I upgraded to the latest version of “SoundGrid studio”, but no sound comes out without connecting “SoundGrid Impact Server”.

environment:  
・Windows10pro  
・DiGiGrid D  
・DiGiGrid M  
・SoundGrid Impact Server

Sound can be heard normally in the image state.

However, the actual work is done with “DiGiGrid D” and “DiGiGrid M”.

How can I hear the sound without connecting “Sound Grid Impact Server”?

Soundgrid studio’s Mixer is running on a DSP server. You need server mandatory

Hi @fpplan,

Although the Soundgrid studio’s Mixer runs on the server, as @merefox mentioned.

You can still Record & playback audio using a SoundGrid audio interface and a DAW (without low latency or offloading capabilities) If this is what you are looking for…

 ![Setup 1](https://img.wavescdn.com/1lib/images/products/mixers/setups/soundgrid-studio/1.png)

In this setup, SoundGrid Studio is used simply to configure your SoundGrid audio interface to work with your DAW. You will use the ‘ **Patch** ’ page \> **Device to Device** view within SoundGrid Studio to patch the inputs and outputs of your SoundGrid I/O and your DAW.

Components:

1. A computer running the SoundGrid Studio application, and a DAW with the Waves SoundGrid Driver (ASIO or Core Audio) selected as the playback engine
2. [SoundGrid audio interface](https://www.waves.com/hardware/soundgrid-interfaces)

Refer to the [SoundGrid Studio Setup Tab](https://www.waves.com/mixers-racks/soundgrid-studio-emotion-st-8-ch#tab-setups).
