Help. First Time User and NO Sound!!

  • I am plugged into the input direct from my guitar,
    I have 2 cables going from the left and right output on the back of the KPA
    The cables are plugged into the Left and right Mic line inputs on the back of my MBox,
    And that is connected to JBL Powered Monitor speakers.
    My KPA is plugged in and the lights are on.


    I am not getting any sound.



    What am I missing?

  • Two things to try.


    Connect the KPA outs directly to your monitors.


    Plug in headphones to the KPA.


    If you get sound in the above scenarios, then it's most likely a monitoring issue with your interface. I have a Fireface 800 and need to set direct monitoring in the TotalMix software mixer. Otherwise, you have to open up your DAW program of choice and arm the track to record in order to hear the output.

  • Ok, I ran the KPA directly into a Fishman Loudbox Mini and that works.


    That narrows the problem down to my MBox.


    Any help with that will be appreciated!


    Thanks,

  • I don't have an mBox, but a couple things you can look for.


    1. Check if direct monitoring is on. Sometimes this is required. You should find it in the control panel for the mbox.
    2. Try arming a channel for record in your recording software, to see if you get a level.
