Information that I received from Behringer. If you toggle the red 2-tr/usb buttons, then it will fix the issue. Connect the USB connection from the mixer to your computer. You will need to select the 2TR/USB to CTRL ROOM button so that the computer output will be routed away from the main mix to the CTRL ROOM output. Do not press the 2TR/USB to MAIN button. You will want to connect the control room outputs to your power amp or powered speakers and control your monitoring level via the CTRL ROOM knob.
You will be able to monitor through the speakers or the headphones. The USB interface built into the mixer is class compliant under Windows and uses core audio driver on a Mac. This means that it doesn't need a driver to be installed when used with Windows XP or Mac OS X. The interface built into the mixer uses the generic Microsoft USB driver, which is built in to Windows XP. The interface built into the mixer doesn't have to have a driver of it's own at all. XP From the Start menu in Windows XP, go to control panel sounds & audio devices select audio.
Set your default sound playback to USB Audio Codec. Also set the default recording to USB Audio Codec. Vista From the Start menu in Windows Vista, go to control panel sounds. Set your playback to USB Audio Codec. Also set the recording to USB Audio Codec.
In addition you will need to select what interface is assigned in your recording software. There should be some kind of preferences menu or options menu to select it. Refer to the users manual of your recording software for more information. You can download Audacity from the BEHRINGER website.
Alternately, you can get Audacity directly from Sound Force. Go into the edit preferences menu of Audacity. In the Audio I/O menu, here you can select the playback device and recording device. This is where you select the USB interface. In the recording section, you will want to have the channels selection set to 2(stereo). Please help stupid overhere. Connecting my laptop to mixer (usb),using audacity, 'preference' setting done blah blah blah all done.
Problem is this. To get the input signal to audacity,you need to toggle the 2 usb/ buttons,BUT if you set them to get input,theres no output to the mixer and speakers,soooooo,if you've recorded something and you want to add backing vocals or whatever,you cant hear the previous recording PLAYING while doing the RECORDING.
Is there ANY way to setup in order to change this? O.k,another problem. After reading 'tmwilson's' post properly,I changed my setup to record and monitor,which works 'o.k'. While recording,I monitor the recording through headphones (volume control through 'control room' knob) while playing the audio track through the main output. (1832usb mixer,XP on laptop,Audacity) BUT, 2 issues. Is it seems to 'double' all the sound, headphone and speakers. If I 'slide up' the input level,it mutes the audio output and if I 'un-mute' it,it 'slides' the input back to zero,all this automatically.
Audacity or soundcard issue? Any suggestions? Hello everyone, I am also facing an issue with my Behringer X1832USB 18-Input Mixer where I am unable to get an audio signal to my laptop for recording. However, this worked few times for me initially when I started. Computer can send audio signals (when you play some music file) to mixer which I can hear through the mixer output. But there is no signal coming from mixer to laptop at all.
I am using Windos XP and have correctly set the default device in control panel, sounds and audio devices to USB for paly back and recording. Can someone please advice me how to fix this problem?

Make sure that the '2-TR to Main' is in the up position, the Mode is in control room, 2-TR/USB and Main in source are in the down position, and make sure your speakers are in the countrol room outs. TO simply play a file through your main output speakers, put the 2-TR to Main in the up position. (red buttons) This is for recording purposes. If you are only trying to listen or play music through use the second option, but for recording, you pretty much have to use the first.
