CAREFUL WITH THOSE CAPS, EUGENE!

Download the Monkey software and run that. That will show you what is available, what updates you can make etc. You have to register you Pod on this site to access this. Also you don't say what computer you are using, which software you tried to install or your operating system

They're just renamed Combo Front and Stack Front, for user-friendliness i suppose. The FX Loops is there too. Press the "I/O & Dig Select" button twice (pressing once selects the input and digital settings).

It's all in the manual.

it's of course your choice to do that... but let's look at it from another angle.

i imagine for line6 to create linux drivers, and test them on all the different linux platforms, they'd probably need to hire additional linux developers. it would probably take a long time to develop the drivers too, and to ensure all products are supported. this all takes more time than most people realise, and many times more money than people realise... (I work for a software development company).

so what would happen if line6 did that... they'd make a small minority very happy... it probably would bring them in a small revenue, but probably not enough to cover the cost of development for the drivers... so the money would have to come out of other R&D, and we'd not get as many new products... and i think you'll find that a company like line6 needs constant new products ever 1-2 years or they'd lose customers to other much larger companies like Boss who can afford to release products perhaps more quickly.

just a thought... do any similar companies actually make Linux drivers??? are there really that many people out there using Linux? I mean I get the idea of it being free, and I have used it on occasion, but windows just seems to be so much better supported by other companies that it seems restrictive to use Linux... if it works for you, that's great... but it seems that your choice of music gear is now being limited because of your OS choice... that's something I would think long and hard about... would a MAC or windows PC give you what you want... if so, if linux the right choice?

Hey, brother!

- There is no need to test "all the different linux platforms", because they are compatible.

- "what would happen if line6 did that"? They'd make a lot of people very happy, and it would bring them a great revenue: http://www.tanzband-scream.at/line6/poll.php5?results

- "we'd not get as many new products...". How many new products you buy in a year or two? I just bought one in my entire life. And I bought the model packs too. And I would buy another, maybe sometime. But now, I think a thousand times before.

- "do any similar companies actually make Linux drivers???"- Yes! Look: http://www.linuxstudiopro.com/#

-"but it seems that your choice of music gear is now being limited because of your OS choice...". You're completely right! And I still
want to believe that things can change! And I need to change my way of thinking sometimes...

Thank you for replying, and for you efforts to make me understand these things. But I wish you comprehend what the linux's users are passing through.

cheers,

Felipe.

How do I uninstall Audio-midi control panel?

support@line6.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:27:02 GMT

I started this query a couple of weeks ago because I couldn't get any sound via my pod xt or KB37 from any program on my computer until I had started Monkey. I got ill last week and couldn't get to my computer so Line 6 marked it as answered after a couple of days .....so here goes.

I bought a new Dell Studio 1557 specifically for recording (no laughing at the back there). It came with windows 64 bit Vista SP2..(waits for howls of derision to stop). I have since ordered a free Windows 7 upgrade and now feel I am digging an even bigger hole. It's quite high spec and has the fast hard drive (7200) etc.

Anyroads, when I first installed the xt drivers, KB37 drivers, pocket pod software, Gearbox, Pod Farm, Monkey and music software (Cubase SX2, Reaper 64 bit trial, Guitar Pro), I could get no sound in or out of whatever device was connected (xt or KB37). I have no other USB devices attached, not even a mouse or keyboard.

When I played a file in the music software programs (or Windows Media, web browser etc), I couldn't hear anything although the transport panel cursor was moving.

When I opened Monkey however, everything worked, until I opened another project.

I uninstalled everything.

I installed my music software programs one at a time, tested then uninstalled them. This was without any Line 6 stuff installed.

They all performed fine using the default sound. I uninstalled everything (or so I thought)

I checked Windows media and youtube to see if I got sound from the computer. I did. I then plugged the xt in via USB (no drivers loaded). Predictably, the onboard sound ruled supreme through speakers and headphones.

Now I loaded JUST the xt drivers, nothing else. Windows found and installed the drivers, and the device. The pod is fully up to date with regard to flash, drivers etc. and connected to a 15W marshall practice stack via the Left Output. This has always worked no problem.

I checked pod xt (2 Speakers) came up in my options dialog box, which indeed they did, and were selected by default. Yippee. Device working properly etc, check.

No sound.

I looked in Control Panel (Windows), and lo, there was the Audio-midi control panel still there. It wasn't uninstalled via the Line 6 Uninstaller and there was no option in Add/Remove Programs to uninstall. Still, I opened it, changed the default rate to 24, clicked Apply and the sound came on! Through my amp.

I closed everything down, waited a while, opened windows media, started a track - no sound.

I opened Line 6 Audio-midi control panel, it had reverted to 16 bit, pulled down the menu again to 24, then changed it back to 16, clicked Apply - sound happened.

So to sum up..I get no sound via my pod xt until I open Line 6 Audio-midi control panel, then I just need to do something (anything) and the sound comes on.

I can't troubleshoot anything anymore because I cannot remove Line 6 Audio-midi control panel, there is no option anywhere.

I believe this to be the root cause of my trouble, but I can't do anything about it.

Help, please.

Recording Music

support@line6.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:17:36 GMT

Thank you so much for the info! I was starting to figure out that what I bought was not enough to actually record his music and burn it to a CD.

And although I do rock the gift for him is a bit selfish because I want to have some of his music on CD to play when I am at home or work.

I will give this info and see how it goes. Maybe I will get a CD for Christmas!!!!

I bought a podxt recently and was going to do some updates and it said it required a cd of somesort to complete the update. My podxt didn't come with a cd. Where can I get one so I can update and get some add onns?

support@line6.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:19:04 GMT

You don't need a CD. You do it all over the internet. Hook up your PodXT to your computer with a USB cable. Check out this link:

I haven't done it in years, so I forget the details. I think you start out with the Line 6 Monkey.

pod xt display goes blank (unable to view settings)

My pod xt display works fine then goes blank then works again then goes blank and so on.

It is very frustrating. What can I do?
