onkyo ht-r590

[harleyman58]

ok I have a ht-r590 and a ht-r990 both have the same problem no audio. the radio will not work, or the headphones. the video works. all the voltages check good. does the hdmi board control all the audio for the entire receiver? I cant find anything wrong. the schematics are already posted in my ht-r990 post just a few threads down ,the schematics are the same for both receivers.

thank you kenny

How about pure direct?

Re: onkyo ht-r590 hdmi board

ok I found out that the hdmi board on the ht-r590 does control all the sound on the unit. if I heat the dts chip the sound comes back to life for a few minutes. I am going to try to resolder the chip to see if that will work.

Re: onkyo ht-r590

I heard the problem was the ic itself, something akin to the nVidia fiasco from several years ago. But as you know sometimes the truth is hard to come by. Keep us posted on the reflow.

Sometimes replacing the SMD capacitors ("top hats") AND re flow will work....for a while.
