BUTT Connected but No Audio

Find why BUTT connects successfully while listeners hear silence.

Confirm the audio input

1. Open BUTT audio settings and verify the selected input device.
2. Play audio into that input and check whether BUTT’s input meters move.
3. If meters remain flat, inspect your mixer, audio interface, system permissions and any virtual routing application.

Check routing and levels

BUTT captures live audio from an input. Playing music in a separate program does not automatically route that sound into BUTT. On macOS, a virtual audio device such as BlackHole can help route application audio; on Windows, a virtual mixer may be needed. Check that the correct input is selected and that levels are not muted or clipped.

Verify the public stream

1. Confirm BUTT remains connected while audio plays.
2. Open the listener link in another device or browser.
3. If BUTT meters move but the listener stream remains silent, verify the server is using the intended source connection and ask digiSTREAM to check the server side.
