Why the sound of the E is so muted? The A string has the similar problem to some extent. Never had this problem with previous set of strings.

This may be a problem with the way the strings were applied to your instrument as opposed to the strings themselves... or you could have gotten a couple with manufacturing errors (it happens sometimes). Check your bridge, your pegbox, and your tailpiece, see if there is anyplace the strings look "off". You can always remove and re-string those two strings as well to see if that might fix it.At worse, just contact the seller, explain the issue, and get another set. Ask for a prepaid shipping label to return the current strings if they want you to return it.

I haven't had this problem other than a con-call with someone who accidentally had muted his mic. All I can suggest is that you check your sound system. It doesn't sound like a problem you are going to be able to fix at your end.

There isn't anything about the cable that would prevent sound from an acoustic electric from getting through. It's most likely something with your computer setup. Make sure whatever computer you're using has its input set to the audio in port that this is plugged into rather than some other source like the built-in microphone or other audio in port if you have multiple ones. Also it might be that the software you're using has the sound muted or monitor off if you're using some kind of recording software. Last but not least look at completely obvious things such as you have the system sound muted. :-) There isn't anything about the cable that would prevent sound from an acoustic electric from getting through.

Sounds defective. I would suggest returning it for a refund. I had the same issue with one I received.

Sounds like it could be broken. There is not a mute feature on the device that I'm aware of. Have you tried connecting different Bluetooth devices to it? Sometimes (with other receivers) there can be problems with the Bluetooth pairing.

Much more muted than an acoustic guitar. It is a great guitar but If the sound of an acoustic guitar at is what you want when unplugged, you would be better off looking at an electrified acoustic guitar.

Elizabeth... Not sure exactly what the problem is. I have mine set up through an amplifier and is primarily used for music at a spa where I have several rooms with speakers. Maybe the amplifier has been switched to another setting where only background sounds are coming out as if it were surround sound speakers where only backgrounds are heard. Check setting on amp. Let me know what you find...Steve

Two things you could consider. 1. Are the preferences on your computer set correctly to input sound? I use a Mac so cannot guess how you do that on a PC but you must be able to. 2. On the EZ software panel, headed 'get the music ready to play' there is a slider to adjust the input sound. 'Gain' (sliding upwards) makes the input louder. Try adjusting that. Hope this is helpful. Mine works really well, so try these tips...

Hi David: My unit is very quiet. To test the neutrality of sound I set the EQ sliders at 6db across the frequency spectrum. I then switched between the equalized setting and by passing the EQ entirely; compensating for volumes. I was unable to detect any difference in the sound. I cannot comment on the difference in the two units as I have only heard the older one. Good luck with your EQ hunt.Harry Harris

Sounds like a malfunction. Mine is completely silent. I would send it back.

It's a dull clicking sound, but it's not entirely silent. The reason the click is dulled is because it's actually coming from the underside of the mouse (where the click button is located). As you're already know, the click sound is more pronounced on standard mice since the click buttons are on top.

I didn't have this problem myself. Like someone mentioned, it's possible you typed it wrong. Try it with caps on or off, and check if you typed the letter "o" instead of the number and vice versa. These serial numbers that are created are extremely accurate, but there's always room for mistakes. If that didn't work, definitely contact Akai after registering your product. Enjoy making music once you get it going, this MPC Studio is something I've been waiting for, for years! Check out my beats on Soundcloud if anyone is interested. Good luck & sorry you're having trouble.

the sound is noticeably muted but still functional....for the rear speaker...the front speaker for the most part works OK too if you want it louder just open the headphones port and you get some extra volume ...but just pray you get a good one from the beginning...as my review says 3 replacements all defective and was scrutinized for having no receipt....buyer beware

It could be that your cable is not plugged in fully so I would recomend checking that. Also, sometimes the volume and play/pause button can be a little touchy. I would also recomend letting them sit on a desk or table for a while.

This is one ot he best items for historic tuning and temperaments, The LCD Text needs no light, by itself you can see better, if not try with reading glasses like me, else I couldn't read it too! More on this subject: Have you tuned your keyboard or instrument in A = 428 Hz? It is much better for your voice and health!

Because its broken. It should be nearly silent. Send it in for a replacement.
