Like (0)
Hello, I just bought the POD Studio UX1 and installed and registered everything as required .....
drivers and everything else is upto date....
my guitar is connected to the Instrument In
tone direct monitoring at full Volume
usb cable connected to my Dell Inspiron Laptop....(core i5 , 4bg ram, ati 5650 graphics card)
since i cant connect my Sterio Hi-Fi system to the 2 Mono analog outs (I dont have a converter), i tried plugging it into the headphones output using a 3.5mm to 1/4 inch convertor.....but i Dont get a proper output from the UX1......... only when i turn the volume of the Hi-Fi system to its max, then i get a low audible output....which is faintly distorted , a hummin sound in the background, and not of proper quality.....I tried changing the Presets in Pod farm but i dont get any improvement ....
And yea iv tried all the Windows 7 tweaks and optimizations.........Someone HELP!!!!
If you're streaming audio from Windows Media Player, does that audio signal come through loud and clear? Another question I wanted to clarify with you concerns your initial testing with the Instrument Input (guitar connected): did you have POD Farm software running with amp modelling engaged?
But those two questions are really important for us to move forward. Please let us know.
Did you make sure and turn up the output volume control on the the UX1 itself? If you were getting faint stereo signal playback from your home stereo then it is most likely the output level is turned down on the UX1 or there is problem with the cable/converter used to connect your stereo. Try replacing the converter and cable and turn the UX1 outuput up all the way.

No ....Windows media player also give the same distorted output....and Yea the Pod Farm was engaged....but even without the pod farm running ..the output is the same!!!!!.......i think i may have plugged a stereo jack into the mono outs .....OR ...i may have plugged stereo jacks of the speakers into the headphone out.....is the headphone out only for connecting a proper headphone and nothing else????
Does your UX1 sound OK with headphones? If it does then you have a cabling problem.
The headphone out should work. Make sure that any converters that you use are either stereo, or stereo to split mono. What type of input does your HiFi have, so I can make a specific recommendation?
i connected a philips earphone through a stereo 3.5 mm to 1/4 inch converter jack......but the output is the same distorted thing....in both windows media player as well as through the pod farm....
I'm wondering if perhaps you got a defective one. Can you try it on another computer? Failing that, can you exchange it where you bought it for a different one?
+1 to BigChas52.
Try another set of headphones and 1/8" - 1/4" converter to make sure the headphones and converter you have are not part of the problem.
If you still have the same problem, use the instructions in the video tutorial below to set the UX1 up on another computer to see if you get the same problem with the headphone output:
K I bought a twin 1/4 inch mono to stereo connector and connected my computer 2.1 speakers .....the sound seems to be of acceptable quality but still not as good as the stock soundcard...And the VOLUME is still very low!!!!!!
Also i tried connecting my roland guitar Amp with just one stereo guitar cable connected to a single Analog Out....the sound seemed to be Fine....which i suppose should improve if i use a Mono guitar cable...
And thanks @bigchas...will try that too ........but if it doesnt improve shud i replace it??? and what is the procedure to exchange a line 6 product ....especially coz i bought it here in India.....Thanks again!!!
You would have to exchange it through the dealer you bought it throuigh.
Just to verify, did you ever have it checked or tested on a different computer to verify if it could be a hardware problem on the unit?
If it is happening on all other computers, it must be a hardware problem on the unit and it would need to be replaced if you are within the warranty period for your region.
