Link is enabled but doesn't appear in the transport bar

  • Live Versions: All
  • Operating System: All

Mac

Link won't appear if you select "no audio" in Live's audio preferences.

Windows

As of Live 9.7.1, Link usage is only possible with ASIO drivers. If Direct X/MME is selected in Audio Preferences, Link will be automatically disabled and therefore not show up in the Live Transport Bar.

In case your interface doesn't include its own ASIO driver, you can use ASIO4ALL instead.
