Troubleshooting
• Try increasing the Buffer Size in the ASIO Driver control panel.
The name of the settings dialog box will differ depending on your software.
* If you change the buffer size, you must exit the software and then restart it.
* Roland can make no guarantee of, nor provide support regarding the operation of sequencer software and audio
editing software made by another manufacturer. Please contact the manufacturer of the software you are using.
Digitally recorded sound is distorted, is at the wrong pitch,
or-contains noise
• If you are using a long optical digital cable, noise may be produced when the cable is
connected, or the sound may be distorted. We recommend that you use optical digital cables
that are no longer than one meter in length.
• Does the sampling frequency setting of your application match the setting of the UR-80's
sampling frequency switch?
Playback or recording halts midway through, and then becomes
impossible
• Was a heavy processing load experienced while using the UR-80, such as accessing the
CD-ROM drive or a network?
If an operation involving a heavy processing load is performed while the UR-80 is in use, it may not
operate correctly. If this occurs, stop playback/recording, and then try resuming playback/recording.
If you are still unable to play back/record, exit all applications that use the UR-80, switch off the UR-
80, then turn it on again.

Recording produces a silent (blank) file

• Try setting the bit rate to "16 bit or higher".
If you are using Windows 98 Second Edition and your recording software is set to a bit rate setting of
8 bits, a silent file may be created, effectively making recording impossible. If this occurs, set the bit
rate to "16 bit or higher", and you will be able to record normally.
• In your operating system, is the audio data input destination set correctly?
• On your recording software, is the audio data input destination set correctly?
• The UR-80's Sampling frequency select switch may have been set to "96 kHz PLAY".
When set to "96 kHz PLAY", only playback is possible. If you want to record the sound from your computer,
choose a setting other than "96 kHz PLAY".

A loud buzz is present in the guitar signal

• Does the buzz decrease when you lower the volume of your guitar?
If the buzz decreases when you lower the volume of your guitar, it is possible that the pickup of your
guitar is receiving noise from a computer or a display screen. Move as far away from the computer
as possible.
Sometimes this problem can be solved by grounding the chassis of your computer, or the grounding
connector of your computer's AC power supply. You should also check whether there is a device
nearby that produces a strong magnetic field, such as a television or a microwave oven.
