Make sure that Rocksmith has access to the Microphone in that tab. Someone said they had to turn off the microphone access, launch Rocksmith, quit Rocksmith, re-enable microphone access, and then launch Rocksmith again for it to work for their cable to work again.
 

Thought that is a user that said that, the official stance from Ubisoft is to reinstall the game to fix the bugs because of the MacOS Big Sur Rocksmith update breaking settings for some people.

It was Privacy > Microphone, but that did it!  Thank you so much!

Anyone know what it means when your playing isn't recognized?  I see the input levels from my guitar working fine with System Preferences > Sound > Input > Rocksmith USB Guitar Adapter, but inside the game, it never thinks I am playing anything.  This just started a couple of weeks ago.  I'm on Catalina.  DLC load fine.

... If all you guys are after is converting CDLC from PC to Mac, there is a python script that can convert the dlc. It's available here: https://github.com/0x0L/rocksmith and to use it you need Python. The command you need to run after it's installed is

pyrocksmith --convert some_p.psarc 

and you get a _m.psarc spit out next to it.

Awesome find!  Half my reason for needing Windows is to convert PC CDLC to Mac.  Now if it could add DD, I could ditch Windows altogether!

I like all mine to have DD, so here's some more script-fu:

Convert all DD-enabled PC CDLC to Mac and move to the proper dlc folder (my CDLC's tend to collect in ~/Downloads until they are ready):

$ cd ~/Downloads # or wherever you have your PC CDLC

$ find . -name \*_DD_p* | xargs -n 1 pyrocksmith --convert # convert all to Mac

$ mv *_DD_m* ~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Rocksmith2014/dlc

Strip out the extra characters that confuse RS2014:

$ cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Rocksmith2014/dlc

$ for a in *[A-Z-]*; do b=$(echo $a | sed -e 's,-,_,g' -e 's,_v[0-9_]*\(_DD\)*_m,_m,g' | tr -cs "[:alnum:]" _ | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]" | sed -e 's,_psarc_$,.psarc,g'); mv -v "$a" "$b"; done

 

I don’t know if Rocksmith particularly needs them in the final version, but I figure it can’t hurt. 

My experience with RS2014 on Mac is that it often fails to recognize CDLC with long and crazy filenames.  I shorten each one and remove the apostrophes and dashes, etc. so that RS won't crash.  I think leaving those in actually do hurt.

YMMV.

C'mon guys.  I know you're all at home under quarantine.  Perfect opportunity to get this working!

would LOVE to!  what do i do?

I'm on Catalina and the Rocksmith Launcher doesn't... launch.  Anything I can do to help?  there's no screenshot since there's no launch.
