    Apex DT250A Digital Converter Box low sound

    Hi guys; i have an Apex DT250A Digital Converter Box. It had been working well for the last couple of months.

    About 2 weeks ago the audio started cutting out. This happened a couple of times.

    Now I have almost no audio. If I turn up the volume on the box to max and the volume on the TV to max then I can hear the audio very faintly if I sit next to the TV.

    The picture is great and closed captioning works great.

    To make sure it is not a TV/cable problem I swapped the cables from the DTV converter with that of the DVD player and still no audio. Used the same cable with the DVD player to the same inputs on the TV and I have audio. So it is not the TV or the cable.


    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      iirc, this model was plagued by bad caps. And yes, photos would help.

        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...

        Roland KR-3500/4500 Digital Piano. Crackling audio sound on all keys -Fixed
        by i_am_patch
        Hi All. I had a Roland KR-3500 Digital Piano (similar to the KR-4500) that exhibited a Crackling audio sound on all keys. After reading somewhere about someone with a similar issue who had replaced all the Electrolytic caps I decided to also go down that route. (Spoiler : It worked !) After some basic troubleshooting I determined that it could be noise feeding thru from the Keyboard scanning since the Demo tunes played back undistorted and the Audio amp / speakers were fine ( Inserted an Audio signal into the rear Audio input). After extracting the main board from the shield, I replaced 7 Capacitors...

        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...

        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...
