Farplay not receiving my output
-
I’m using a MacBook Pro 13-inch, 2019 with an RME Fireface 800 interface. Farplay seems to not be getting the output from the interface. It shows the Fireface 800 under devices for both microphone & headphone, but the you monitor doesn’t show anything when I play. My group is moving from JamKaZam, first session today. I could join & hear them great but they could not hear me, though they saw me as being on the session. I’ve looked at everything I can think of.

Dear Chris,
Thanks for your post. Please quit FarPlay and open your Mac’s System Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone. Scroll down to FarPlay. Make sure the toggle switch for FarPlay is ON. Reopen FarPlay and check whether you now have microphone input. A link to this solution can be bookmarked at our Troubleshooting Guide (look under “Someone is too quiet or too loud” > “I’m too quiet for other people”).
If that doesn’t work, look in the “You (…)” subpanel in FarPlay’s main window. Use the Channels pull-down menu to try other channels (for example, switching from “Mono 1” to “Mono Mix 1-2” would fix the problem if you just had one mic plugged into your RME Fireface’s input channel 2). If you’d like to bring in audio from several input channels on your Fireface, use FarPlay’s Input Mixer.
Please let us know if you’d like more suggestions.
Thank you,

It was nice to say hello! I’m glad the Input Mixer made the fix easy (below).
In the Devices subpanel, we set the Microphone to Input Mixer.
In the Input Mixer, we clicked the circled plus to create a bunch of tracks. We set the audio device for each track to the Fireface 800. We set different tracks to get audio from different input channels on your Fireface 800, and we successfully got mic audio from channel 7 and guitar audio from channels 8 and 9.
Thank you,
David Liao
