Hi-Z port does not work but XLR does
HI, I have a Scarlett 2i2 4th gen and am trying to record bass on it using a Fender Precision American Standard.
If I plug the bass into the Hi-Z port on the front, I get no sound from it. I make sure INST is selected, gain knob is up. The light flashes on the interface, but it doesn't output any sound.
My amp is a Peavey Max 208 so it has a built-in DI. If I connect the bass ro the amp and then connect to the Scarlett with XLR, it works great.
I verified it's the correct type of cable, TS style (one ring on the jack). It's a standard guitar cable.
What could be going on here?
