ZOOM B3 > Help me!!

Hi, I bought a ZOOM B3, with the idea of having my bass signal come through my computer speakers so I could jam along with songs on my computer.

I have it connected via USB, I downloaded the drivers, chose the playback device to be 'ZOOM G Series Audio' but I can't seem to get it to work.

Can somebody please give me detailed instructions on how to get this to work? The manual really doesn't help and I have been searching the internet, but no luck.

THANKS!
 
I think the sound will only come from the Zoom B3 output - so you would have to plug the speakers into the Zoom.

From Zooms FAQ's :-


I am able to use the USB audio interface to record, but no sound comes out of my computer speakers. What should I do?

When using the B3 as a USB audio interface, sound from the computer is output through the B3. Connect speakers to the B3 instead of the computer

This works. Thank you Ikkir, you are a gentleman and a scholar.
 
Hi folks.
I've got a Zoom B3 and a new TC Electronic BH 500 amp but when I connect the Zoom B3 I'm getting an awful lot of humming from the speakers. Has anyone else come across this and if so, did you manage to fix it please?
Cheers
Chris
