Is there such a thing as a wireless guitar cable?

Help with Lightsnake USB Guitar Cable?

• Can someone please help me with my lightsnake usb guitar cable? First and foremost... Grrrrrrr!! So I got this nifty little thing for Christmas and the instructions said with something so simple you dont need help! Just plug in and go! WRONG! I plugged in, the light glowed green, I opened sound record and the light went nuts. I played back and heard nothing and while recording it did not indicate it was picking up any noise. So I checked my settings, Playback> Default speakers (not 2-usb audio) Recording> 2-usb audio device. Still nothing. I went into the properties of the recording and pushed some buttons and now I can hear my guitar if I put on my super awesome skullcandies that I also got for christmas =D but there is so much static noise or feedback I guess that youcant really hear it. I figured it was my splitter so I also plugged in my mic and turned it on and said a few things but there is still so much annoying feedback. I played with it a little more and now Im back to not hearing anything except the feedback. Someone please help before I strangle myself with this little contraption! Thanks in advance! Oh, I also tried with my electric guitar and it didnt make it any louder, still really quiet in the backround and lots of feedback. I should probably try through my amp but the whole reason I was given this was so that I wouldnt have to mess with it.

• Answer:

  The Lightsnake is a audio converter to USB. It is not a microphone - is that what you were expecting? The phono plug, the big one is supposed to plug into an electric guitar, or musical instrument. For recording, you need to choose the lightsnake device (not the microphone), and then adjust the volume control for that device to a reasonable level. I don't have one, but my son has a guitar with lots of amplifiers.
