whats your sound set up? More volume in does not mean more volume out,can cause lots distortion. only way to get more volume out is powered speaker system like a 100 watt speaker system

motoman45 · 07-31-2010, 04:28 PM

its a good pc speaker system, powered sub, it cranks, just not with my git..any imput?

hmmm k.... I am assuming things here so forgive me.. your on a desk top, you have the git running into the sound card via the LINE IN not the mic plug, you have right clicked on the speaker on the task bar and opened the volume control, made sure all the volumes are on high and nothing is muted....?

shrekfingers · 07-31-2010, 04:33 PM

also in your volume control click options,properties and make sure the line in or aux (what ever you using to plug the git into)is checked for use in playback.

motoman45 · 07-31-2010, 04:34 PM

k, it is running into the mic port, i got that adapter from rs...there is no line in.... it is a desk top, and yes no controls are muted...

k that might be you prob.. not sure, mic port is stereo git cord is mono... r u using recording software, is that why your using the git into the puter? does it have a separate volume control?

shrekfingers · 07-31-2010, 04:44 PM

what if you move the balance slider to one side or the other does it increase the volume?

motoman45 · 07-31-2010, 04:47 PM

i have audacity, but thats not up and running, the adp i got from rs is a stereo jack, if that matters... like i said i have sound, it just doesn't crank...do you have software?

shrekfingers · 07-31-2010, 04:50 PM

sorry mic is mono....line in is stereo but may still be the cause, as i said try moving the balance slider in main volume properties and see if it increasing the volume you get out any. Puters like to split the mono into two channels.

motoman45 · 07-31-2010, 04:50 PM

do i need to run it thur a effects pedal?

shrekfingers · 07-31-2010, 04:51 PM

I have audacity but have never tried to put my guitar through the puter.

motoman45 · 07-31-2010, 04:53 PM

whats the pink hole for (on the pc) in the back, ones spkrs, one mic, is the other headphones?

shrekfingers · 07-31-2010, 04:57 PM

not sure about the effects pedal, as of this time i have never tried to put my git into the puter. I still suspect the adapter as your culprit as it is a stereo adapter you using on mono config, guitar is mono and the mic port is mono... but just a guess.. i am running out of ideas

shrekfingers · 07-31-2010, 04:58 PM

pink is standard for MIC

shrekfingers · 07-31-2010, 04:59 PM

stereo line in is light blue and speakers out shuld be lime green

e: The number of jack connectors you'll find on your soundcard will depend on how many audio channels it has:

* Stereo cards with just two audio channels will have only the green (output), blue (input) and pink (microphone) jacks.
* A few sound cards with 8 (7.1) audio channels do not provide the gray (Middle Surround Speakers) connector. If your computer is equipped with this type of card and you want to use all the 8 channels you will need to connect your motherboard to a 7.1 home theater system using the SPDIF digital connector.
* Some motherboards with 4 or 6 channels don't have the black (Rear Surround) and orange (Subwoofer and Center) jacks. These cards will use the blue jack for both line in and rear surround speakers out, and the pink jack for both mic input and subwoofer/center out. Therefore, whenever you want to use any of these jacks for a different function, you will have to manually remove one jack connector and plug in another.

yes it is, it involves computers

Amps r better

motoman45 · 07-31-2010, 05:22 PM

well all i know is that these speakers cranks, so i assumed if i plugged into my git would too...my bad

shrekfingers · 07-31-2010, 05:27 PM

did you plug your speaker system right into your guitar and bypass the puter? After all it is a powered speaker system right, guitar to pedal in, pedal out to powered speaker system and use guitar volume control?

motoman45 · 07-31-2010, 05:31 PM

no, i plugged the git into the back of the pc with the adpater,like i said i had sound, just not enoughn, it was like the vol on the git was on 3... and the pc spkrs were all the way up

motoman45 · 07-31-2010, 05:33 PM

you should try it, go to rs, it was 5 bucks for the adpater, and see what happens, the whole purpose of this was i want to record, and now its pissin me off.lol wheres my beer?...but thanks for the time....

There might be an impedance mismatch. The microphone input might be designed for a microphone of about 600 ohms, a guitar pickup impedance might be 7000 ohms. The difference means a microphone delivers about 10 times more electricity to the computer than a guitar pickup. That's about what you are hearing, a 10 fold difference in sound level.

I do not know anyone that plugs guitar into computer directly. I remember reading about guitars plugged into mixers then mixer line output to computer, and about guitar usb cables - they plug into the usb port.
