x0xb0x low/no output

Post by jonat8han »

Hi,

I've got a x0xb0x I bought from x0xsource.com in 2009. It recently stopped outputting signal (or, I should say it's *extremely* quiet - virtually inaudible over hiss/line noise). I've written x0xsource.com several times & received no response.

Both the headphone jack & mix out exhibit this behavior.

I did some searching here, and decided the the BA6110 might be at fault? So, I measured the voltages on the pins & they seemed to be consistent with what people on the forums were suggesting. I'm pretty ignorant wrt electronics, but I can solder & test voltages.

Would appreciate help either:

Troubleshooting the problem - maybe someone who knows better can walk me through where/what/how to test?

Repairing my x0xb0x - I'll pay someone to repair it ... I'm in Los Angeles, if there's anyone local

contacting x0xsource - anyone know them? did they shut down? the website seems to indicate they're operational since you can still order from them.

thanks so much

no, no change in the status on this. Sounds like you've got a more serious problem than I, though - all my LEDs are fine!

Please check what happens with your output if you connect a signal to the external input.

If this is also very quiet the problem lies in the final output amp (which feeds also the headphone amp); if this signal is normal we'll have to dig a bit deeper.

Hi MMM,

thanks for your response - sorry, I should have mentioned - the External Input seems to be functioning normally.
