I purchased a TRS stereo adapter and connected my guitar directly to my soundcard. I did not get any sound at all. I'm not sure if this has something to do with me getting a stereo adapter instead of a mono adapter, the possibility of me not having ASIO drivers for my soundcard(which is capable of ASIO), or some other unknown factor.
I plugged in my cable to the soundcard's mic in and I was able to hear the guitar on my speakers. I tried a simple recording with Audacity and it worked fine. When I tried recording with Kristal it seemed that the signal was extremely weak. I turned up the volume and it sounded like Kristal had only recorded bits and pieces of me playing the guitar. It was not a smooth playback, not to mention the weak signal. I plan to get everything working by using my sound card's Line In input and hopefully that will resolve my recording issues with Kristal.
Tonight I am going to install ASIO4ALL and hope that works for me.
Question: Is the stereo adapter the cause of me not hearing playback (maybe just a weak signal) through my speakers? Should I get a mono one instead?
I am using a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS.
Thanks
