I am new to the ML10x. I know that I am using it in a non traditional way. I have a mic going into a preamp and then into one side (tip, ring) of the input. Output is going stereo into my interface. I have tried both the tip and ring of multiple cables and splitters. It doesn’t matter if I use the tip or the ring side of the input the audio is coming through the other side on the output really softly. The audio is full volume coming through the side that I am using. It is almost like the tip and ring sides are not isolated from each other and there is the smallest amount of bleed. Am I missing something?
I had a similar issue. For me the solution was to use TS cables for devices whose output is mono and using TRS when the device output is stereo.
I am using ts cables because I am splitting the TRS Stereo to two channels. That is where I am getting bleed on to the channel I am not using.

Can you try turning it off and see if it resolves the issue for you?
Did you ever get this figured out? I am currently having the exact same issue.
I’m having this exact same problem. @Bubasis did you ever get this to work?
I’ve tried both Input Split options, no effect. I’ve tried both 1.1.2 and 1.2.0 firmwares. I’ve tried different cables and splitters. I’ve taken everything else out of my signal chain. I’m using TS cables plugged into TRS splitters. I’ve tested without USB plugged in. I’ve spent hours now troubleshooting this and I’m pretty sure I’ve narrowed it down to the ML10X is just not well-isolated between L/R channels. It’s extra noticeable when one channel has distortion and it bleeds into the clean channel.
I’ve settled on working around this by sacrificing the A loop as my second input, and not splitting any other loops. So I have one instrument plugged into IN and a second instrument plugged into RTRN A, and no splitters in any other loop.
Does this all check out, or is my unit defective, or am I missing something?
Thank you for any insight!
