Does anyone has any issues with this (or any other external audio interface) ?

After updating the device, when connected it freezes for a while and then go back to internal mode....the weird thing is that after downgrading to 2.15.1 the problem now persists....

Any ideas?

You have to use 48kHz in both if I remember correctly.


Yeah, make sure you check this. I had similar issues back when and this was the issue. I have a Model 12 with Key 61 and 3.4.1 and its been fine so far with the settings correct.

Can you please confirm which Firmware you are using in Model 12?

It has to be 48kHz are you sure? Is not not 44kHz and 16 bit?

I don’t have a model 12 (been thinking about buying one for over 1yr now (a want, not a need), I can’t speak on why it’s doing that to you though.

I've managed to solve the issue. For those with problems with Audio Devices not working or behaving oddly FIRST TRY A GOOD QUALITY USB CABLE

I've tried three different cables with the first two of them not working. Those were totally new cables but for some reason the USB cable makes a HUGE difference with the compatibility of class compliant Audio Device.

I hope this helps to everyone reporting strange behavior with their devices and MPC 3.4.1

UGREEN was the brand of the cable that solve my problem.
