switching back and forth between them in real time. I ended up writing my own software to do that.
As a musician, audiophile, audio engineer, and electrical engineer too many hats, I know , I appreciate that good sounding audio equipment will measure well in the lab and vice versa. Thanks for contributing so marvelously to the science side of audio gear reviews.
A word on the Behringer A power amp mentioned above: I have two of them in my studio and agree they are great amps, providing loads of value to the listener on a budget. I ran into one problem with them, though.
At first I thought it must be in the recording we're talking rock music here, after all, where distortion is often added in the mix for effect , but the passage sounded clean on all other listening devices I tried it on. And my other A gave the same result. Switched to a big Crown power amp I had lying around, and the Polks sounded clean as a whistle through that passage. I was careful that the only variable was the power amp. Plus both As played the passage cleanly through other speakers, across a range of listening levels.
The As drove the Polks cleanly for everything else I played through them, at all levels. Just that one passage Could the A be sensitive to some atypical load impedance at a certain frequency range in the Polks? Some interaction seems to throw the A out of its normal operating range into high distortion mode, relatively speaking - I'd guess at least several percent distortion, maybe more, and its "ratty" nature suggested it might be IM distortion.
