Music Banter - View Single Post - Microphone not working through Apollo x6, help needed

Hello UAD,

I just rented my first studio yesterday, but have then run into some issues getting the microphone to work.
It's quite a big setup, but to simplify, I can see on the apollo x6, when we speak into the mic that it is connected properly, because the "Line 1" shows the output of the mic.
I then connect the apollo x6 with thunderbolt into my pc, I have the UAD drivers, and audio flows perfectly through, both inside of FL studio, and just standard computer audio.

But the mic isn't working even though I have armed the mixer channel and selected MIC/LINE 1 as input on the mixer channel in FL Studio. I tried actually recording, I tried checking that the external input was on, I tried reinstalling UAD drivers, I tried getting mic to work in other programs.
I have an Apollo Twin X at home, with a ****ty XLR phantom power mic connected and that works fine.

Anyone have any suggestions or know what the issue could be?
I haven't changed any settings in there so everything should be default.
I think the problem lies in either FL Studio or the UAD Console/control panel.
