solution of static noise

[Dredd]

1. sorry for my english
2. Static noise appeared after the first start of game. It vanished when I touched strings or other metal parts of a guitar or when I started playing. But it appeared again all the time after.
The solution which helped me:
It is necessary to change settings of the Rocksmith USB Guitar Adapter on on yours PC:
Go to: Sound Properties -> Recording -> Rocksmith USB Guitar Adapter -> Properties -> Levels
Change microphone level on 0 and static nois will disappear
That's all, good luck!

A different solution (re-calibration of the noise gate):

1. Go to tuner
2. Start calibration
3. When it tells you to mute the strings TOUCH THEM FOR JUST A MOMENT AND REMOVE THE HAND!!!

This way the noise gate is based on the unearthed/ungrounded noise of the guitar and not the artificial grounding/earthing you create when touching the strings.

Helped me with two different guitars.

Massive help there Jar'On. Found heaps of forums telling me its my cable and your post saying to just re calibrate. The noise has now stopped after recalibrating.

Thanks!

Ditto Jar'On! Thanks! I just got a new axe for Christmas and it introduced some static (my Strat had none). This helps me out straight away! Appreciate the post!

Jar'On's solution works for PS4 too. Thanks.

Ok

Ill try that

I was just thinking i had to keep the strings muted whenever idle.

I assumed it was cause i have a hollow body which would resonate feedback from the home theater system in my lounge room.

For me, not only in rocksmith but also with my amps, but the only thing that's really get rid of static is copper shilding. not hard to be done and it's a game changer.

Static noise can happen because of a messed up guitar jack as well, there are A LOT of reasons to this. Even some of the most expensive guitars can do this, so yeah.

If your computer's internal audio jack is UNSHIELDED you may get noise interference, while some of these suggestions are helpful if your actual audio is picking up noise from your fans processor etc a couple things you can do.

1. Make sure to use shielded copper cables internal to your machine
2. Install a secondary sound system and use those audio inputs
3. Make sure none of your cables are crossed, meaning if you have a tangled mess of cables audio cables are sensitive to heat and other sources close to them which could be a power cable or other usb cables make sure to keep things neat and tidy, really this is a no brainer but you'd be surprised how a quick clean-up could resolve this issue
4. Check audio input on guitar and make sure it is seated and screwed tight (mine wasn't, didn't resolve the issue but it was loose out of the box)
5. Try the above suggestions as well as they may do the trick though you still want to maybe take my suggestions as well as having a clean through-put sound is key to gaming in general. Determine where that interference is coming from and if it is your computer's audio jack none of these suggestions will work since the source of the interference is actually your computer and its setup.

Hope that helps!

BTW: I fixed my problem by doing a cable clean-up apparently my audio cable was literally wrapped around the power cable and was touching other cables as well. While this wasn't a problem with other games, Rocksmith is particularly sensitive.
