Beringer Xenyx 1204fx emits a clicking sound... Sounds like a Geiger Counter for radiation in my headphones. I have used the same sound mixer in the same configurations for 3 weeks. Now I've had it running for a week and no problems till this morning. I've disconnected all inputs and outputs and still get the clicking in the headphone jack.

    I have the same problem, but it comes and goes. I'll leave the mixer on for an hour not doing anything, and when I come back to it the effects bus is a Geiger Counter. It seems like if I unplug everything and wait a while (~ an hour) it goes away. Very frustrating!

This is likely a problem with the FX in the unit or the power to it. Does the FX display act correctly? Check that the headphone source "Main Mix" is the ONLY button down for the headphones. If not, make it so. If the clicking is still there, try the headphones in the aux send jacks... see if EITHER left or right can hear the clicking. Back in the phone jack, scan across the SOLO channel buttons down one at a time. Is there clicking? If not, the problem involves the mixing buss or further down the line. Make sure the SOLO buttons at the FX Aux sends are up.
What effect does the MODE button have in SOLO and in PFL? Is the SOLO LED off? Is the number in the FX window SOLIDLY on and not flashing?

Testimonial: "Couldn't Fix problem using solution. Could not reproduce problem. I don't know if it is still there or not. Very insightful. Very quick response."

I have a Behringer Xenyx 1204FX and the DSP Display doesn't illuminate (but works by pressing down and turning the knob). Any idea why it's not on? Also the AUX 1 Send doesn't seem to be working

It sounds like you're experiencing a couple of issues with your Behringer Xenyx 1204FX mixer. Let's address each of these problems separately:
  1. DSP Display Not Illuminating: The fact that the DSP display works when you press down and turn the knob suggests that the issue might be related to the display itself or its connection. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
    • Check Power Source: Ensure that the mixer is receiving proper power and is turned on. Sometimes display issues can be caused by power-related problems.
    • Connection: Make sure the ribbon cable or connector that connects the display to the circuit board is properly seated. A loose connection could be causing the display to not illuminate.
    • Faulty Display: If none of the above steps work, there might be a problem with the display itself. You may need to contact Behringer support or a professional technician to get the display repaired or replaced.
  2. AUX 1 Send Not Working: If the AUX 1 send is not working as expected, there could be several reasons for this:
    • Routing Settings: Make sure that the AUX 1 send is properly routed to the desired destination. Check the routing options on the mixer to ensure that the signal is being sent to the correct output or destination.
    • Level Controls: Verify that the level controls for AUX 1 are set correctly. Make sure that the AUX 1 knob for the specific channel you're working with is turned up.
    • Effects/Processing: If you're trying to send a signal with effects applied, check if the effects are set up correctly. Sometimes, an incorrect effect or routing setting can affect the AUX send.
    • Cable and Connections: Ensure that the cables connecting the AUX 1 send to external devices (such as monitors or effects units) are functioning properly and securely connected.
    • AUX Master Level: Confirm that the AUX 1 master level (usually located on the main output section of the mixer) is turned up to an appropriate level.
If you've gone through these troubleshooting steps and the issues still persist, it might be a good idea to consult the user manual for your Behringer Xenyx 1204FX mixer for further guidance. If the problems continue, you may need to reach out to Behringer support or consider seeking assistance from a professional audio technician or repair service.

I am hooking up a Behringer xenyx 1002B Mic/Line Mixer to my Toshiba Satellite c885-S5194 laptop to broadcast online via meridix. I'm using Audio technica BPHS1 Headset Microphones with XLS plugs and 1/4...

IF your Laptop has a stereo LINE 1/8" INPUT jack, you can take the Stereo ( Left & Right ) LINE outputs on your mixer and feed into this jack on your PC. You will need a 1/4" dual plug for the mixer end to a single 1/8" stereo plug on the PC end. I suspect the problem you are having is either related to your PC only have a MIC input jack or you have something set wrong in your PC's sound config. file. More information is needed to properly solve the problem.

No effects output xenxy 1204fx

Likely needs the DSP board replaced. It is the small board held on by 2 screws(if I remember correctly) and is easily replaced. I think retail cost is about $30 and can be ordered directly from Behringer.

My behringer xenyx 802 premium 8-input mixer worked fine for 1 day but now it sounds watery and behringer support was no help at all

Sounds like it may have failed. Yes, it is likely that it needs to be returned. Another option is to unplug all inputs and outputs. Plug in ONE device into the board, and use the headphone jack on the board. Does it sound the same? Just basic troubleshooting may help.

I have a Behringer 1204FX mixer. It has an intermittent fault whereby the power supply pulses on off on off etc etc. This can continue for two minutes or ten minutes quite randomly.

That is known as :squegging". It can be caused by any of several failures. One failure involves overload that trips the overload sensor. Another is a problem in the feedback loop of the regulator. I would first replace C13 on the power supply and maybe C10. When working on these supplies use an isolation transformer for personal safety. Note that it appears that C13 MAY have too high a voltage rating and if an electrolytic the dielectric can deform and electrical value reduce. There are many other components that could cause the problem.

Try running the tape out of the slave to the tape in of the master unit. This us haywire, but should work. Use a stereo RCA cable.

My beringer europowered 800w mixer blew a fuse ,replaced it ,has blown several more fuse's since,i used a lower 5 amp fuse did not last - 10 amp is standard > is it time to trash this unit?

I don't understand because the Xenyx 1002fx draws only 16 Watts so the fuse should be well less than 1 amp why would you put a 5 amp?

And your 800 Watt mixer???... There is something wrong with this model number as the 1002fx certainly is not 800 Watts. Please supply the correct model numbers so we can help you.

The unit is repairable I am sure.

Can't get any gain without feedback when using my new shure sm81 mic and the xenyx x1240usb fx mixer. keep the speaker way out in front of me. no montiors. using just a hair of reverb and compression. have...

This is a STUDIO mic and CANNOT be used in the presence of speakers that are driven from its output.

There is special hardware processors to cancel feedback but you do NOT want to go there !!!

This condenser mic is to be used in a studio where performers wear earphones and NO monitors are present.

You should use a Shure SM58 or other CLOSE talking cardoids if you have speakers in the area.

Do I need to connect the Xenyx 1202 to an amp?

If you are the only person listening, you can use headphones with the headphone jack. Otherwise you will have to use some sort of amplification and speakers,e.g. P.A., stereo etc. I'm using a Xenyx 1222 FX and am quite happy with it.
