MP3 files - running, but I can't hear any sound

Post by Diff »

Hello,

I've just bought a used PA1X Pro and the seller told me that the MP3 board is also installed inside, along with the CD/DVD drive and 32Mb memory.
Whenever I want to play any MP3 file, I can open the file in the Song Mode, I hit Play, I see it starts to play and time is counted second after second, but I don't hear anything. The MP3 volume is up 100% in Audio Setup.
Anyone have any idea how can I fix this problem? It can be other bad setting somewhere else or the MP3 board is damaged?
Thank you very much for your time! Any help would be much appreciated!

Regards!

MP3 Playing but no sound

Post by centauramp »

The MP3 player only works with sequencer 1 make sure the balance slider is in the middle or is to the left. If it is to the right you will not here anything. Goto global, audio, MP3 tab and make sure the volume is up at 100%. You mentioned the MP3 volume was up. This is controlled by the ACC SEQ Volume slider. make sure it is up. There is a chance that the MP3 board even though it is working has lost it audio out feed, or there a bad connection to the audio section of the internal audio amp. You could always try unplugging the board and cleaning the contacts then reinstall. Do not have it plugged in if your going to pull the board.
Good Luck PS: maybe some one else has had this problem before and will see this post.

and be sure that the audio signal is routed to the outputs you usw - do you hear anything if you usw a headphone? if yes, maybe it´s a routing topic. if not maybe you have a harder problem.

I've used sequencer 1, slider in the middle..., to the left... In global, audio, MP3 tab the volume is up at 100% ...
ACC SEQ Volume slider? Where?
