Hello everyone!! I just wanted to say im so sorry for being inactive and not streaming these past few days, I have a little bit of an update for anyone thats been busy of the timeline of events as to why I havent been able to!!
- on my last proper stream, super metroid, my microphone stopped working out of nowhere
- I wasnt able to fix it and it was happening intermittently throughout my streams after many tests
- I figured it was my audio interface finally kicking the bucket (if anyone is unaware, my audio interface- a focusrite scarlette solo, has been going robotic throughout streams for months now, and I figured it finally died)
- I ended up purchasing a new audio interface, a Solid State Logic SSL 2 MK2 2x2
- Took it home and plugged it in, my keyboard and mouse turned off
- figured it was due to a power issue and decided to buy a powered USB port to use for it
- Bought the powered USB port and it was a low end one that wasnt able to power it
- finally got it working after unplugging everything from my PC besides my keyboard and mouse
- did multiple tech support streams trying to get it to sound good
- Once I got it working, it was creating a terrible buzzing noise when I spoke
- There is still not enough power from my PC for it to work... it was too heavy duty
- Realised this new interface was mostly for creating music with instruments and not really for streaming
NOW I gotta return my previous audio interface and buy one my friend recommended to me, thats not gonna mess up. Im going to be doing it tomorrow morning.
To sum it up, audio interfaces are hard and finicky to use, im so sorry this was super out of my control. ALL I WANNA DO IS STREAM!!!
Thank you so much for your patience everyone, I’m hoping to be back to regular scheduled programming the day after tomorrow!
