[SlimDevices: Radio] Headphone Volume Too Low
Hello All: New owner here of the Squeezebox Radio and first time post. I really love the product so far, except for one nit. The volume that comes out of the headphone jack is very, very low and requires alot of adjustments. I planned on using my Sennheiser RS-130 wireless headphones with the radio and was not pleased with the low volume coming through the headphone jack. I had to play around with raising the volume high on the radio and then adjust the wireless headphone volume as well to get a "decent" sound. I searched the forum here and see other posts about amplified speakers being used through the headphone jack etc., but wanted to ask if there is any adjustments, plug-ins, software updates or work arounds for the low volume coming through the headphone jack? Thanks in advance! -- nyrhky94 nyrhky94's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35174 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72948 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Headphone Volume Too Low
Sounds like the usual "more than one volume in the chain" problem. If you're using something with its own volume control, you should set the radio to full volume, and use that device's volume control. Why? Supposed you set the Radio to 50% volume... now you have capped the max volume of the other device... Since I like the water hose analogy... The city provides water on a nice 1" pipe. You decide you want a shutoff valve in the middle to adjust the flow, and you set it to 50% open. Now, when you take a shower, the faucet in the shower, turned up all the way, gives you less flow. But if you go back and open your valve 100% of the way, your shower faucet now has more pressure, and at half-open, it is able to provide the same flow as before when the new valve was 50% open... and at 100% open, it's got much better pressure. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72948 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
