I don't know the amplifier in question, but I assume that it must have a line output at the back, from which it can be jacked out and thus plugged into the front of the interface. If this is not the case you will have to record the amp with a microphone directly from the front, which will also plug into the front of the interface. I hope I have helped you!
As far as I'm concerned, I have a Mac Mini M1 and I plugged the Focusrite directly into the USB and it works without any problems. I had a Focusrite of another generation (equivalent model) 10 years ago that I plugged into a 2013 iMac and the Plug&Play worked without a problem. For me it works perfectly and as long as your MacBook has a sound card capable of processing the information, I think it should be possible
Unfortunately, the KRK Rokit 8 RP4 always produces noise, regardless of the interface. I have the same setup and it works fine, just with the standard noise. The important thing is that the Scarlett has a symmetrical 6.3mm jack connection and the KRK prefer a symmetrical signal to an asymmetrical one. So make sure you use a 6.3mm TRS to XLR and not a mono jack.
I hope this helps you.

Hello, with the software that comes with the product you can do this, now you have to install it. No need for an adapter, you connect directly to the Focusrite, it accepts jacks and XLR at the same time.
Hello, you need to connect both the left output of the interface and the right output to the Mackie CR4-X. If you look at the back of the corresponding Mackie speaker, you will see that there are also corresponding inputs (i.e. left and right ).
In your case, I would buy a small mixing console that has an integrated headphone amplifier (computer and PS5 via the analogue interfaces to the mixing console). Your idea would also work in principle, but then you would have to switch on the PC every time you want to play PS5.
It's not the mic that makes the sound card compatible, but the cable, if the mic only connects with a USB cable, no! If you can change the cable and use an XLR or jack cable, yes it is compatible.
Had exactly the same problem, apparently it occurs when the GPU is fully loaded or the computer draws a very high voltage. The device then suffers from a lack of power supply via the USB socket. It shouldn't happen, but it does anyway. I then sold the thing and have since left this brand to the musicians.
Hello Left Turn_
As a rule, headphones with higher impedance require more power from the headphone output of their audio interface than headphones with lower impedance.
We therefore recommend using headphones with a maximum impedance of 200 ohms with all 'bus powered' interfaces (e.g. Scarlett Solo, 2i2 and 2i4).
For interfaces that have their own power supply (e.g. Scarlett 6i6, 18i8 and 18i20), headphones with a maximum impedance of 250 ohms can be used.
For all models of the Clarett (Thunderbolt and USB) and the Red (Thunderbolt) series, headphones with an impedance of up to 600 ohms can be used.
My situation:
Lenovo L380 Yoga connected to an I-Tec Docking (HDMI, DisplayPort, USB 2.0, RJ-45 (LAN).
Manufacturer no. C31HDMIDPDOCKPD100. (A 2nd monitor is connected to it)
Then I connected 2x KRK Rokit 8 G4 to the docking station at the moment from 3.5mm jack to 2x XLR unbalanced.
I also have free USB-A and USB-C ports on the docking station which could be used.
I actually only want to bring the sound of my computer to my studio monitors (KRK Rokit 8 G4, XLR connection).
At the moment, I have a slight noise on the LS and would actually only like to fix this noise.
Is the sound from the computer also transferred to the interface via the USB cable or do I have to route the 3.5mm signal from the PC to the interface separately?
What would you recommend in this case?
Many thanks
Good morning
Audio is a topic I don't quite understand. My idea would be to put the PC sound + the Ps5 sound on a pair of headphones. I know that there is an adapter from Astro that splits the audio signal. But I don't necessarily want to buy an Astro headset.
I have tried to read up on various sites. But I don't know if it works that way.
My current point of view:
Since the Ps5 has neither an optical output nor any other audio outputs (except USB), I would be forced to go via my monitor. Via HDMI to the monitor, from there with an audio cable (3.5mm) to this audio interface (with adapter 6.3mm). The interface is connected to the PC via USB and so I could regulate the volume of the two signals? Or do I also have to connect the PC to the interface with an audio cable (3.5mm to 6.3mm) so that I can mix?
Does this work in reality or do I have a wrong way of thinking?
I am grateful for any answer. Maybe there are people who have simpler solutions.
Greetings and thanks!
Hello everyone, hopefully someone has a solution or at least a tip.
Setting: Rode NT1, Cordial CPM FM (2.5m), Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen (when used on 48V and gain turned up to approx. 80%).
I have had the whole setting for 1.5 months now and unfortunately have the problem that the microphone output starts to noise after a certain time (i.e. the people in the Discord/TS/Twitch make me aware that my voice sounds like a robot). With the own reminder I hear that then also that it comes from me and not somehow connection-technically speak Internet) have already various things tried dis Dan again to fix. After a few attempts, it has now proven best if I simply turn the USB-C connection that is plugged into the interface by 180° and plug it back in, but after a certain time (1-3 hours) the same problem occurs again and I do the same thing again. Up to now, this has usually worked. But it can't be that this is the normal state? Does anyone have something similar or a tip on what I should do? I tried a different USB-C to see what it was like, but it was even worse than the original. I have also plugged in various USB connections in the PC, but it didn't help.
