Hum with Pocket POD and POD HD500

support@line6.com — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 20:52:53 GMT

I own both of these units and am experiencing the same issue with both of them. When using power from a wall socket (using recommended adaptors), I get a noticeable humming noise. When Itouch something metal on my guitar or the units the hum is reduced. Also, when I connect the units to my computer via USB, the hum is greatly reduced.

I have tried several guitars and cables and the problem persists. I think the problem is either with the units or the ground in my house electrical supply. However I cant see how it is the house as the problem goes away when I connect to a computer via usb.....the computer uses the same power source!

Please help !!

Thanks

Re: Pod Studio GX help required

UPDATE

I downloaded the POD FARM2 from the Line 6 website, and at least now Line 6 Monkey detects my GX. Both Pod Farm and Pod Farm 2 are showing as activated in Line 6 Monkey. However I still cannot open Pod Farm or Pod Farm 2 as a plug in in either Garageband or Riffworks, and get an error stating a license authorization is required.

I am trying to follow the steps under 'How DO I Activate My License' from the following:

http://line6.com/community/docs/DOC-4738

However, since I have Pod Farm as a bundle with the GX, I don't have a license key. Can someone from Line 6 support please let me know what I need to do to use Pod Farm as a plugin for Garageband, which was the whole point of me buying it.

I have looked on the internet and there are several accounts of people having the same problem. It is frustrating to say the least that Line 6 do not provide proper instructions or guidance on how to use their products. It certainly isn't a straightforward process.

I recently bought a Pod Studio GX with Pod Farm to use on my imac. The standalone application works fine. However, I can't launch Pod Farm as a plug in within Garageband. When I try, it says that no device is connected, or that the device is not authorised. I have tried launching Line 6 Monkey to sort this, but Line 6 Monkey doesn't detect my GX. This isn't a USB issue as the standalone application works with absolutely no issues.

Can someone please assist.

Thanks
