Rocksmith Cable works outside Rocksmith, but doesn't work in it

Hi! I've been playing Rocksmith for a few months on bass and it's been awesome. The CDLC on this site has been great for helping me grow as a bassist, so I really appreciate the community here!

 

The problem I'm having is a few days ago the sound input to Rocksmith stopped working correctly. I still get a sound from my bass, but it's octaves too low and is just a barely decernable rumble. I tried listening to the cable outside of Rocksmith in the recording devices tab and it sounds perfect, just as I would expect.

 

Troubleshooting I've tried:

-Playing with volume adjustments in the sound bar of windows 10

-Playing with the Rocksmith .ini file

-Reinstalled Rocksmith

-Reinstalled Cable Drivers

 

Nothing seems to be helping. I don't think the cable is broken because it sounds just like you would expect outside the game, it's only inside the game that it's a solid wall of noise. I also don't think it's my guitar because I tried two and had the same result. The game is unplayable at this point because Rocksmith can't detect any of my notes, which is rather regrettable because I was really starting to enjoy myself.

 

Has anyone seen this problem before or have suggestions on how to fix it?

 

Thanks!

Haha, what is the issue if the Real Tone Cable works perfectly and your bass is in tune but is playing several octaves too low in Rocksmith? You might have the "Emulated Bass" option clicked. Silly mistake, but hopefully this post will save someone some time in the future.

Yeah, I noticed that if I switch to bass from one of the guitar paths by clicking on the arrangement in Learn a Song (rather than doing Ctrl or whatever to switch paths as you had to originally) that it automatically switches to emulated bass. Which is annoying, because that's not what I want it to do and it seems like there's no way to change that behavior.

I think that's what happened, I was messing around with some of the new features and then suddenly the game stopped picking up my notes.
