First time using a brand new Model 12 bought from Amazon, not second hand. Channels 1/2 won't send audio to the computer via USB, all the other channels are sending audio to Ableton no problem. Channels 1/2 are receiving audio fine, just not sending to the computer. I've tried everything for hours, and I know my way around a studio as I've been producing for over 20 years. Is this a known issue? I can't use the mixer if two of the channels won't send audio. I've checked the manual, switched between Live, PC and MTR to see if that's a sticky switch, everything.... Frustrating part is all the other channels work and Ableton sees the two channels in the Input section, it's just not receiving audio.

Thanks in advance
 
Also, the Model Mixer application shows channels 1/2 coming into the computer no problem, which is even stranger. I've used Ableton forever and everything is set up fine on that end, as I mentioned all the other channels with the exact same settings are getting signal no problem...
 
Welp... I tried it with Logic and all the channels come in fine. So it seems to be an Ableton issue. Anyone else experience this?
 

EUREKA I found the solution, thanks to this above thread. Apple Mic Isolation Mode. For some reason it didn't affect Logic. This was driving me insane, if anyone else has this problem it's the stupid built in mic on a Macbook
