When this guide applies

Exact Scarlett Solo 4th Gen, Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen or original Universal Audio Volt 2 on supported Windows, with its matching ASIO driver already installed. Stopped existing Live session; accept changing its route. Select driver/device and physical input by the actual model. No driver installation, Gen 2/Max/876 Volt Console features or assumed microphone channel.

Connection scope: USB audio. Symptom: Sound goes to the wrong output.

This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.

If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
