    Star sound amp problem

    Hi all.
    I have a Star Sound 2000w car amp. It started with cracking in the speakers. I opened it up and found the pot marked "level" to be the culprit. I bought a new one but now the sound, on both channels, to be very distorted. There was an ic KIA393 with no output so I replaced it but the problem still the same. I dont find any fault on the mosfets or faulty caps. Any help here please.
    Regards

      Re: Star sound amp problem

      Is it possible the speakers have been damaged?

      Is there noise when the audio source is off, disconnected or muted?

      Basically I'd trace the power section to see if voltages seem right and ripple is at a minimum with no output or continuous tone audio input. Next trace the audio path AC & DC voltages. If all else fails you can probe with a (cheap) speaker leads to hear what it's doing in the signal path but limit current once the signal passes any significant gain (amplification) stages.

          Panasonic TX-24A1UN CRT Sound and Input problem.
          by hugocarmo
          Hi.

          I´ve been given an old CRT from Panasonic, it´s almost new, it was storaged and almost not used since bought.
          It is imaculate inside, almost no dust or debris inside.
          The picture is good, but I have no left sound channel, I tried all the inputs, outputs, even on headphone jack. In AV2 I hear sound from right channel but no image, on tv tuner only right sound channel, the same for AV1.
          So I started to look for a service manual, I found one, and started from the beginning.
          Most of the times the caps are the problem so I orderer all the caps for all boards,...

          by Alija
          I have a sound problem on my dell latitude 5300 2 in 1 laptop.
          Sound was working on the laptop and I had 2 Intel drivers and one more. When I turn on a song on You Tube, there is no sound, I uninstalled the drivers and tried to install them again, but now in the device manager the sound card is not visible, it only has Intel HD
          Please help me

          Samsung Galaxy A22 - strange problem with sound / speaker
          by cazi1001
          Hello,
          I have a Samsung Galaxy A22 5G with a strange error image.

          If I have a call, I can't hear the voice of the interlocutor and he can't hear me.
          If I switch on the lower speaker, I can hear the interloutor through it and now, he can hear me too.

          If I listen music via Youtube, even the upper or lower speaker don't work.
          If I switch louder or quieter, the sign on the screen show me a headphone.
          If I plug a external speaker via Jack plug or USB-C, I can hear the sound.

          Does anyone have any ideas, what the problem could be?​
