Technical Wiki - Repatching Audio in QLab

When touring shows are in, they will often bring QLab files in, and we need to make sure that they don’t have broken cues.

The most common issue is with audio patches and they will occur when the device used to create the QLab file is different to the one it is currently on. When these occur, if you hover the mouse over the broken cue, it will say “Issue with audio patch output” and give advice on solving it.

To fix this issue, first go to: File > Workplace Settings > Audio > Audio Outputs

Then, in the new menu, there will be a list of audio patches. Usually, all you need to do is set the first one to “External Headphones”. Then, the audio should come out of the speakers (assuming they’re turned on, not muted, etc…) and the cues should no longer be broken.
