Okay, so this problem is driving me crazy. Please help!
I don't even know if it's possible to solve this problem, but I can't see why it shouldn't be. Here's the reason: I can get audio from my computer to my headphones via my Maschine. So the audio runs from my computer through the usb-cable to the Maschine and then to the headphones I've connected at the back of the Maschine. So I can't see why it shouldn't be possible to make the audio run in the opposite direction, that is: from the Maschine through the usb-cable and to the computer and then from the computer to my computer speakers.
I've tried changing the audio settings many times in all the various possible constellations: I've changed the settings via the Maschine hardware trying out both the ASIO driver and the two WASAPI drivers in combination with different device selections such as the "high definition audio device" that my computer normally uses, but I've also tried with the Maschine as device. I've also tried to change this via the Maschine software, but with the same results. And I've also tried different combinations output devices in my Windows sound settings. But none of it has worked.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I don't want to go spend money on new speakers to then discover that I didn't need to.
