Just got it and it doesn't work with my guitar. It does play music though the head phones. Any thoughts?

What app for are you using and what os will not work without a compatible app like andrig for android or irig for Apple iPhone etcetera

I know when I used it with GarageBand on my iPad, I had to turn the volume up fairly high and under settings I had to make sure "monitor" was turned on so you can listen as you play. I've also not been able to get it to work without playing AND using the headphones at the same time. I'm not too happy with this cable personally, but I guess it works OK. Hope this helps at least a little bit!

It did not work for me. I had it paired with my LG phone, but when I plugged in the charger cable, the connection dropped. Incidentally the ear buds provided are not suitable for music, but when used with good headphones the music quality is good.

I know it doesn't have any hookups for electronics. Being a straight acoustic guitar with no frills, this cannot be used with Rocksmith. Try an electric guitar, or an acoustic/electric. (There is a possibility you could use it with Rocksmith, but you need to buy a soundhole pickup for acoustic, then somehow connect it to the game cable, probably wouldn't work well at all)

I bought the system (receiver and headphone) and an extra headphone and it works fine. only the first time I used the extra headphone I needed to pair it with the receiver through the ID set button on the receiver. very direct no hassle. I hope you got your problem fixed.

It does play music yeah. You probably have failed to pair it with your phone or computer. Also it likes long presses to turn it on or turn it off, just FYI.

Yes, William, you can plug it into your amp. There's a headphone output on the back, a miniature jack, so you'll need to get an adapter to 1/4 inch phone jack for your guitar amp input, and off you go, dude.

Hi - Have you consulted the manual? If it did not come with a manual, you can always find one online. I have not heard of this problem before. When you try to play it out of the speakers, make sure you have the headphones removed from the jack. Also look for a master volume control.

I am not sure exactly what you mean. You can hear your strumming or guitar playing just as if you were playing through an amplifier. Also you can use the headphones to listen to music

It doesn't connect to a guitar.You can sing with it connected while playing a guitar.

works just like a regular guitar pickup, will only pickup the guitar its attached to, I think one of the reviews mentions that, yeah, if you want to jam or play out, should be fine,

Just tried it with my Sennheiser PMX 100 and HD280 pro headphones and got nothing. But I have noticed at times some strange static through the headphones as I move around at my desk. I can't pin it on the ICON, but it only happens when using it... so maybe that does pin it on the ICON...

The device has a headphone output and stereo balanced output, both of which can be connected to speakers. I wouldn't advise running it through a guitar amp as you are meant to use it with an amp-modeling app which simulates the sound and characteristics of an actual guitar amplifier. Therefore, if you want to hear it out loud, just run it through a clean set of speakers or directly into the PA (depending on your situation). I will also add that this is a great device and gives a clean signal path for modeling apps.

As long as the headset has a "mini XLR" connector, it will work perfectly with this. There is a gain control just underneath the battery cover to control the output signal as well, but I get plenty with it on it's lowest setting with a guitar anyway. Another cool feature is the battery cover can be used as a mini flat head screw driver specifically for adjusting the signal output. Pretty convenient because that way you don't have to bust out an actual screwdriver just to make a small adjustment if you ever need to. One thing to watch though, if you're getting the red "clipping" light on the receiver every time to transmit a signal, turn the output signal all the way down on the transmitter because they come factory up at about 80%. If you still get the red clipping light at the lowest transmitter setting, you may want to exchange it for a different one. I had to do this with my first one because it was just wired too hot from the factory; the replacement I got has worked perfectly ever since! One more thing, keep the output level on the receiver turned all the way up, this has no effect on the clipping, but effects the signal output directly in that you may experience signal loss if you don't have it up all the way. I think they say this in the set up guide that comes with it, but I missed that part until I emailed the technician about my issue with the first unit I had. AKG's technical support is probably the best I've ever dealt with too, I just went to their web site akg.com, went to help, emailed tech support and I had a response from an actual technician within 12 hours. Pretty awesome actually! Hope this helps!

The tuner its self doesn't play through the amp. The guitar has to be plugged directly into the amp

Yes! I bought this specifically to play Rocksmith and it works beautifully. If the game says it can't hear you, just turn up the volume on the guitar itself. It's absolutely gorgeous and I cannot be happier with it.

It should turn on and tune accurately and regulate the volume, bass to the amp, etc. Amazon has a 30 day return guarantee. I would also try another battery and then contact Amazon which also has something like an A to Z guarantee. My guitar came with a lifetime limited warranty small packet which covers quite a bit. It sounds like others were missing this packet too. Did your guitar look like it had been used? I hope things work out ok. A new guitar should be almost perfect!
