On Windows 10, right-click on the volume control on the task bar, then choose "Open Sound Settings", then under the "Input" section, make sure that the Spark is selected and click on the "Device Properties" link underneath, and then make sure that the Volume is set to 100% (or at least 90%). If you do need to use DAW monitoring, then the volume is instead controlled with the "Music Volume" knob, with the "Output" knob turned down.ĮDIT: Also, if on Windows and your DAW recording level is still low (even after raising the input level with the Spark's "Master" knob), one other thing to check is your Windows input device volume. You only need to be monitoring in one place - preferably, it should be locally on the Spark itself using the "Output" knob, with the "Music Volume" knob turned down. Note that if you are using the Spark to do all your guitar effects, then there's no need to have monitoring turned on for the guitar within the DAW, which is largely redundant, more susceptible to latency, and also could be contributing to extra volume due to redundancy if you are also using the "Output" knob. If you are also monitoring the guitar track, then this output is more susceptible to latency than local "Output". If you have a media player also playing music or other instrument tracks monitored within the DAW, then these will all be controlled by this knob. The "Music Volume" knob controls the final "post-production" volume, after the sound returns from your computer/DAW, back to the Spark.The "Master" knob actually determines the volume level sent to the computer/DAW, similar to the input gain level controls on audio devices like PreSonus/Focusrite.You should be able to adjust this to a comfortable speaker/headphone volume without affecting the DAW's recorded volume. Since this output is local to the Spark, there shouldn't be any latency issues. The "Output" knob controls the local "pre-production" volume (pre-computer/DAW), essentially acting as a local monitor volume.
If you have the Spark connected via USB and you are listening with headphones connected to the Spark (not your computer), then the Spark's controls work like this:
