Questions and answers
no headphone sound but it's connected
The issue occurs because the MASCHINE 2 software's audio output settings are not correctly configured. By default, the software may assign the output to "Main Left" and "Main Right" instead of "Headphone Left" and "Headphone Right." Changing these settings in the MASCHINE software resolves the issue.
