How to fix Volca Sample's noise issue?

Post by Jannevse »

Has anyone figured out how to fix Volca Sample's noise issue? I have lot of noise. Even when the volume is turned down. Noise is coming both from the headphone output and from the speaker (when headphones are not connected).

I opened the unit and tried to see if there are bad soldering or loose wires, but everything seems okay to me..

Have you try other cable? I had few midi cable with hiss problem. Also unplug any electric device in your studio and see what happens. A bit of noise from hardware is normal and I actually like more than a "dead" DAW sound.

remember that it's a stereo output.
depending on what type of input you are going into: mono, stereo, un/balanced, you might get variable results, especially if you're using mono.
or maybe it is faulty if it's excessive.
but there is a bit of hiss on mine. not bad if you crank it up.
