i connected my guitar to my PC through a midi cable but couldn't hear any output.I basically want to use my computer as an amplifier.
wrong cable man if you want to record guitar into your computer you need to go GUITAR PATCH CORD into your guitar, and then the other end goes into a mixer, amp or POD, and then connect the output(s) to your PC's soundcard.
probable not. some routers and switches have a function that with out delay senses the fashion of port it really is appropriate to, yet maximum probable you've gotten to apply a right now by using Ethernet cable.
