Wiim Ultra USB audio out not working (gehirneimer.de)

I wanted to "just quickly record a vinyl" with my Wiim ultra, but sunk over one hour into troubleshooting the USB audio out. If that would work it would be so immensly convinient to digitize my records, but the option to output audio over USB just didn't appear in the app... I am running the latest firmware and even did a factory reset

Has anyone an idea what it could be? I tried multiple cables, but I do not own a USB A 2.0 to USB A 2.0. I tried a A to A 3.0 cable and 2 A to C 2.0 cables. I tried my tuxedo laptop (linux) and also my HP (windows) and my Tablet (Android). Nothing worked

Oh I wasn't thinking about a new audio interface 😁 And yes of course that is the use case, but the manual suggests to me that it can output via usb to another dac for example and that is what other people are doing so it should be possible to do it with a PC too imo. I'll try with a strictly USB A to USBA 2.0 cable in the future... Maybe that works... HDMI will not work because I can only use it as an input not an output for the wiim.

I assume what they mean is you can use the USB port to connect it to another interface with a B to A cable but then I really don't see how it can be USB out on the wiim end.

I don't know what to tell you here.

There are cheap interfaces available with RCA in and USB ASIO out that will do exactly what you need. You might even get a simple DJ controller with RCA in.

Or maybe just get a turntable with USB.
