The guitar’s volume knob is set to a low level. Turn the knob up. If your guitar has more than
one volume knob, make sure to check all knobs.

You are using a non-shielded or broken guitar cable. Your guitar’s shielding may also be
insufficient. Try replacing the cable with a shielded model first. If this does not help, you
should consider having your guitar’s electronics serviced and shielded by a professional.
If you’re experiencing hiss, the input level of the GUITAR RIG MOBILE I/O might be too low.
Turn up the instrument’s volume or increase the input level on the GUITAR RIG MOBILE I/O.
For more information on setting the input level, see section

6.1.4 Ground Loops
Ground loops (usually perceived as a hum or buzz) are a common problem when multiple
electrical devices are connected to the same power circuit. The following steps should help
to eliminate them:
•
Disconnect all devices you are not currently using, e.g. peripheral devices you may have
connected to your computer (external data storage, CD burners).
•
Hook up a DI box behind the GUITAR RIG MOBILE I/O outputs. Most of these boxes have
a ground lift switch, which allows breaking the ground loop and eliminating the noise.

RIG MOBILE I/O driver and more information.
6.2.1 Driver Issues
