Line 6 GearBox 3.1 – Basic Features Guide
MUTE or MUTE LINE OUT button activated (at the top of the GearBox window), the Monitor Volume knob turned all the way down, the Amp Model's volume turned all the way down, or the Track Level slider all the way to the left. If you can hear the Track, but not the guitar, it's also possible that you've got the Gate on with too aggressive a setting. Try turning the Gate off by clicking its icon.
•No system sounds or sound from other programs while using TonePort/GuitarPort hardware – Do these programs allow you to see and choose your Line 6 device or audio driver in their preferences?

•Not getting sound while using PODxt with Gearbox software? - Start by confirming that your PODxt is working OK on its own. Power up your PODxt, connect your guitar to PODxt's INPUT jack, and turn up the guitar's volume. The best thing to do at this point is connect headphones to PODxt's PHONES jack, turn up PODxt's OUTPUT knob and confirm that you're hearing sound. (Using headphones to listen avoids the possibility of problems with some other setup that you might be trying to listen through.) If you can't hear anything at this point, you may have dead headphones or a bad guitar cable; try other ones if you've got them. Also, make sure PODxt's TUNER button is not lit, because PODxt defaults to muting its output while you're tuning.
•If you hear sound through headphones connected to your PODxt, but don't hear sound through an amp and speakers or other audio system that you've connected to PODxt, thoroughly check the connections of your audio setup, and make sure that all the necessary volumes are turned up. Try connecting something else through the speakers, audio system or headphones to make sure they're working.
•If you can hear PODxt's guitar processing, but can't hear Tracks or other audio played back by the GearBox Player, check to make sure you have the Track Level slider up (at the top of the Browser window when the Player is in view), and make sure you aren't having a USB problem.
•If your Line 6 Hardware is not configured as your Sound Card: You must connect a cable from the Output of your Line 6 device to the input of your sound card.
