Only Clean DI Sound Is Heard with No Effects in BIAS X – Help Center

If you're hearing only a clean DI (direct input) signal without any effects from BIAS X, it’s likely due to audio routing or monitoring settings.

This often happens when direct monitoring is enabled on your audio interface, or if incorrect input/output channels are selected.

Troubleshooting Steps

Check Input Routing
- Go to Audio Settings > Input/Output Channels in BIAS X.
- Ensure you're using the correct input and output channels (e.g., Input 1, Output 1/2) that match your audio interface.
Confirm You're Monitoring Through BIAS X
- If your audio interface has a Direct Monitor switch or knob, turn it off to avoid hearing only the dry input signal.
- For more details, see: Direct Monitoring vs. Input Monitoring.

Use headphones or speakers connected to your audio interface to ensure you're monitoring the processed signal correctly.
