I installed RSMODS in order to use my third party cord, and now the game has no audio when my cord is plugged in (I can't hear any of the actual gameplay), any help?

Somewhere in Windows 10, there are microphone privacy settings (dont know how at english right sounds). You need to allow the game access to the microphone there.

Also, be sure to check the microphone itself through the Sound panel in the Windows Control Panel.

It's also better to download and install asio4all for free. And use this guide.

It is highly recommended that you first practice setting up ASIO in some DAW or Guitar Rig, Guitar Pro, to understand that you are doing everything correctly, so that you can then try to set it up in Rocksmith.

Also keep in mind that with the asio mod you won't be able to record video from the game.

Oh, and one more thing. If you experience sound glitches in the game itself, disable audio exclusivity in the game settings.

Audio issues in Rocksmith can be surprisingly tricky because there are so many possible points of failure: Windows audio settings, exclusive mode, sample rates, drivers, the game’s own configuration, or the cable/interface itself. I’d start by narrowing it down to whether other apps can actually play and record through the same device, then work upward from there. For testing spoken audio separately, youtube video to text transcription free is a handy quick check too.

thanks for the information!

By the way, in addition to disabling audio exclusivity within the game itself, you can also uncheck the "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" option in the sound control panel. This helps with Creative sound cards.
