Sound to light not working

Post by PeteW1959 »

Another newbie here! Freestyler 3.6.51, Sound 2 Light 2.0.0.2

I have 8 simple LED PARs. All of them have 'React to Sound (Random values)' checked.

I have sound to light configured for 'Speakers (SB Audigy) [loopback]'.

When I play a track, the VU in Sound 2 Light is reacting as expected.

I have 'Random DMX Values' selected, and 'Each fixture separately'

If I click the 'Pause' button it changes to 'Running...', and pressing the 'Trigger' button changes all the fixtures to random colours. Great!

However playing a track does nothing, even though Sound 2 Light appears to be reacting, it just doesn't seem to be passing the command to the fixtures.

Is there something simple I haven't enabled?

Maybe you could use the stereomix as recording device and then select that as your oudio source in S2L?
That works here.
In commbination with the DMX400 chaser you can do nice things without too much hassle.

You have "React to sound"and "Use in DMX400" selected when you right-click the fixture(s) ?
