Lower the master, channel, or output level on the connected mixer or instrument, then make a new test recording while watching the meter in your DAW. Keep peaks below 0 dBFS and avoid boosting the signal excessively with software gain. Also verify that the plugs are connected to clean line outputs and that unwanted effects or overdrive are disabled during testing.",{"question":156,"answer":157},"How can I record stereo audio with the alesis AudioLink Series USB-Audio Cable LineLink?","Connect the left plug to the source’s left output and the right plug to its right output. In your recording application, create a stereo audio track and select LineLink or the system’s USB audio input as the input device.

If it does not appear, close and reopen the application after connecting the cable.",{"question":162,"answer":163},"How can I reduce noise, hum, or interference when using the alesis AudioLink Series USB-Audio Cable LineLink?","Use short, clean signal paths and keep LineLink away from power adapters, laptop chargers, display cables, and other sources of electromagnetic interference. Connect the source and computer to a stable power arrangement, then test with unnecessary equipment disconnected. Keep the source output at a moderate level instead of relying on extreme software gain. If hum changes when a charger is removed, the issue may be a ground or power-noise problem outside the cable.",{"question":165,"answer":166},"How should I store and maintain the alesis AudioLink Series USB-Audio Cable LineLink?","Disconnect LineLink by holding the plugs rather than pulling the cable, and coil it loosely without tight bends near the connectors. Store it in a dry, dust-free place away from heat, moisture, and heavy objects. Before each use, check the USB plug, 1\u002F4-inch connectors, and cable jacket for looseness or damage.
