Re: POD X3 USB - no sound? [WIN XP SP3|POD X3 (the red kidney bean)]

OK,

I am using Virtual Box on Linux running WinXP . So what I found out is, that there is a problem with USB Audio devices in VBox. Although I upgraded the firmware and the Softwareof my POD I through VirtualBox I am unable to make use of the soundcard capabilities of my POD.

So my current solution is to make a old hardware WinXP ready for recording - The linux drivers are working (I can see the correct driver beeing loaded in the kernel log), but on linux side I am unable to make the driver beeing bound to ALSA in openSuSE linux.

Marcus

Exactly. I use the headphone jack of my pod. Neither on the POD's headphone jack nor on the left/right out channels is any hearable output.

I successfully registered it as my soundcard. If I try to play a wav with audacity it switches to "running", but the playback cursor on the wave display does not move which makes me believe that I have a misconfiguration on my POD. The driver itself is available to the OS (both, input and output are set to X3).

If I set the output back to internal audio in audacity, the cursor moves correctly and I am able to hear the wav playback on my notebook.

POD X3 USB - no sound? [WIN XP SP3|POD X3 (the red kidney bean)]

Hello,

I am trying to use my POD X3 as an audiocontroller. I installed X3 drivers, made the updates with monkey. I successfully can select the POD in windows settings to be my audiocontroller for input and output. Also, I can select it in audacity and cubase. I have read in other forums, that it is recommended to use the POD also as output controller to avoid latencies.

But, if I try to playback a wave I do not hear anything; neither on the headphones nor on the L/R output (and yes, I pushed up the master data on PC and on my X3 bean).

Am I missing something? Is there any tool I have to install to use the POD as audio contoller? Why do I find it in my windows settings, why do I see all the different channels in cubase and why does neither recording nor playback work?

If I am able to flash the firmware and the software of my POD, why does the audio stuff not work? Or do I have to make any settings on my POD? I searched the settings and the manual, but I did not find anything.

Please help me!

Thanks in advance :-)

[FIXED] Firmware update done. Amp is now silenced?

Hi,

I had a loose guitar cable plugged in. I removed it and reinstalled the same update; now it works fine.

Firmware update done. Amp is now silenced?

Hello, tonight I did an upgrade on my spider jam combo (2.0.9) following the instructions from the FAQ. I had version 1.0.4, so I upgraded via poweron+save.

After successfully updating the amp, it rebooted like I was told in the description.

But now, my amp does not give any tone anymore. Neither guitar, nor rythms/songs are brought to the speaker, although anything seems fine. Also, headphones do not work.

WTF has happened to my amp?!

Please help!

Best regards + thxalot,
