Shaamaan Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I've finally found some time to do some home recording. Or, at least, attempt to do some home recording. :/ I've got the basic Dream Rig - an HD500 hooked up via L6 link with a DT25 (also a JTV 89, but for this particular question it probably doesn't matter). I can get ASIO input into a recording application just fine. No issues there. However, I'm having a lot of problems playing the recording back - there's no sound! The DT is on, the POD is powered up, the visual indicators are nicely moving up and down... yet there's no sound coming from the DT. I've even went so far as to try and connect my regular speakers to the regular R/L outputs of the POD - still nothing. Attached is the config page for Reaper (inputs / outputs) as well as the ASIO config page for the POD. Since Reaper's config page is opened there's no ASIO client shown in the ASIO configuration - that gets resolved once I close the preferences window. Any idea what's wrong? Or am I understanding things wrong with regards to ASIO and that's not how playback works? :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewolf48 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 The USB Audio to the HD500 doesn't go down L6 Link, so you can't do it. It comes out of all of the Audio outputs but not the digital ones (so sure about SPDIF) Right pain if you are using L2t speakers and want to play along to audio from a computer as you have to use XLR or 1/4 cables when you should be able to use L6 Link. Hope this works as expected on Helix 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this works as expected on Helix What?! :o Seriously? :angry: I heard about the SPDIF issue, but didn't know it affects L6 link as well... <checks with normal outputs once more> Well, this is... REALLY weird. I just double checked - I KNEW I tested the regular 1/4'' outputs before, and still had no sound. But since I don't USE the 1/4'' outputs (on account of having a L6 link) I didn't really look further into the issue. Now that you mentioned it I connected the POD just via the 1/4'' outputs, and still couldn't get any output (even when playing the guitar). But after fiddling with the 1/4'' OUT switch on the POD it started working. Really, really weird, that one. :wacko: There's no way I'll be getting a Helix just for THAT. :rolleyes: Finally - thanks for the answer. It helped immensely. :) Cheers!

Rewolf48 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 No Problem - sounds as though the 1/4 level switch was in an in-between state, always something to check with no sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
