Sound Cards & Sound Issues
One of the many unique features of your Line 6 Hardware is its ability to function as a computer
sound card. You can choose to make your hardware the preferred sound card for your computer, or
alternatively keep your current “Built-In” sound card the default device for playing system sounds,
etc…, and connect your hardware to it so you can hear GearBox tone thru your computer’s sound
card.
