PAA4X + PAAS + SMARTPHONE

HI,
why do I not hear my smartphone connected to the mini jack 3,5mm Line in through my PAAS speakers ? Fortunately I thought to make a check from the headphone before sending everything back and this works. I suppose (hope) it's just a setting but i didn't change anything as I'm overwelmed with the setting possibilities of the instrument.....

I think a simple thing like this should work without changing any settings

(The first time i connected the PAAS I didn't have any sound from the PAA4X, the second time it worked.......)

thanks for any advice

Hi,

You will probably find your answer in this thread:

In particular, my post from Mon Dec 18, 2017 6:46 pm.

Basically, the Audio In setting of the Global: Audio & Video page has to be set to "Line" (as opposed to "Mic") to hear the input from the mini jack.

Cheers
Simon.

Thanks I did find it after a couple of searches but this is absolutely not coherent. Why does it work over headphones ?

It's like you have too less contacts on the PA4x to trasmnit the micro and the line-in to the PAAS. The PAAS are not cheap and neither the PA4x!

I was surprised and disappointed as well... No rational design explanation I can think of for this choice of behavior.

Dead sdridentity,
Many thanks for that tip. It has solved the problem so my wife is happy. (She uses my expensive keyboard as her music system when I’m not here!)

I looked everywhere in this arcane manual - especially under the heading INPUTS and it says nothing about this. Maybe I need to be Italian to follow their logic.

Anyway, sdridentity, I am so grateful for your help. This Forum is really wonderful.

I wonder if I’ll have to go into GLOBAL again when my microphone arrives and I want to use that.

Kind regards,
Johnmak

Hi everbody,

any ideas if the issue that you have to choose between line in and mic over the PAAS system is solved with OS 3.0 or is it a hardware issue?
