I tried recording some tracks and thought it was working. But when I went to I tunes and tried to play them there was no sound. Any suggestions?

I know this is an old post, but thought I would add my two cents. I had the same issue. My computer showed that the item was recorded. I could see the levels on the speakers indicating the track was being played but still had no sound. I tried just unplugging the headphones from the Ion Tape Express per an earlier suggestion, but that didn't work either. I then unplugged the Ion from the computer, and bam! I had I sound. I think as long as the Ion is still connected via USB it is using that for playback. Once you unplug the USB it will play through computer. Hope that helps.

I wish I could help. I have had no problems. Did you go to their website, to try and troubleshoot?

Sorry, we haven't used the ION for converting. Good luck with your project.

You leave a lot of questions as to what you are doing. I personally don't use the ION software and iTunes. I use Audacity and another MP3 player. I've converted over 600 cassettes so far. With Audacity you can do a lot of "cleaning up" of the tracks like "noise removal", "normalize", "amplify'', etc. Let us know what you are doing.

Two things you could consider. 1. Are the preferences on your computer set correctly to input sound? I use a Mac so cannot guess how you do that on a PC but you must be able to. 2. On the EZ software panel, headed 'get the music ready to play' there is a slider to adjust the input sound. 'Gain' (sliding upwards) makes the input louder. Try adjusting that. Hope this is helpful. Mine works really well, so try these tips...

I had the same experience, then realized that I still had the earphones plugged into the ION tape machine. Did you try playing the files after disconnecting the earphones, and perhaps even the ION player? Fixed it for me! (Sorry about the big type--don't know why it's doing that.)

I had a similar issues but without further details it is hard to say if you aren't getting your mic to register sound or the headphone jack to playback the sound. I had to set my rode pod caster to the default device but this is on a windows platform. If mac has a similar function i would give that a try.

It could be your input cable from your music source. Try a different cable first before declaring the unit defective.

You can use your iphone-ipad or mac's output for sound output. There is No output on Jam.

Maybe it is defective. Make sure it is on, and the green light is on by holding the middle mp3 botton for 2-3 seconds. Make sure the volume is up by holding down the up botton, and try forwarding tracks. Good luck...

I am not sure... I recorded 4 files, it came up in MIDI format - but when played in other media the accompaniment themes came like static noise. I was opening the files in various programs - the same noise instead of the melodies, even Yamaha itself plays it correctly.

Had the same problem then I noticed if you don't push the MODE button, it works fine. Also don't push the MODE button if you want it to play all tracks and then stop.

No not really, i had the same problem with this, there might be a solution somewhere, but I haven't found any. I just use an external audio recorder with Xlr inputs, I don't use these adapters anymore

I have the same problem and unfortunately have not been able to play music from it either. Maybe we can get an answer from the makers on what we might be doing incorrect.

The sound quality on my CDs was fine. I used them from the CDs but also transferred them to my itunes, and never had issues. If you're having problems with sound I'd contact the company and exchange it for another set. Sounds like a technical issue with the discs.

This particular device is not a "player" so you don't ever get good quality. I don't think it plays faster when I listen to mine, but sometimes it records things too fast. Try listening to the music you record as an Mp3 on your computer. If it sounds right then the device is working. They now have a new homepage and updates for the player on-line so you might go there and see if there is information to help.

Hi, I think you may hsve the same issue I had. If so you must convert your music to mp3 format. If your using iTunes you can do that I believe by selecting your song, right click, and should have an option for mp3 conversion. If not look under options on the Tab bar. Hope this helps!

I have had the same exact problem. Worked great for awhile; now just shows it is recording and doesn't register any sound. Would love to hear if anyone has a solution?

May sound overly simple and you probsbly did these things.. but make sure u have the volume up on the controller. I have mistakenly turned it off or down and didn't realize it. Other than that make sure it's connected to the computer. If still not working you should contact manufacturer or amazon to rerurn. Hope you get it fixed. It's a great system.

Try audacity its a recording software for Windows and Apple and if that doesn't help try Sound Record or Cakewalk
