TUNER PROBLEM and STATIC- Can't tune/Can't get past tuner first string low E

[R0NER0NE]

I have a very similar problem and it seems to be even worse for me. I just got Rocksmith2014 for PC today - I cannot get past the low E (first)string on the tuner - for me the meter bounces up and down -999 to +999 and everywhere in between - it never settles anywhere - constantly tells me to loosen and then tighten the string - and constantly tells me to only "hit one string at a time" - Compounded with this primary problem that is the same as everyone seems to be having is another , perhaps more serious problem, that I am experiencing : When I do play the low E string for the tuner, the note sounds absolutely horrible/distorted/ mostly very STATIC-eey!

My particular guitar is an Ibanez that happens to be very hard to tune because it has 3 allen screw clamps at the top of the neck to lock down the strings so it takes longer and is a pain in the A-Team.

Also - I have no clue about guitars and it may be possible that my strings are way outta wack because it seems extremely ultra sensitive whenever I touch it or even breath on it and the Rocksmith game seems to be picking up additional strings every time I touch the guitar.

I did tune it using a different tuner, so the guitar was tuned precicesly to EADGBe - I just can't get past E - Also, I turned my realtone cable volume level from 17 to 65.

I am going to the guitar shop tomorrow to see if the guy can plug in a different guitar and get me past the tuning stage so that I can play the game and start learning how to play. At least then I can narrow down the problem to see if it is my guitar or the cable. I hope the problem is not my laptop hooked to a stereo system/ and hooked thru hdmi to my T.V.????
Please Help ! Any and all advice would be appreciated - Thanks




Just wanted to clarify - I also still get the static sound when using just the laptop built in speakers. The stereo and t.v. are not involved or on, and I still can't hear a CLEAR STRING without static and distortion.
Also - I got an Ibanez RG Series - 5EX1

Sounds more like an audio problem than a tuning problem; if the audio input isn't working properly then there's no way the game can recognize notes.

Make sure the RealTone cable and your sound output device are both set to 16-bit @ 48KHz.

Try working through the audio setup guide that comes as a PDF with the game (or other audio configuration guides on this forum and the official forums).

I think some people have had problems if they didn't calibrate their guitar right. Choose to recalibrate again. As I understand it, it is best to play as loud as you can. Then when it tells you to silence the strings, only mute for a moment. That way the noise gate gets set to the sound your strings make when they aren't being played.

I know the solution to this and all problems have been solved. I was answered by someone on one of my posts and he told me exactly what to do to solve this and it worked - just posting this in case anyone else ever has this problem in the future -
The problem was solved by accessing a notepad file(one of the game files) right click on rocksmith2014 in your steam ,my games. Browse Local Files - find all the files that were installed with the game- on mine (PC version) the file I needed to modify was called rocksmithconfiguration - open that - it should be a notepad file with a list of things and = signs, like; win32ampreference=2 or something etc.etc.
It was just a matter of changing the numbers after some of the = signs and everything has worked fine from there - I got past the tuner and more importantly, when I strum a string it is CLEAR and actually sounds like a distinct note, not just static - so thanks to the guy that helped me solve my issue - I.R. Dianetics - he is a pure genius !

Well, thanks for being so specific about that.
