Rocksmith - Once again toxic Ubisoft attacks? Help with cable thing

Real Tone Cable gives you good quality of sound and little lag without need of having a good sound card. There are some workarounds, I'm not sure if they work with Steam though. I recommend getting a Real Tone Cable if you have crappy sound card anyway.

I've got Real Tone Cable and it's work great, and about workarounds, i suggest you to instal the demo and try by your self ;) Free tip from me: Google will guide you.

You can try looking up "NoCable" for some alternatives.
Been reading up more on it again (since the last time I read about it, my memory misremembered the alternative solutions as being fairly straightforward, if rather involved, when in reality, the alternatives are pretty inflexible and hacky).

In part of what I read, it seems the game itself can't use ASIO (although the cable can), and instead uses DirectX [edit] no longer true? see ninjalj's reply [/edit] for its audio. In case you aren't familiar with ASIO, not being able to use it (on Windows) is fucking terrible. ASIO is one of the lowest-latency options and it's what I always use when recording with Reaper and my own pro-level audio interface (generally speaking, audio interface = sound card on steroids, in case you aren't familiar). So it is apparently impossible for the game to have less than 30ms of latency. 20ms is audible, 30ms is godawful (slight exaggeration... but it will slowly drive you mad) for someone who has a good sense of musical timing. I usually try to get down to around 7ms or less with my own equipment.

In other words, I'd probably just get the stupid official cable if I ever came to own the game legitimately. Perhaps you can find some in your country (or willing to ship to you) on ebay?

I have known how to trick the program into believing your cable is real. It's been a time and don't know right now. Formatted my PC. But there was a video for this. Let me check it on my list for you ^^

I would like to know too. If I need that cable to get non-laggy sound on my integrated audio card I'll delete the demo right away.

Here it is:

"1. Find you sound driver name in device manager(example: Realtek High Definition Audio).

2. Go to windows registry editor(regedit).

3. Find this line HKEY(underline)LOCAL(underline)MACHINE(slash)SOFTWARE(slash)Microsoft(slash)Windows(slash)CurrentVersion(slash)MMDevices(slash)Audio(slash)Cap­ture

4. Then in this category find your "line in" port string of your sound driver.

5. Replace you driver name on Rocksmith USB Guitar Adapter.

6. Go to control panel -> sound

7. Check recording tab

8. You line-in controller name must change to Rocksmith USB Guitar Adapter(Just in case, switch off other unused ports in recording tab)."

This is it. This worked for me. Hope it works for you too. Copied them straight from YouTube comments.
At 3rd one, put "" where it says "(slash)" without quote marks (""). And (underline) = _

In clarity to what I read, the usb adapter is the same for the PC, PS3, and 360. No matter what the description says, it will work on all 3.

Hope you can find the cable. It's awesome. It could be worse, it could require UPLAY. :p
Actually get really decent sound when recording with Audacity for instance.

Here's what I did (I bought the cable but it hasn't arrived yet).

• Download the patched Rocksmith.exe from here.
• Find your "Line In" device under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/MMDevices/Audio/Capture" in the Registry and rename it to "Rocksmith USB Guitar Adapter".
• Disable all other Recording devices under your audio options/devices in Windows.

And that's it. Worked for me. You can now connect your Guitar to the line-in of your Sound Card and use that.
