TS3698 When using amps no guitar sound feedback external sounds

I'm using the GarageBand app in my iPhone 5s OS 7.
I am using the PV AmpKit Link as an interface between my guitar and the app.
When I turn the amp monitor on there is loud high-pitched feedback, but there's also sound coming from my room
as if there is some internal mic switch on. This of course would account for the feedback but I don't see anywhere to cut the mic.
In addition my iPod or Siri will open on their own and I have to turn them off and return to the GarageBand app.
Up until a few days ago everything was working fine.
Anyone have any ideas on this?

Are you sure that all other sounds are working?
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • When using FaceTime, all other sounds are muted. This defeats functionality. When will this be corrected?

    When using FaceTime, all other sounds are muted. This defeats functionality. When will this be corrected? Does anyone know of a "fix" for this problem? This definately is NOT a feature.

    yes, that is exactly what mine did too. I noticed that something is wrong after receiving calls and did not hear anything.
    It was like the IPhone did not realize that the headphone is not any longer plugged in. I m not sure weather I plugged/unplugged the headphones after this more than once but it startet working correctly.

  • When using Skype my IPad sounds like ocean. This is not a problem when I am on FaceTime or using other apps with sound.  Recently updated to newest IOS 7. First there was no sound for Kype and found that had to turn microphone sound on.

    When using Skype my IPad 2 now sounds like the ocean and I can barely here my contact.  This happened recently after IOS7 update. I did turn the microphone on for Skype as it was required after update.  Now my sound is terrible but only a problem when using Skype video call.  It is okay for FaceTime.

    Thank you!  Resetting resolved the issue with terrible sound when trying to use skype.  Sounds much better! 
    I am not sure what all changed when reset was applied to settings --- assume it defaults back to basic settings.  I have no idea what I had customized, so will slowly figure out.  I have noticed several things.  So far I had to add back my wallpaper and reenter password to get back on my wi-fi. 
    At least SKYPE is now audible.

  • No sound from the TV when using HDMI cable, No sound from the TV when using HDMI cable

    I recently purchased HDMI cable and adaptor, so that I can play downloads from my Macbook Air on my TV. There is only sound from the Macbook, not the TV - Do I need as separate cable for sound?

    I've got the same issue: when I connect my Macbook Air (2011) to TV via HDMI cable there's no sound through the TV system, only from the Macbook Air. I used to use my older Macbook Pro with the same HDMI adapter and it worked just fine, but not with the Macbook Air it doesn't.
    My software is up to date. I tried to select the TV as an output option in sound preferences, but it doesn't yield any results.
    Rebooding multiple times doesn't help either.
    Any suggestions on how to tackle this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

  • IPad Loudspeaker hiss when using an app with sound. Is this normal?

    Is it normal when an app that uses sound is launched (even the keyboard causes it) a very faint hiss sound is emitted from the iPad speaker? It is not constant either, only occurs when it's about to make a sound and for 5-6 seconds afterwards.
    It is not loud, only fairly faint and can only be heard when the room is silent or you place your ear near the speaker.
    Is this normal?

    Hi,
    Yes it's only minor and I have tried resetting which has no effect.
    For example, when I open up mail or safari and then the keyboard pop's up it has a faint hiss from the speaker which then disappears after 5 seconds until I press a key of which then triggers it to reappear. It sounds like the audio amplifier running the internal speaker has some hiss and to save battery life it turns the speaker off when it isn't needed (hence why it disappears after 4-5 seconds).
    It is only noticeable in a very quiet room and I guess it doesn't help that I have fantastic hearing.
    I guess it's no big problem and it doesn't happen when I use headphones but it's just something I'd like to check in case it's the sign of a fault.
    Thank you for your response red555, much appreciated.

  • Excess noise & feedback when using guitar amp pro

    Hi, As soon as I select any Guitar Amp Pro plug ins to an audio channel I get very loud hiss and hum on everything but totally clean settings. This makes all of the amp modelling and distortion effects unuseable. I am using an Alesis Io/2 interface but the noice appears even without the interface plugged in. Can anyone please help,
    Thanks , Jim

    Not sure if this will be helpful or not but a lot of guitar settings give out hum.
    Here are some things I do:
    Make sure that any dimmer switches in the house are shut off. Turn off any fluorescent lights. This really helps.
    For single coil guitars, you can adjust the pickups so you use two pickups instead of one (if you like the sound)
    Move around a little bit when you are playing guitar and find a "sweet spot" where the noise is smallest
    Use a noise gate so you don't get the hum when you are not playing

  • Does garageband use different amp sounds &effects I can use with my guitar?

    I know I can plug my guitar into my iMac and use garageband to record music, but does Garageband also have amp models and effects that I can use with my guitar? Can I just plug my guitar into my iMac and make music with effects and sounds for my guitar?

    I want a white Custom w/Gold but money is so tight lately... my Imac has become my main amp lately - I have 4 amps (2 vintage tube amps and 2 SS) but most of the time when I'm "wankin" alone I plug into my Imac - I have oodles of plug-ins and use Logic Express a lot more lately but still enjoy Garageband's simplicity...
    I actually have ran my SOUND OUT into a small Fender Frontman and used it for my computer speakers (gives ya' more bite than a standard subwoofer system) - I'm trying to find another Frontman 15R on Ebay so I can do STEREO FRONTMEN - the Frontman has nice cleans and with the added reverb it sounds kinda nice...
    Bucky email me - I 'll explain some other stuff about GB - [email protected]

    I'm new using Logic, i've been using garageband for quite awhile now though but my question is just basic. When i want to record electric guitar while clicking the software option it brings me to alot of guitar sounds that i want to chose. I chose the twangy electric or the distorted strat but i only hear clean sounds. No matter what kind of guitar sound i chose in the library it only produces clean guitar. How can i make it sound like it supposed to? Did i miss something i should do?

    This definitely has me stumped as I'm unsure as to why your guitar can be heard, but with none of the channel strips plugins applied to the sound.
    On the record enabled channel strip that contains your guitar input, is the "I" button located near the "R" active? Also, if you record your guitar, can you hear the FX applied to it when you play back the recorded track?

  • I have an Airport Express connected via optical toslink to a dac/amp in turn connected to speakers. When using iTunes I get message "no speakers connected to Airport Express" and audio sound has drop outs.

    I have an Airport Express connected via optical toslink to a dac/amp in turn connected to speakers. When using iTunes I get message "no speakers connected to Airport Express" and audio sound has drop outs.

    Ok, if you are connecting the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to the existing wireless network, then the DSL in the next room is most likely a combination DSL modem and wireless router. Thanks for clarifying that for me.
    Although they may only be separated by a single wall, the building material used in that wall may be enough to prevent the AX from receving a "good" signal from the DSL router.
    Since I don't know what computing equipment you have available, please check out this AirPort User Tip: AirPort - Optimal Base Station Placement to see if you can get some SNR measurements at the location of your AX. To do this properly, you will want to power-off the AX and only get these measurements for the DSL router.

  • When using HDMI to HDMI cable the Master Sound Control is locked.

    master sound control is locked when using HDMI to HDMI using an HDTV for the display.
    Although itunes sound control works.  Why is the Master Control locked?

    Hello,
    I am new to OS X and i have tried to adjust the sound when plugged to the secondary monitor through HDMI which of course didn't work.
    I have been using windows and a linux for years now, and everything works seamless.
    I believe that this could be easily solved by Apple as long as their are willing to do it. Having a virtual device for sound control is not that difficult.
    All the bests
    There are two ways to 'solve' this.
    Alter the volume before sending the digital signal down the HDMI connection, this means the signal is no longer exactly as it was originally. Apple's current (apparent) view is that this should be done at the end i.e. playback device not at the originating (Mac) end so as to minimise the number of devices making changes to the signal. Basically 'volume' is the amplitude of a an analogue wave form. (Where else do you think the term 'amp' comes from.)
    Not to alter the volume of the signal at the Mac end but instead to send a signal down the HDMI cable to tell the end i.e. playback device to alter the volume, this uses a standard called CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), unfortunately at the moment no Macs support this standard - it has to be supported at a hardware level so a simple Apple software upgrade to implement this is not possible. I have previously logged an official enhancement request for this with Apple - the more people who do this the more likely it is to be added, since now all Macs include HDMI it might happen at some point.
    As an addendum to option 2 above, see http://www.pulse-eight.com/store/products/104-usb-hdmi-cec-adapter.aspx this would however require software support in whatever application is being used. XBMC for Mac does support it.

  • When I connect my guitar using apogee jam the note drops off after a few seconds. Why???

    When I connect my guitar using apogee jam the note drops off after a few seconds. Why???
    Its the same on most of the preset amps.
    Please help, the apogee cost me £80!

    Is it stopping recording after 8 seconds? Are you using Garage Band?
    If both of these are correct:
    This is actually a feature (i'm not sure why it defaults to this).  Instructions for the iPhone version are below:
    With the amp section open, touch the sproket on the upper right.
    You should be in a "settings" type area with three tabs.  Touch "Sections"
    Select the section and switch it to automatic - it will now record until you stop recording by touching the stop icon.

  • GB will not recognize guitar when using Presonus Firebox

    Hi,
    I purchased a Presonus Firebox yesterday and got started last night using it with GarageBand. I had success recording guitar tracks using mu shure57 mic. However, when I went to record a bass track directly through the firebox I can not get GarageBand to recognize. I tried using a different guitar and different cables. Nothing worked. I was going into the second input of the firebox with standard 1/4 inch guitar cable. I watched some tutorials out on youtube and followed all the steps I could find. Could there be something in preferences that I am missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am pulling my hair out!!!
    THanks!

    Update - In Preferences I have the firebox selected as the input. I am set up as Mono 2 with monitor on. Absolutely no sound coming into garageband. I also went to Presonus's website and downloaded and installed the latest driver. Still nothing working. So frustrating.
