Troubleshooting
Digitally recorded sound is distorted,
is at the wrong pitch, or contains noise
❏ Is the application's sampling frequency set to 44.1
kHz?
→ Set the application's sampling frequency to 44.1 kHz.
Playback or recording halts midway
through, and then becomes impossible
❏ Was a heavy processing load experienced while using
the GS-10, such as accessing the CD-ROM drive or a
network?
→ If an operation involving a heavy processing load is
performed while the GS-10 is in use, it may not operate
correctly. If this occurs, stop playback/recording, and
then try resuming playback/recording. If you are still
unable to play back/record, exit all applications that use
the GS-10, switch off the GS-10, then turn it on again.
Recording produces a silent (blank)
file
❏ Try setting the bit rate to “16 bit or higher”.
→ If you are using Windows 98 Second Edition and your
recording software is set to a bit rate setting of 8 bits, a
silent file may be created, effectively making recording
impossible. If this occurs, set the bit rate to “16 bit or
higher”, and you will be able to record normally.
❏ Is the Recording source select switch set correctly?
❏ In your operating system, is the audio data input
destination set correctly?
❏ On your recording software, is the audio data input
destination set correctly?
Game background music does not
play
❏ Does the game use an audio CD for background music?
(Standard driver mode)
→ If the game uses an audio CD for background music,
refer to “When playing audio CDs from the computer’s
internal CD-ROM drive, or using the GS-10 to play game
music” (p. 145).
Sound becomes distorted or noisy
when you apply an effect
→ Adjust the volume of the effects.
A loud buzz is present in the guitar
signal
❏ Does the buzz decrease when you lower the volume of
your guitar?
→ If the buzz decreases when you lower the volume of
your guitar, it is possible that the pickup of your guitar is
receiving noise from a computer or a display screen.
Move as far away from the computer as possible.
Sometimes this problem can be solved by grounding the
chassis of your computer, or the grounding connector of
your computer’s AC power supply. You should also
check whether there is a device nearby that produces a
strong magnetic field, such as a television or a
microwave oven. (p. 4)
