Device ID on Sound Input for USB Mic

[NateTheGreat]

I have a usb mic and I and trying to use th esound pinput configure VI.  I need to input the location for my usb mic. But going to device manager says my mic is at location 0000.0013.0000.002.000.000.000.000.000.

I obviously cannot use that in the location input on the vi. Is there a simple way to get around this?

Updated: Here is a snippet of code on the left. The default is 0, the standard mic in on a sound card. But since this mic isn't on a sound card I am not sure how to use its location. Or whether this is simply a different and better way. Any one else run into this problem?

Here is a photo of the properties under the device manager.

Hello Nate,

Try dropping an Acquire Sound Express VI. There is a Device combo box in the configuration dialog that shows all of the sound devices on the computer. Select the one you are using and it will give you the "device ID" number that you will use as an input to the 'Sound Input Configure' VI.

Hope this helps!

It is oddly not listing it.  All the other applications on my machine can record sound from it, but not labview.

You can see the device I want to use, it is set as default.

But it doesn't show in Labview.

Hello Nate,

Have you tried restarting the computer with the device connected? You might also try communicating via VISA instead.

It can be a little more involved, you might be able to find some microphone specific VISA examples with a little bit of searching.

Thanks

Sorry Joel, I just noticed this topic again. I can't remember what I ended up doing anyways. I used to work for IT, so I definitely had restarted it.
