Sugar Bytes loves realistic details. Guitarist includes a virtual cable that can be "unplugged" from the amp. Look for a small icon of a guitar cable or a jack plug near the input section of the amp. If it is disconnected (greyed out or showing a plug halfway out), click it to reconnect.

No Sound?

The user reports that after loading Sugar Bytes Guitarist (either as a standalone application or as a VST/AU/AAX plugin), no audio is produced. The virtual instrument receives MIDI input (visual feedback on keys/pads is present), and the host DAW or system audio otherwise functions correctly. This report outlines probable causes, diagnostic steps, and solutions.

Unlike a standard synthesizer where pressing a key always produces a sound, Guitarist requires specific conditions to behave like a real human player.

| Category | Possible Cause | |----------|----------------| | Audio Routing | Output channel not assigned / routed to master bus. | | MIDI Channel | Plugin expecting specific MIDI channel (e.g., Omni vs. Ch 1). | | Volume / Mute | Internal master volume, amp volume, or mute button engaged. | | License / Demo Mode | Unlicensed or expired demo mode mutes output periodically or fully. | | Plug-in Compatibility | Host DAW / OS version not fully supported. | | Sample Rate / Buffer | Unsupported sample rate in host project. | | Corrupted Preset | A saved or default preset with zero output. | | Installation Issue | Missing sound content (IR files, samples, or cabinet models). |
