Noise is heard during audio playback

❏

Is the AUX INPUT LEVEL knob raised?

→

If you are not using any audio devices connected to the 
AUX INPUT, set the AUX INPUT LEVEL knob to 
minimum position.

❏

Is a mic or guitar still connected?

→

If a mic or guitar is connected to the GS-10, disconnect 
the mic or guitar. Disconnect any audio devices you are 
not using.

❏

Noise is sometimes heard in the line input or mic 
input.

→

If a USB-compatible MIDI sound module and the GS-10 
are connected via USB to the same computer, and the 
outputs of the MIDI sound module are connected to the 
line input jacks of the GS-10, noise from your computer 
may be heard via the MIDI sound module from the GS-
10, depending on the computer you are using. If this 
occurs, you can either connect the MIDI sound module 
and the GS-10 in parallel using a self-powered hub, or 
connect the MIDI sound module via its serial or MIDI 
interface.

❏

Are two or more audio devices such as the GS-10 or a 
mixer connected to your computer?

→

Try connecting only a single GS-10 unit, and check 
whether the noise disappears. If numerous audio devices 
are connected to a computer, noise may occur depending 
on your system. In such cases, connect only the GS-10 to 
your computer.

❏

Does your sequencer software support ASIO 2.0?

→

If your ASIO-compatible software does not support 
ASIO 2.0, it will not operate correctly if you use [GS-10 
ASIO2.0 16bit] or [GS-10 ASIO2.0 24bit] as the ASIO 
driver.
In this case, select either [GS-10 ASIO1.0 16bit] or [GS-10 
ASIO1.0 24bit] as the ASIO driver.

❏

Does your sequencer software support 24-bit audio?

→

If your ASIO-compatible software does not support 24-
bit audio input/output, it will not operate correctly if 
you select [GS-10 ASIO1.0 24bit] or [GS-10 ASIO2.0 
24bit] as the ASIO driver. In this case, select either [GS-10 
ASIO1.0 16bit] or [GS-10 ASIO2.0 16bit] as the ASIO 
driver.
