Problem
In the Experiment Settings, the name under Microphone has a number in front. For example, Pettersson M500-384-1 changed to 2-Pettersson M500-384-1.
Explanation/Solution
This happens when you plug the microphone into a USB port different from that used when you plugged the microphone for the first time. Close UltraVox XT and for the microphones with a name beginning with “2-“, swap the USB-A connectors that go to the USB card/hub. When re-opening the software, all the microphone names should be as before (without the “2-” in front).
Even if the name under Microphone in the Experiment Settings changes, you can use that microphone. The name does not affect data recording. However, make sure that you know which microphone is associated with which cage. For example, label the microphones and the USB ports on your computer.
In all cases:
1.Plug the microphone into the correct USB port, then click Refresh.
2.Click the select button under Microphone.
3.Choose the microphone from the list, then click the Settings button to check the signal is received.
