no guitar sound

Post by buckshot09 » Wed Jun 27, 2012 8:27 am

G'day,
I have just downloaded Audacity. I am using a Behringer USB interface UC6102. I can hear my backing tracks OK but I can't hear the guitar which is plugged into the Beringher device. Do I have to download something e lse to make it work? :roll:
Cheers
Buckshot

Do you have your headphones plugged into the UCG102 ? (I presume that "UC6102" is a typo?)

Try adjusting the guitar gain switch (marked "5" in the manual page 10).
Ensure that the playback level from the computer is not too loud (you can probably turn that down in Audacity - if not, use the computer system sound controls.)

p.s. I downloaded the combo box etc that came with the UCG. Would I have to remove that from the comp. I get guitar sound with that

Top tip: Don't throw out the manual 'till you're sure that you know what you're doing ;)
The manual for the UCG102 is pretty small and can be downloaded - Google for it.

Sorry I don't know what you mean.
