Komplete Audio 6 Mk2 and Windows 11
I saw on the compatibility page that the Komplete Audio 6 Mk2 is compatible with Windows 11, but there are no drivers for Windows 11 on the drivers page. I was considering upgrading to Windows 11, but this put that on hold. Can anyone let me know if there are windows 11 drivers, or if they just install from windows update?

Komplete Audio 6 MK2 - Windows 11 issues with audio playback (distortion, bit-crushing)
I got my Komplete Audio 6 MK2 years ago and used it with a Windows 10 laptop for years, without any audio issues. I currently upgraded to a Lenovo T16 Gen2 Thinkpad (21HH) running Windows 11 Pro, and I've started having issues with audio playback. The interface is directly connected to my laptop via USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port.…
KOMPLETE AUDIO 6 3/4 INPUTS
Hi guys, I just recently bought this new interface mkii, so im kind of curious if someone has managed to use the 3/4 inputs with instruments (guitars, synths) correctly. Since these inputs were desgined to work with balanced signals, i think it will need a DI BOX to operate correctly? But the fact is most DI boxes outputs…
Komplete Audio 6 MK2 is faulty. Warranty service is appalling.
Ever since I bougth a brand new Komplete Audio 6 MK2 it has had a specific problem with the headphones output.

Add direct monitoring through speakers on Komplete Audio 6 mk2?
I have bought this interface a while ago and it's been baffling me ever since I hooked it up why on Earth did you disabled direct monitoring through speakers?!

Komplete Audio 6 Mk. 2 - can inputs be changed to mono in Windows?
Hi, I tried searching the forum and the internet, but to no avail. I have encountered a very common issue with audio interfaces, that my XLR microphone input is only recorded on the left channel. The usual fix would be to change the input settings to mono instead of 2 channels, but it seems that the Komplete Audio 6 Mk. 2…
how to get Kontakt or Logic to receive MIDI input from the Komplete Audio 6.
Hi! I'm a new Audio 6 owner.

Is the Audio 6 supposed…
Komplete Audio 6 MKII giving a mono sound in headphones
Hi, Today I've noticed that my KA 6 MKII is giving me trouble by playing the sound from the headphones in mono.

Cue functionality with Komplete Audio 6...?
The question is, can the KA6 be configured to hear a cue track in Ableton 11? The aim is to hear the metronome in one channel only, or be able to cue in a track that the audience can not hear. I have experimented with different outputs to Cue Out and Master Out in Ableton's master track mixer, along with different switch…

Tips: Fix for getting input 3/4 audio to Main Output - Komplete Audio 6

Found a fix for anyone looking to be able to hear say a synth, etc. they may have routed into 3/4 inputs. You don't need to go through these loopholes of having to have your DAW open and doing routing like some others have…

How to get Kontakt 7 within Logic to receive MIDI input from the Komplete Audio 6.
A while back, I asked "how to get Kontakt or Logic to receive MIDI input from the Komplete Audio 6". That was with the old version of Kontact. I got it working, thanks to help from @Blindeddie. (Thanks again!) I installed Kontact 7 since then, and I just realized I haven't been using it - my Logic projects all use the old…

s88 MK3 keyboard not playing on Kontact, but fine on other VSTs
New computer, new build, new mk3. Updated everything. When using either Komplete Kontrol or Kontakt in Cubase, the knobs and instrument controls work fine, but the actual keyboard doesn't register notes. Some sessions it does, some it doesn't.

Kontakt keeps scanning external drive
Hi all, every time I move from one Kontakt 7 instance to another I can hear my external drive being scanned, so takes 10+ seconds to switch from one track to another. The external drive (not SSD) has no Studio One or Kontakt resources on it so seems to make no sense? I have an SSD drive attached which doesnt cause any lag…

Komlete M32 in Maschine 2, when I loaded a drum kit, all my keys play just one sound
What am I doing wrong? I'm watching a lesson on Youtube of using M32 in Maschine 2. But when I'm loaded a drum kit, I only can play just one sound on all keys. Kit is loaded right way with all instruments. How to set to play it like a kit - different keys play different sound?
