how to plug a guitare as input on w10?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern regarding the issue that you are facing.

Please follow the steps mentioned below to plug a guitar using a USB Audio Interface.

1. Install the USB audio interface's drivers on the computer. The drivers are included with the device or are available through the manufacturer's website.

2. Connect your guitar to the USB audio interface device's input socket
using a guitar cable. You can route the guitar through an
amplifier to the USB audio interface as well, but it's not necessary as the
USB audio interface's software can replace the amplifier's role.

3. Connect the USB audio interface device to the computer with a
USB cable. The USB audio interface bypasses the need to record through the
sound card.

Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

 

Can't get any input from mic jack connected to an electric guitar?

I recently bought an electric guitar and since i don't have an amp i use the instructions on instructables website on How to use your computer as a guitar amplifier and install guitar rig and the asio driver.

now my audio jack is a combo mic/headphone 3.5 jack.
when i connect my guitar to the jack i set it to mic but when i start the guitar rig software it only makes a noise and there seems to be no input from the mic jack in the sounds setting.

i'm on lenovo laptop with windows 10 installed

 

Connecting guitar amp headphones out to computer mic in

Hi guys. I saw similar threads but I cannot find a solution to this specific problem (or I do not know what to look for). I have guitar amp Line6 with only one out - phones/record out. When I tried to plug it in the computer to record my playing, all I got was static, almost like a ground loop or something, no signal. I have no such a problem with headphones out from my electric piano going in the computer.
So I bought a small mixer XENYX502, plugged in my mic, piano and the guitar amp out... and the same problem. The moment I plug the mix master out in the computer in (REGARDLESS whether I use line-in or mic - same result) - all I get is the same static. Now, the mix itself works - I can mix all mic + piano + guitar in my headphones (using headphones out from the mixer) and I can record on my computer mix of piano and mic. But for whatever reason I simply cannot have plugged the mix into a computer while playing guitar (nor to record the mix of guitar and piano).

any ideas? Do I need another piece of hardware? I thought that somehow the amp cannot go to the computer directly although its output is marked as headphones/RECORD and that inserting the mixer in the line will solve it. It did not.
P.S. tried both desktop and laptop computers - same result

thanks for any help
