Playing Guitar Throught The PC

[LeperMessiah26]

Ive been doing this for years now,and never really had a problem....but for a few months now,when im playing,the guitar is only coming through the Left earphone for some reason

Everythings plugged in properly,and the audio settings arent panned to the left or anything...

Anyone had this prob before?,and does anyone have any ideas how to fix it?

Cheers Tech-Heads!

The wires could be worn away. Its happened me a few times

[LeperMessiah26]

The cables that connect guitar to the pedal/pedal to PC,or the actual guitar wiring?

he may be referring to the headphones, I am not to sure I will let him answer lol, but I think it could maybe your input jack on the pc itself, I had that problem on my old computer my guitar sound started to cut out and then one day the right side sound stopped working and I think that computer needed a new soundcard anyway

I hope that is a little help, I am not technically very smart with stuff like that haha

[LeperMessiah26]

I aint technically smart either lol

All i can say,is that the Headphones are virtually brand new,so is the guitar and Cables,so it may be the input jack on the PC

Can anyone recommend a good Soundcard that isnt that expensive,but will sound good with a guitar running through it?

I used to break down the system, check each part individually, the earphone, the sond card, the cable, the plugin, and anything else.
Most problems can be resolved without much expense.

If you are in the market for a new soundcard you can't go wrong with the Creative line. They're fairly inexpensive and I've never had a problem running a guitar thru them. I have a Creative Live! 5.1 card that sounds golden with my guitar running thru it - no lag or anything. If you are going to buy a new card and plan on recording with it, make sure you buy a soundcard that is "full duplex" (can play a sound and record from an input at the same time).
Kenyao has the best suggestion, though. Check all those connections first before jumping in and wasting yer cash.
A cheap solution might be to buy a stereo to mono adapter for your guitar cable and that should bring that sound back to both speakers again.
Hope this helps you out!

I used cool edit pro. I plugged the amplifier to the pc. I used the headphone output
