Realtone cable stopped working

[kihoseo]

I have played rocksmith 2014 with my realtone cable for several years, but the rocksmith started not to receive signals through realtone cable.

The realtone cable driver seems not to have problem. I could see 'Rocksmith USB guitar adapter' in device manager, and it works well with original Rocksmith for PS3(I have original rocksmith and rocksmith 2014 for PC, and original rocksmith for PS3.).

I followed UBIsoft's instruction in UBIsoft's homepage, and tested other USB ports in my PC. But I could not resolve the problem. I could not make any noise in Rocksmith 2014.

Could someone give some advices for me?

Finally , after 3 hrs ,i got into rocksmith options and enabled mic and everything else and it finally worked. Computer saw it fine and it played through speakers but game seeing it was a ♥♥♥♥♥.

I did not have to rollback windows , which i almost tried, It will work with build 1803, win 10.

My PC is also with win 10 build 1803. I have played rocksmith with this one. Win 10 build 1803 is not the cause, I think.

Kihoseo, have you increased the volume on your RT cable? Either via calibration or the old way which is going to the sound properties, and raising the volume or level of your RT cable. This isn't the way to fix the problem. This is only to help determine if your having an issue with the cable transfering the sound from you guitar or if the cable may need to be fixed/replaced. You may know that cables can get broken inside the shielding at times from a variety of issues which may or may not be the issue. It could be that your pickups need to be lowered/raised or other issues. Just trying to help you figure that out.

I have raised RT cable to 100, through sound setting of my PC, but it did not worked either.
And, I don't think the RT cable got broken because it worked with PS3 well, so I think that it is because of the PC. In other words, good guitar, good RT cable, and bad PC.

Thank you for your advice. I will inform after getting progress about this problem.

Ok. Thanks for the info. You most likely know that the ps3 is more simplified than your pc. First make sure you have usb 2.0 and not 3.0, or that could be giving you issues. Unplug any/all things connected to the usb with exception to keyboard, mouse and the RT cable. Check your device manager for any conflicts and driver updates for your usb drives.

Close out all other applications except for RS. So anti-virus, internet browser, etc.
Use cntrl-alt-del to close out any apps running in the background and/or go to the startup section and turn off apps running at start up, (then reboot). Also, if you're using ports in the front, you may need to try the back, or vice-versa.

Sometimes it's like finding a needle in a haystack, but hopefully you'll get it back to working order soon. If you find anything, feel free to let us know and we'll try to help investigate. Best of luck.

Although I have suffered a few days with this problem, I have thought the solution may look like trival and easy one after reaching it.
I really was.

I found the solution in following page.

https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/1875754-Rocksmith-don-t-recognize-real-tone-cable-in-Windows-10-1803-Spring-update-Forums

The answer is simply in,
https://i.imgur.com/FKIbSBx.png

"Microphone privacy settings" that "Allow apps to access your microphone" had been switched to off.
I did not make it 'OFF', and don't know when it changed to 'OFF'.

But, anyway,
I became to be able to play rocksmith 2014 with PC after switching it to 'ON',

I hope this case helps everyone.

@ kihoseo: That's weird that folks have the microphone turned-off due to win 10 update 1803 while others do not. i have the 1803 update but the microphone was unaffected. There must be some rational behind it otherwise all of us would be affected. Glad you found a solution.

Just resolved my issue with the driver not loading by turning off Bluetooth.

I don't think win 10 affected mic setting either. There might be another cause, although I have no idea.

Ubisoft is a fu***** sh** and won't help. I have the same problem since months ago. It doesn't fix. Randomly works, then stopps. I installed the win10 again, and don't fu**** work.

This is a fu***** sh*** and they won't do a **** to help

Did you allow desktop apps to access your microphone? Go to Settings > Privacy > Microphone > allow DESKTOP apps to access your microphone (ON). This is what finally got my realtone cable to work.
