| Issue | Reference Article |
| Audio is not sent or received in Source-Nexus I/O | If you are experiencing issues with the Nexus I/O plugin not sending or receiving audio, read through the following article for instructions. |
| Cannot send stereo in Zoom using Source-Nexus I/O | Read through this article to learn how to send stereo audio into Zoom using Source-Nexus I/O. |
| Clicks in the audio | If you are hearing clicking when using Source-Nexus I/O, the problem might be related to clocking issues (see below "Clocking issues" section). Clocking issues are caused by sample rate conflicts. Make sure that your hardware devices have the same sample rate (this applies to any devices, including webcams, that you have connected while you are using Source-Connect). If you are a Mac user, check the Audio MIDI Setup to make sure all devices are set to the same sample rate your session has. Also, make sure the audio device input and output are not muted on the Audio MIDI Setup. If you are on Windows, go to Sounds > Recording/Playback > Device > Advanced instead. If the above does not solve the issue, try creating new drivers and using them instead of the default ones (Source-Nexus A and Source-Nexus B). Check out this article for Mac and this article for Windows. |
| Devices missing after a reboot | If you have rebooted your device, and some or all of the Source-Nexus I/O devices created using Source-Nexus Control Panel are not available, go through this article. |
| Deleted Source-Nexus I/O device not removed from your DAW after uninstalling | If you are still seeing the plugin in your DAW after using the uninstaller, make sure to check the plugins folder and manually removing any Source-Nexus folder. For Pro Tools specifically, check both the Avid plugins folder to make sure it is not still there. Also check the Slate folder if the problem persists. |
| Increasing audio latency or drift in Logic Pro X | This can be caused by the plugin latency compensation. Make sure plugin latency compensation is set to "Off" in Logic Pro X -> Preferences -> Audio -> General. |
| Logic does not load the Source-Nexus I/O plugin | To try and fix this, run through the following steps: 1. Restart Logic. 2. Reboot the computer. 3. Update or reinstall iLok License Manager. 4. Delete the plugin cache file at ~/Library/Caches/AudioUnitCache/com.apple.audiounits.cache. 5. Make sure the Source-Nexus I/O license is activated |
| Source-Nexus I/O 1.3 gets stuck and causes Pro Tools to crash | In order to resolve this issue, try trashing your Pro Tools preferences. For Mac, go to ~/Library/Preferences/Avid and delete the “Pro Tools” folder. For Windows, go to %appdata% > Avid and delete the Pro Tools folder. |
