If you encounter ground loop hum, connect the on the back of the K3 to the metal casing of your computer via a wire. If the microphone has no input on a phone, check if your 4-pole cable is CTIA (Apple/Android) standard or OMTP (older phones) — K3 requires the CTIA/AHJ standard. If you have no sound despite the unit being lit, ensure the Mix button is activated so the device knows which input (PC, Mobile, Guitar) to send to the headphones. If the reverb stops applying to your voice during chats, update the K3 firmware via the official Creative application, which fixes compatibility issues with QQ, WeChat, and YY software.
