markcawley Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hiya I have my POD HD500 going into my PC using the HD500 as the soundcard. My headphones are plugged into the HD500. The PC soundcard is disabled. My problem is that when I play a note on the guitar I get a very quick slapback sort of echo. There are no effects enabled so is a dry signal..... ie...not going through a delay. All I should hear is the single note that im playing WITHOUT this annoying slapback echo. Thanks for any help you can offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Do you hear this slapback when the PC is disconnected from the HD500? What program are you using on your PC to receive the HD500 signal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markcawley Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hiya......thanx for replying No I don't hear it when disconnected. Im actually not running through a DAW at the moment. I have the left and right outputs from the POD into the line in of the PC and the USB cable in the front of the PC so I can change settings in POD HD EDIT. The PC is configured to use the POD for playback AND recording. The onboard soundcard is disabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markcawley Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Ive just unplugged the USB and the echo disappears......... but means I cant adjust my settings in POD EDIT without hearing the echo..... that's a bit crap isn't it lol. There HAS to be a way around this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markcawley Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Right ok...... from that I know that the USB is creating a very short loop in playback......... Anyone know how to stop this loop effect so that I can adjust settings in POD EDIT rather than bending down all the time and tweaking the knobs on the HD500 which at my age is a pain lol. Come on Line 6 sort it out. If you do ill be able to put the HD500 back up there with the top stompers in the world lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 You should disconnect your HD500 analog outputs from your computer Line In jacks. Just use the USB connection. The Pod HD Edit program will recognize the HD500 and use it as the soundcard. Keep monitoring the sound using the HD500 outputs (e.g. headphones).

silverhead Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Try engaging the hd500 tuner, in bypass mode. Do you still hear the echo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markcawley Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Yes its still there but quieter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I suspect there's a problem with your usb connection. Try a different usb port on your computer, check/test your usb cable, and disconnect any usb hub you may be using. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Line 6 driver on your PC. A a last resort, reinstall your device firmware; don't forget to make backup copies of your presets/setlist first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
