almost no audio output
Posted: Mon Dec 08, 2025 8:23 pm
I have an original 8000dle board that has worked perfectly. Updated software to earlier Thetis (3 years ago) and it has been working with that. Just updated to v2.10.2.11x64 (07/17/25), it chooses protocol 1, loads, and runs with everything seeming to work except audio volume is extremely low.
I am not using VAC. Both audio sliders work, tracking CAT commands from an external controller, but with sliders at maximum audio is barely detectable in headphones. At everything max gain I can barely hear it, but I can detect it still responds to the sliders. The CW sidetone volume is normal (at maximum it'll blow your ears off). It is NOT a hardware problem.
I also have a G2 in the den, running a slightly modified version of V2.10.3.x64 which chooses protocol 2 and it works normally. When I move it to the main station Thetis chooses protocol 2, everything seems to work except exactly as the 8000dle does: the audio volume is essentially noexistent.
Seems like there must be something in the later Thetis that I'm not handling properly, but damned if I can figure it out.
