Pa4x sound problem

[Chandeneze]

Dear group. I have a problem with my Pa4x. The sound is extremely soft. I have to turn the volume to max to hear sound. There is also a scratchy sound like a radio that is not on the station.( A SHEEEEEE sound extremely loud) I have to turn my PA system almost to max to hear the sound. It is not the PA system as my Tyros 4 plays perfect. Any suggestions

(Also, try using a different audio lead.)

If nothing else works I would do a back up that's a full backup of all your stuff and then...
Format and reload your operating system,,,
do not reload your backup,,
test the system out see if there's any noise..
There is no noise then it has to do with some of your settings styles sound something like that...
If there's no noise I would load one item at a time global done sounds , styles and so on...
And I would reboot between each item that I reload sometimes loading something does not to take affect until the reboot...

But if you format and do a clean install and you have no static noise or hissing sound..
And it has to do with something did you did new sounds new styles changing he cues something weird

Strange? Had a sound problem with my pa1000? It started after loading osimo songbook set. Had to reload operating system...
I would think about what you added last before the problem started. Could be number of things, corrupt style/sound?
But not a tech, just a user...

First things first...

Check the headphone outputs to see if they’re having the same problem.

Hi thanks for the reply. I have done all that you have suggested and it is still the same. I am coming to the conclusion that it my be the amplifier card. I have contacted Korg on SA but they are closed. Korg Uk does not want to assist me. Any suggestions on where I can purchase a new amp board.

Hi thanks for the reply I have tried the headphone and it works perfect. I am convinced now that it is the amp Card that is faulty. I have contacted korg in South Africa but they are closed. They are at the best of times useless to deal with. I wanted to order a EC5 from them and they said to me they do not import EC5 so I bought it from Thomanns in Germany. Any suggestions where I can purchase a new amplifier card.

Will they sell these boards to consumers?I replaced the amp board years ago on my Roland accordion. A few months back wanted to buy a spare and they stopped selling internal parts. Just hardware exterior parts to consumers.

I’d have a technician check the arranger before you throw money at parts you aren’t 100% sure are faulty or not...
