Re: Toneport Ux1 (Pod Farm 2), sound dropping out frequently

Update:

I purchased a new cable today (Hosa 3.5mm (M) to dual 1/4" (M)). I was able to get sound out of both speakers, which was pleasing to have. However, the problem in terms of sound cutting out/fading away randomly and when switching to different pickups is still occuring, as well as the other stated complaints.

At this point, I'm thinking of cutting my loses and browsing for a future replacement for this UX1 device. I'm not expecting much out of this device and it's just not cutting it.

Thanks for the assistance.

Thanks for your help, David.

I think the sound issue has something largely to do with using the headphone socket to plug my speakers into. I'll monitor the sound further using the rear analog outputs and see if the problem persists.

Thanks for your response, David.

Those suggestions do not seem to be solving the issues. However, I decided to plug my speakers into the Ux1 device through the back analog output socket. The sound seems to be better than it was before. On top of that, my speakers would be putting out a lot of feedback and fuzz when I previously had them plugged into the headset socket.

The only hurdle I need to overcome now is to get both speakers to produce sound through this analog output. Sound is only coming out of my left speaker. I only have one 1/8" plug and one 1/4" adapter, so only one analog output is occupied at this moment.

Can anyone instruct me as to how to hook up my speakers to the analog output on the rear portion of the UX1 so that both speakers are producing sound?

Much appreciated,

Problem experienced

Major issues:

- Sound cuts out/drops out/fizzles out of existence frequently when playing through UX1 and Pod Farm

- When switching pickups, the sounds will completely drop out. Issue is more noticeable when using my guitars that have 2 humbuckers. Pickup switch at bridge position will work fine, but when I switch to the neck pickup the sounds, effects, and output is diminished or removed completely. Sometimes switching back to bridge pickup resumes the original sounds, but not always.

- Many of my custom signal chains are starting to not function properly anymore. Output from the dysfunctional signal chains is very fizzy and does not resemble a guitar tone at all.

- If the sound does not completely drop off, I'll notice a thinning of the sounds/tone coming out

Minor issue:

- I get a lot of clicking/popping feedback when using signal chains that feature clean amps with delays and reverbs.

Product history

- Owned Ux1 and Pod Farm 2 for approximately 6 months

- Update Line 6 Monkey, Drivers, Pod Farm, etc. when needed

- Have tried using different sample rates as recommended on other threads

- I plug my speakers (Hercules XPS 2.0) directly into the headphone jack on the front of the device through a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter.

I understand that other users have experienced similar problems with the Ux1. I wasn't able to find anyone else who had the same issue that I have involving the pickup switch. I know the popping sound is an issue that won't be resolved, and for know I can live with it, but all the others problems are interfering with my playing. I depend on the Ux1 and Pod Farm to practice guitar, and these issues are getting progressively worse each time I try to play.

I don't expect a perfectly functioning product considering the lower cost, but I still need a consistent sound if I'm going to be able to practice at all, not just fuzzy muck.

TL;DR: Sound drops out a lot. Software components are updated. Help is appreciated.

Re: Pod Farm 2.51 not receiving input audio from Toneport UX1

Actually my UX1 is authorized for Pod Farm 2. The UX1 device began receiving the guitar signal after I reinstalled all the line 6 software and reinstalled Monkey, updated drivers, and installed only Pod Farm 2 and not Pod Farm 1.

I'm currently running v2.51 and it's working fine as of now.

Thanks for your help.

Pod Farm 2.51 not receiving input audio from Toneport UX1

support@line6.com — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 04:48:33 GMT

I had just installed all drivers for toneport ux1, pod farm 1 and pod farm 2 with updates to version 2.51 in addition to the latest version of Monkey. No updates are shown in Monkey. The device is hooked up properly to my computer, and green light is on the device. Audio was being transmitted earlier, but suddenly the sound dropped off and no signal is being received in Pod Farm. I've disconnected the device several times and restarted my computer.

When audio was being received prior to complete drop off, there were sporadic moments of signal lag. What could explain all these occurences, and how can I fix it?
