Hi. I am trying to set up Audiolense XO on a MacBook running Windows 10 inside Parallel. I posted a similar question on the Audiolense forum but wanted to see if anyone has a more general opinion about possible options.
My DAC is a 1st gen Scarlett 18i20. It works fine on the Mac, e.g. for REW - measurement mic and monitors are all seamless.
However, inside Parallel, Windows 10 can't find the Scarlett. I've installed the PC driver, but neither the Scarlett MixControl, nor Audiolense, nor the Windows sound control options can locate the interface.
Now, on one level, it doesn't matter - any sound that's played from inside the virtual machine is routed by Parallel out through the Scarlett via my Mac. If I just wanted to listen to Audirvana or whatever, no problem.
However, currently, Audiolense doesn't work. I am assuming this is because it needs to be directly connected to the Scarlett, because the native sound card inside Mac is not right, or not currently set up properly.
I don't know what to do next.
Does anybody have any ideas?
It seems like the broad options are:
1) Find another routing option inside Windows 10 that Audiolense likes. I assume this might be to do with ASIO? Or some other routing software like BlackHole or Element? Is there anything I can do to the sound card to make it work with Audiolense?
2) Try something on Mac that can be exported / routed into Windows Virtual machine? I don't know what this might be.
3) Figure out why the Scarlett 18i20 is not being picked up by Parallel. I have tried a lot of options. I have a horrible feeling it's because it's a 1st generation USB 2.0 interface, just a bit outdated, though if anyone has ideas then I'd love to hear.
