Theonly thing that really bothers me is this faint background hum that is present on basically everything I do when I push the volume, but I cant tell if thats just normal or caused by my current setup.

@@Poopfeels, I'm not that guy with lot's for experience in this topic, but RT cable have lowest noise floor at -90 to -115 dBu so it kinda dirty at -90 rank, it also should be like 40 ms delay in real world which is slightly noticeable (in best scenario, worst cases is like more than 300 ms which could be at low sample rate and all)



you probably wanna go up and play with real amp+cab (combo amplifiers is kinda good, look for vids on youtube, like Rob Chapman, who did amp's overview and all the guitar stuff to sell) which has almost no delay and sounds much cleaner than any DAC you may find on usb bases, maybe PCI sound cards would go up a bit, but still no good as real amp, IMO


@@Alex360 i'm curious how you gathered those information especially since you seem to confuse many things together, for exemple the RT cable in itself doesn't add 40ms that would be probably the worst ADC ever made available but this delay more likely include the audio processing and the DAC making the RT cable way better than what you suggest.


Also you can find more and more combo that include a DSP and do an conversion of the signal to apply some effect. The issue is that you are saying combo are always processing the analog signal which isn't true. Though that's right that a full analog path will always have less delay than a path where you have to convert the signal.


@@Poopfeels you have to understand one important thing here, Rocksmith isn't exactly designed to support any other interface and you are more likely to get more trouble by trying another hardware for the input instead of the RTC which is likely isn't worth any actual gain of quality (if such a thing exist in that specific cases).


But convenience is one thing, let's talk about numbers. Rocksmith will always use your interface at 16 bit and 48kHz. Your interface can be way better, it doesn't matter so the 24 bit and 192kHz from the UR22 is useless in Rocksmith case you won't get any kind of magical improvement there.


Then there's the pre-amp and the quality of the hi-z input that can alter the sound, in RTC cases, it has been specifically designed to work for guitar and bass so that it will give the best possible signal to be analyzed by Rocksmith while i have strictly no idea how the pre-amp has been designed in the UR22 nor can i say if the hi-Z input is actually properly made. Let's imagine that both are good (and that's a big if as i doubt any 130$ interface have decent pre-amp while the RTC don't actually have a variable pre-amp) then you are stuck with unnoticeable difference at best and at worst something very similar.


but hey let's not be sad about it, it might actually bring you one interesting thing, a decent DAC for headphones and monitors but that's by considering you have excellent monitors or headphone which i doubt is the case so you won't notice the difference...


Decent USB interfaces (most common around) will bring you far better dynamic, less noise and reduced latency with software who will use ASIO drivers. In a nutshell, with amplitube, bias (which you mentioned using)... not with RS internal sounds.


@@firekorn, hey, there's was theory thay if you minimize windows timer it should decrease delay thing but it will waste more ticks and burn power faster, could you try if anything changes to you if you power your PC up and try to play RS from that state and then open up this prog ( ) for example and set lowest possible timer value and launch game again or just switch back and see if it does any good to sound delay at all? because I can't really say if it's good way or not, since chrome sets delay to 1 ms when it launches tho...


I have a problem with my ASUS r553l. There's only one jack input for mic/headphones. I tried to plug my guitar via a jack adapter to it but it seems to not be recognized by the computer. I have Realtek HD Audio manager installed but Amplitube can't find my audio device. What should I do ?


Amp modeling software really don't work on laptops. I've had numerous experiences with laptops mixing the jack input with the microphone input causing unwanted distortion and really high latency. The only way I got it to work properly was by using a jack to USB cable as suggested by the comment. You should consider the rocksmith cable. I use it on guitar rig 5 regularly and gives a much better sound quality than a normal jack with an adapter. Or alternatively buy a USB soundcard that has a jack. Check out the m-audio fastrack sound card or anything that's similar
