Title: Line out is quiet
Post by: Willie T. on June 18, 2004, 09:10:38 PM: I am trying to listen to my computer over my reciever (Denon 1843), I am running line out (stereo mini) > 2 rca that connect to the back of the reciever. Even when the volume is up almost all the way on the reciever, the sound is barely audible. Any help would be appreciated.

Is the sound audible when you run the computer to a pair of powered computer speakers?

Yes it operates normally when plugged to powered speakers, and the sound card I am using is an ESS Alegro. Thanks again.

Post by: Willie T. on June 26, 2004, 01:29:27 AM: Johnny cable is one I made myself, it's worked in other applications. As for ohm, iin the past i have done a similar thing by running my md's line out to the reciever. I will check that again, maybe there's a setting i am missing. Thanks alot, and +Ts to all.

Post by: cheshirecat on June 29, 2004, 01:41:38 AM: What happens if you hook only one channel up?

Is it possible to try a different cable, perhaps this one is grounding out somewhere??? Possibly on the PC side??

Post by: Willie T. on June 29, 2004, 07:02:32 PM: I will check the cables here in a few minutes, +t for the suggestion.

Post by: Willie T. on July 08, 2004, 12:04:10 PM: I tested the cable with my multimeter and it says that all the connections are good, I guess i am at a loss. So maybe i did the wiring wrong, so if some one know's a good webpage or want's to describe it, i wouldn't be more thankful.
