Low or No USB/Computer Input?

Owner's Manual Reader
When upgrading to Firmware 2.03 or later from any version of Firmware 2.02 or earlier, you will need to adjust the new USB Return Level parameter in the I/O menu, noted here: https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/axe-fx-iii-firmware-version-2-03.145132/

From the Home Screen, press Setup
Nav to I/O, then page over to the USB tab

The first time you update, it will be set to -40dB which is very quiet. Recommended settings are -6 or 0. You should not have to adjust this after the first time.

just posted in the axe 2 about this. glad its a sticky now.. plenty of people are going to fire up the forum over this. easy fix though.
 
Just a little note: Make sure you turn ALL of the USB channels up for -40dbs. I adjusted 1 and 2, and was wondering why 7/8 were so quiet for reamping. It was because It was still at -40db.
 
What's the equivalent value to achieve the same volume before the 2.03 update? -6dB or 0db?

Hey Chris!
So I haven't tried this yet myself, but I'm wondering something...can this new USB level be used to adjust the volume of music coming from an iphone/ipad into the axefx 3? I remember there being some issues where the USB audio was hardwired to output 1 with no way to adjust it's volume which made the backing track too loud for playing along...does this remedy that?

Thanks!

Brian

That's the whole point.

All usb channels? Where Do I adjust that? There’s only usb return level to adjust under the I/o-menu.
 
This is for the Axe-Fx III - unless you are from the future.

Haha! What? Thats What it says on the firmware tab. I have to go and look again.

Yes. It says “rev: quantum 7.02 mar 21 2017”.

So have I installed firmware for axe fxIII? Is that even possible?

I’m might be from the future - if your current year is 1984

The thread is for Axe Fx III. There is no FW 7 for Axe Fx III, so the assumption is you have an Axe Fx II... Which doesn't work the same way.
