Listed below are some of the most common problems faced by users using the application
Apollo interfaces and Source-Connect Now
Please note that Apollo interfaces don't officially support Chrome on Windows. On Windows, Apollo devices act just like Generic Plug and Play Windows devices. The manufacturers' audio driver does not provide true cross-program ASIO capabilities and/or windows sharing, so they will only work with one program at a time - even with exclusive mode disabled.
Please try using any other Windows-supported interfaces, including Focusrite, PreSonus, Avid or RME. These manufacturers provide Audio Drivers that are known to be compatible with sharing on Windows and tend to work on Chrome.

Source-Connect Now and Chrome 77
Chrome version 77 has introduced a bug where certain audio devices do not allow you to receive a signal.
In our tests, the workaround is very easy:
- Set your output device in the Source-Connect Now settings drop-down menu to "Built-in output"
- You should now see signal.
- Now you can choose the output device you wish to use.
If you continue to experience issues with the Chrome browser you have two options we can recommend:
- Use the Opera browser: Download Opera
- Use the downloadable, standalone application: Download Source-Connect Now 0.6.5 for Windows and Download Source-Connect Now 0.6.5 for MacOS.
