[SOLVED] Calibration not working

[Lune]

For the first half a second(ish) in the initial calibration it works, I see the green line go up, but then it instantly stops and drops to the bottom. Is there a fix for this?

Hey, after some experimenting, I've found that either of these works sometimes when calibrating.
1. COMPLETLEY muting the strings before the calibration screen ever shows up.
2. Unplugging any USB microphones or headphones.
I don't know why it doesnt work normally. It seems like trial and error but anytime I change the above its more likely to work in my experience.
#1 works almost every single time. #2 is less likely to work but it still may. Let me know how it goes.

Check your connections, make sure your volume and tone are turned up all the way still. Try closing and reopening Guitarsmith, retry it.

Tried everything, everything is all the way up, unplugged and replugged, restarted my pc, I can hear the guitar in the calibration but the actual needle thing doesn't work

i have a similar problem. It tells me to mute the strings, then tells me to make some noise... it registers the noise as i see the line go to and stay at the top. it just stays like this, i have tried several times and made noise for over a minute.

Please help, and thanks in advance1

I have a similar problem as well. I've restarted multiple times and each time its different. Sometimes it keeps telling me to play louder and i play absolutely as loud as i can and the green line doesn't move an inch(Stays at the top of the meter even when not playing). Other times it tells me to keep going and the green line is at the bottom not moving even when I'm playing as loud as my guitar will possibly allow. All the volume and tone things are up(only have 1 volume and 2 tone dials).

Thanks, I'll try this out when I can!

I have not had these problems nor do I have USB headphones or mics, so I've only skimmed the posts regarding the latter, but I know there are issues with USB headphones and I know that RS likes to be the only mic input device. You can search the forums to see if they're related to calibration.

And yes it should help for the baseline input to be muted strings. Otherwise there may very likely be some noise (pickups, any of the wiring from guitar to computer incl. improper grounding).

It might sound weird but the realtone cable seems to even pick vibrations from the environment.
I.E: As it's a bit cold atm I use a heater and it makes the strings of my guitar vibrate a little (really have to put my fingers, lightly, on them to notice).
In essence what it means is that in the calibration screen it picks up residual noise from time to time, which means that I have to hold them down as mentionned above, but not all the way through. When the soft asks me to mute, the first time, I mute them for just a quarter of a second, otherwise it'll pick a completely muted string as being the lowest and it'll make persistent white noise after calibration (because of the passive vibration caused by the heater...>.>)
Don't know if it helps but it could explain "some" problems, you guys have.

No problem man.

Hey guys just wanted to add that I had this problem too and the solution for me was to:
sound > volume mixer > system sounds >0-100

I think I had it turned down because of loud notifications. But apparently the microphone is tied to that output.

For me the game was working but I could never calibration to say my strings were completely muted, tuning was hard (it didn't recognize me hitting the strings), and playing was just constant missed notes.

How to Fix :

Try setting

Win32UltraLowLatencyMode=0

in RockSmith.ini

I want to add my solution:
Change it to Fullscreen=0 in RockSmith.ini, then go to Fullscreen=1 when calibrated
