I installed a USB Samson XPD 1 microphone into my laptop and after I found the volume setting it works great, problem is I no longer have the Play along Wizard working. I have gone into the play settings and enabled the smart note and wizard features, but I still have no sound. I did a return to Factory settings and still nothing. Is my problem in audio drivers ?

Hi,

When you have the USB microphone connected does sound eminate from the built-in laptop speakers, laptop headphone jack or does the USB microphone include a headphone jack and, if so, are you listening to sound at the headphone jack on the microphone?

I have a Samson USB microphone and the microphone includes a headphone jack for real time listening. When I use the microphone I have to set both ny record and playback audio settings to the Samson USB microphone so my suggestions are to check your audio settings and to use the headphone jack built-into the microphone.

My Samson USB microphone is the Samson GO mic. I have been very satisified with the recording sound quality. The microphone has a clear sound but does not sound harsh or brittle. My chief complaint is the packaging and user manual indicates a threaded microphone stand adaptor is included. However not only is the adaptor not included but it has not been included for a long time and Samson never updated the manual or packaging. The microphone can mount to a stand using a spring loaded clip but I don't trust the clip since the mic has slipped from the stand multiple times.

Thanks,
This is a link to show exactly what it is. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1187637-REG/samson_swxpd1blm5_xpd1_presentation_digital_wireless.html
Now going through some searching to fix my play along wizard has left me with a noise at the end of my songs. It is like a couple of seconds after the last bar a thump. If I can't get it fixed I will phone tech support next week.

Sorry I missed your question, I am playing my laptop through a Samson Expedition 150 PA, and the mic comes through the speakers. No headphone jack on this one, I play Sax have it mic'ed as well and I use a sound mirror, a reflector that clips on the bell. This allows me to exclude a monitor as well.

Can you hear the playalong wizard if you,re not using the USB microphone? Or

You can't hear the playalong wizard at all since you installed the USB microphone?

I suspect that when you found the USB microphone volume setting you accidently lowered or muted the playalong wizard volume setting.
