trickytree38 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I have just purchased a line 6 Pod UX2, the licensing and software loaded fine, and the analogue dials are lit up correctly (not flashing), however, there doesn't seem to be any inputs on the back of my logitech Z3 powered speakers to actually connect the UX2 to, is there any way round this or do i have to purchase a new set of speakers which do have the correct inputs on the back of the woofer? I hasve found a vid on youtube showing the unit as follows: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBee Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 You have to connect the PC speakers to the UX2. If they only have a 1/8" jack you should be able to use a 1/8" to 1/4" stereo adaptor. -B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 You should be able to connect the speakers to the Headphone output jack on the UX2. You may need an adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickytree38 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 ok, I have unplugged the jack which goes into the back of the green input on the back of the pc, i have then plugged this into an extension cable, i have then attached an adapter at the other end which then plugs into the headphone socket on the UX2 box. I then opened up podfarm, chose an amp, and strummed down on the guitar strings which is connected to the instrument input. Both of the needles were moving, but i am still not getting any sound out of the speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBee Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Have you turned up the volume on the UX2 itself? If the needles are moving all should be good. -B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickytree38 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 I'm pretty sure i had all the knobs turned up half way last night, while playing the guitar, both needles are moving, and the green indicators and guitar tuner are responding on the pod farm software, the powered speakers are not connected to the pc, but directly into the headphone socket on the UX2 using a 1/4 inch adaptor.

BillBee Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I guess the question is have you tried it with an amp or headphones? Has it ever worked for you? Its either the unit or the PC. In Pod Farm can you see the level indicator moving when you play? Another thing to check is (for Windows at least) check in the Sound Properties that the UX2 is the in and out device. -B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickytree38 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 update: I now have the thing working, don't know what i've done differently since last night, but i've spent the last hour playing around with different amps and delays, like a kid in a candy shop lol, obviously this is just a foot in the door, and the full potential of it is just starting to dawn on me, but thanks for the advice lads, gonna have a lot of fun i can tell already!
