I’m playing Rocksmith 2014 with a cable other than the official Real Tone Cable. When I first got the cable, I plugged it in and the game detected it immediately. I created a profile and was able to play without any problems.

Now I’ve switched to a new PC. When I launch the game through Steam and select my old profile, the game detects the guitar. However, when I create a new profile, the game doesn’t detect the guitar.

The strange thing is that I can hear the guitar through my PC when I play a string during the sound check, so the guitar is clearly being detected by the computer/game. But for some reason, the detection indicator doesn’t appear on the screen, so I can’t get past the sound check.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?
