      My dad likes Harman Kardon and Kenwood and doesn't want to upgrade to a good Dolby Digital,DTS Digital Surround Receiver.

          Harman Kardon isn`t what is was back in the day, but nothing is much anymore.

          They are at the bottom of my list for sure!

              what i went through dealing with my mobo with dead onboard sound!
              by ChaosLegionnaire
              so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!! what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol!

              i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing...

              Kenwood SW-505D no sound issue and pops from time to time when it works
              by ex250
              Hello mates,

              I bought this subwoofer a few days ago used and blind and it works erratically, as far as I could see, it has been tampered with, the speaker is not the original one and of 8 Ohm when it should be of 4, and there are some welds like reworked by the boards.

              It doesn't have much power (expected more from it) and it distorts if you increase the volume over the middle, maybe it's because of the high impedance of the speaker. The problem is that it has sound when it wants, the led panels all work correctly, you can hear the power relay on power on, but right now...

              Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB (Chassis SR) TV Repair Help - Distorted Subwoofer Sound and overall weird sound waveforms
              by LEECH666
              Good day ladies and gentleman!

              I am currently trying to repair a Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB LCD TV for a friend that has a weird audio problem. Basically everything works fine except for the heavily distorted sound when the Subwoofer module is connected and there is a buzzing sound coming from the PSU PCB.

              This seems to be a rather rare TV so there is not much prior on topic help to be found however a service manual is available at the usual sources (Electro Tanya i.e.).

              I think the PSU buzzing comes from one of the coils near the bridge rectifier but...

              Not all TVs can handle surround sound on a HDMI input
              by japlytic
              With a home theatre PC connected to a TV via HDMI, Windows reveals that the TV only supports stereo sound even though the TV has a HDMI ARC connection to an AV receiver which is powered on; I also had an issue that the AV receiver does not always retain the input setting for routing the HTPC video through to the TV in standby.
              So I connected a second HDMI cable to the HTPC and set it to duplicate the video outputs, but I had random audio dropouts when playing content with surround sound being passed to the AV receiver (dropouts did not occur when I replayed the content where it dropped...

              Marian Trace Alpha sound card repair help
              by Christos Tsiligiannis
              Hello to the forum.

              My name is Christos, I am new to the forum here and i am posting from Greece.

              So i have this old German sound card from Marian, called Trace Alpha. To be exact i have 2 of them and i use them professionally for my small FM radio station here. The first one works like a charm, but the second one does not work at all.

              To be more specific in the same exact pc with windows 7 (i even tried 32bit) the one works while the other doesn't.

              So i tried asking for a schematic from the company and they would not give me one. Instead they...
