Audiobox USB 48V phantom power issue in Input 2

Hey guys. I recently bought two condenser mics and tried using them on my Audiobox USB 48V. Both mics work on Input 1, but neither work on Input 2. I've tried connecting a dynamic mic in both inputs and it works. So does the guitar and my electronic drum kit on both inputs.

What could be the issue with Input 2? Phantom power has been enabled. I've tried everything possible and clueless now.

Thanks :)

I'm wondering if this is related to the fact that your AudioBox is buss-powered. You can try an inexpensive powered USB hub, and see if that helps.

Thanks for the reply. But won't a USB hub further reduce the power available to the audio interface thereby not having any juice to power both mics?

The exact opposite. Key word? POWERED hub. Like this one on Amazon.

Under $20.
