Blobbragg Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Can I listen to music on my MAC through the USB input and send it to my speakers instead of via the Bluetooth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Yes, but you will need to connect your speakers to the Firehawk outputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blobbragg Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Thank you. It does work but - using the USB interface - I am getting a lot of "computer noises" when I type, use the mouse, etc. If I unplug the USB cable these noises disappear. For now, I'm using the 1/4" out to my amp. Should it be quiet through the USB? My intention is to play my guitar through the Firehawk into studio monitors (via XLR cables) and play my computer music/Rocksmith to the same studio monitors. I may need to purchase a mixer to get this accomplished. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 A USB connection often involves noise. Mine do, too. Some are noisier than others. I've never been able to make it go away completely. You will be able to listen to both devices without a mixer. The Firehawk device becomes the computer's soundcard so all the sound will go through Firehawk to the studio monitors. Ne need for additional cabling/connections while using Firehawk. However, if you want to hear computer sounds without powering up Firehawk you will need to connect your computer audio outputs to the monitors.

Blobbragg Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 I hooked up my KRK Rokit powered monitors to the Firehawk with XLR cables and the USB is now dead quiet. It must have been a ground loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
