I just bought the MPC Live 2 and out of no where the audio stopped working externally no matter the connection type whether its being run externally or through the onboard speaker. I was wondering if anyone had this issue and how to resolve it. This is extremely frustrating since I literally haven't used it more than 2 hours!

If you turn your speaker on (via the switch in the back), do you have any audio that way? Are you sure your volume isn't turned down or your master isn't muted? If not, I'd wager you just happened to get a bum unit and should return it ASAP or exchange it.

Yea I have done all of those unless theirs some special way to other than turning the knob or an internally to mute the master volume and it works fine as a controller into my Mac.

Well yes - you can mute the master - so I'd check that. But it sounds like you got a bum unit otherwise - return it ASAP and exchange it. Luck of the draw, I suppose.
