007 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I have some promedia 2.1's the amp volume is about 1/2 but the input volume from my pc is at 0 and when the signal comes in, i hear some poping or clipping from the song. If I turn up the amp volume the popping gets louder even though I still can't hear the song. Any explanation for this? This also only occures out of one of the channels (not both) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodger Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Just directly answering the subject question. Clipping would be possible. It's what the amp is putting, or trying to put, that would clip. Possible over-driving by too much signal input, event though it may be 0, perhaps it's too high. dodger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007 Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 So is my amp toast? It does it even at very low amp volume, its just the popping sounds are quieter I suppose it could also be my revo 7.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtaylor Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I know this is simple but have you tried switching your speakers around to see if it follows your speaker or is in a component? Have you made sure your connections are tight,they can go bad. Let us know if you've tried these actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007 Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 well, i swapped my front and rear channels in software mode, and the poping has stopped, it looks like it could me the front Left dac in my revo. Dammnit that thing was expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason: Friend called up frantic, had Jazzercise class to teach. Tape deck would do nothing. My wife has some knowledge of equipment tried, nothing. I drove 9 miles, walked in looked at it, turned the power on. I've reversed phase. So hopefully it's only 1 thing. Good Luck dodger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007 Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 Ok, I downloaded foobar because I realized the popping could just be the mp3 files. foobar has seemed to work and the poping sounds are gone. I was worried about the poping because it was only out of one channel, I found that to be strange, but foobar seems to have fixed it for now. However, one my rsx-5's (a seemingly different problem) still makes a fuzzy noise out of the midrange driver. I hooked it up to where my other RSX-5 was and it still emits the sound, but the other one does not. I made sure the connect was good. The sound seems to get worse with time (or heat of the voice coil perhaps?) : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtaylor Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Your popping may have done in the midrange driver. Hopefully not. Don't know the speakers you have. If they are in warranty you're in luck, if not open them up and see if the connections inside are in good shape. If they are I don't know anything else to check. Maybe someone else here can help. If not it is off to the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007 Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 thanks for the help guys. the poping out of the left channel may have induced this problem with this speaker, or not. Either way, this speaker is not healthy Also, i think its impossible to open up the rsx's unlesss you know how Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When moved around, it must have come in contact with mid driver. Optomistic view. dodger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
