At2020 Not Picking Up Sound



At2020

Welcome to the KOMPLETE AUDIO 1 Quick Start Guide.
You will learn how to use the KOMPLETE AUDIO 1 for audio playback and recording. If you have some experience already, feel free to jump straight into any section using the navigation above. For beginners, we recommend spending some time reading through the whole guide.
First take a look at the features to get an overview:

AT2020 plugged into the UM2 via XLR. UM2 plugged into my Windows 10 PC via the provided USB cord. I downloaded the 64 bit driver from the Behringer's website for the UM2 and installed it. I have the 48v switch on the UM2 on and have the gain to about 50%. However, looking in the sounds setting menu, I'm not getting any sound from the AT2020. For a few days Steam doesn't pick up my microphone anymore, which is annoying when playing online games like DayZ or Arma. My mic is a AT2020 XLR plugged to a Behringer Xenyx 820 and a Asus Xonar D1 Soundcard Win 10 64 bit. It all worked perfectly fine until 2 days ago when I switched from my USB mic. The frequency range offered by the product is top-notch and this provides it a great quality sound that is tough to match. The AT2020 uses a cardioid pickup pattern. So if you are recording sounds directly in front of the mic it would not pick up any adjoining sounds. However, ensure that your mouth needs to be fairly close to the device. So we do the sound check, and he complains, so we swap their mics for ours and the monitors honk, HF goes up, and my 86 takes people's heads off and they reset many of the things set on the smell set. Same brand, same model - not all 58s are equal. If you have a dull one, or a bright one, your opinion of them changes.

Audio-Technica AT2020 USB+V. They pick up any sound! In this guide, we have tracked down the most popular condenser microphones for you.

Hi,
I just received the device today and followed the instruction in installing the drivers, as well as Studio One. As far as I'm aware, everything installed with no trouble.
However, the main reason I bought it was to use my Audio-Technica AT2020 Cardioid condenser mic and that's where the issue comes in. Plugging it into the 1 slot with the XLR, and turning the phantom power supply on with the '48V' button and the mic appears to be picking up nothing. Turning it up slowly it still appears to pick up no sound until I finally have it all the way up, in which I get quite a lot of feedback through my headphones which are plugged into the Audiobox, and only now is the mic picking up my snapping fingers, or voice, but only being right next to the microphone itself.
I have no idea why this issue is occurring, from both tutorials and manuals it seems it should be picking up sound created without having to turn it all the way up to get the horrible feedback which entirely beats the point. A video I watched the guy just plugs it in and right off the bat it works perfectly in picking his voice up.
The weirdest thing about all this is when I turn the power for the mic off by clicking the '48V' button, for a moment the mic starts picking up everything perfectly at the levels it should be from the start, though this will start to fade and soon the mic picks up absolutely nothing again. I figured this would be that the power is still lingering and obviously 'dying' down but I'm baffled in how turning the power off, for those few seconds, the mic acts the way in which it should be doing.
I've looked around on these forums, posts and videos for anything similar to this and I found nothing. I've worked with a friend to try numerous things to check any other problem, such as the XLR wire being at fault but plugging the mic back into my old set-up, a phantom power supply to 3.5 jack, it works fine again. So the wire seems fine, the audiobox seems fine as using it to listen to my PC audio works perfectly.
This has plagued me all day, I really hope I can get a solution to this soon. I've submitted a ticket already with my issue, and if nothing is solved I'll have to ring tech support on the Monday during working hours.
Sorry for any bad grammar or misunderstanding in my text, I hope I made it as clear as possible.
Kind regards, Eden.

I have a similar problem. My brand new USB 96 is not working at all with Phantom power mics, but works fine with other mics, guitars etc. Of course I have the 48V button pressed first, but no luck. HELP!
