Default Re: How can I make Windows sound louder when using Pro Tools?

Audio interfaces are easy to find. Here is a link to just one audio dealers website. There are dealers worldwide.

Those Alto's are more like guitar or PA cabinets. After getting a proper audio interface, next thing you need to do any real studio work is a pair of powered studio monitors:

Also, I just want to make 100% sure we're on the same page. I use ASIO4ALL. If I understand correctly, this piece of software allows your soundcard to dedicate itself entirely to Pro Tools (this reduces latency significantly). A consequence of this, is that if Pro Tools is open, and you then play a something on Youtube for example, you will hear no sound from the Youtube video. With this in mind, do you still believe I need a mixer?
1. As we've all been suggesting, use an audio I/O interface for Pro Tools, and use the Windows audio out for system sounds.
2.When using a proper audio I/O interface for Pro Tools, you will NOT use ASIO4ALL but instead install the driver specifically written for the I/O interface. Here's a good overview: https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/au...-buying-guide/
3. As we've all been advising you - to get the best results - you really need an audio I/O interface AND studio reference monitors. (I suppose you could skip the studio reference monitors and use excellent studio-grade headphones instead.)

Hope this helps!!!
