Nice to join you all on this forum!
I have a little problem
I recently started selling these DACs:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MUSE-24Bit-192Khz-Digital-Optical-Coaxial-to-Analog-RCA-Audio-Converter-DAC-/190709809264?pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_HomeAudioHiFi_Amplifiers&hash=item2c6730c070
I've sold a few without problems, but today I've got a customer who reports that the volume level is very low when he uses it with his Samsung PS43E490B1W TV.
He's not communicating with me very clearly, but I've bust my balls trying to fix the problem, to no avail
Obviously there could be a problem with his unit, but it seems much more likely that his TV is set up wrong, or that this device is not entirely compatible with his TV. I've tested the same device (same model, different unit) with my computer and it has the same output level as my USB soundcard.
I've read the manual for his TV, and it seems the only option that might fix that is the change the audio output format to PCM. The manual does not actually list the formats available, but this says the TV has only 2 types of dolby output, not PCM or LPCM.
I'm a home theatre enthusiast myself, but so far I'm still using a large monitor as my screen, so have no experience of TVs with optical outputs, etc.
Could anyone please explain to me why the output would be so quiet?
