Re: [slim] Update notification without a link or ability to update?
it's Win10 these days. Don't you get a notification from the tray icon when the update is ready to be installed? Screenshots attached it just points to a github page.

Re: [slim] SB and Low Volume on Klipsch Promedia Setup
would be to run the sb into the lipa (which will control the sub as intended) and try to run the "speaker out" of the lipa into the satellites, or, if you have another speaker(s) handy, just to test. Then control the volume from the lipa. Continuing to think, you might have three gain stages in the signal path, the sb volume (if not 100%), the sat, and the lipa Jim Redrum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113854 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I read this thread, went away, thought about it, then return, and @chill had replied. My thoughts exactly. No distortion is the key. It sounds like a gain issue, or more specifically, and impedance mismatch. I am not familiar with your klipsh 2.1 speaker setup, but it looks like the typical "computer speaker system". I had an altec lansing system back in the day. I remember trying to use the subwoofer for something else and gave up because there seemed to be additional control wiring that I didn't know what to do with. I never got it to work right. I just could never figure out what do do with the extra wires :) It seems like your klipsch system takes the line in signal into the satellites, which have a volume and bass attenuator, then the signal is fed to the sub. The sub (on the kilpsch) has no attenuation? But now the lipa does. How do you have it hooked up? If you have the sb3 into the sattelites then the attenuated signal into the sub, that could be your problem, even if one of the two volumes is turned up full, it is still a possible impedence mismatch. I think your extra receiver experiment might be revealing Jim Redrum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113854 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SB and Low Volume on Klipsch Promedia Setup
In the past I've made the mistake of assuming that more power equals more gain. I'm no expert, but my understanding is that although more power would be needed to drive an amplifier that has more gain, for an amplifier that has a certain gain, more power simply allows for less distortion. Too little power for an amplifier with a given gain will lead to distortion. So if you're hearing clean, undistorted sound but at a low volume, I doubt that would be because of the power supply. It points more to the input signal being too low (which is what the output caps thread is about). I'm happy to be corrected by those with more knowledge. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113854 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I actually have two Lepai unit. I'll try hooking my DC power supply up first set at 22vdc and let the amp draw whatever amps it needs - that should eliminate my hacked power supply as the culprit. If power isn't the issue I'll swap out the Lepai with another and see if it's a cap or other discrete component issue on the amp. It's possible that this little plate amp needs more gain to work with - is should have plenty of power to crank the Promedia equipment to at least comfortable levels. My bet is power supply - converting a charger to a DC power supply is an iffy business as I have no clue how the control circuitry does and what happens when you isolate the sense wire.

Re: [slim] SB and Low Volume on Klipsch Promedia Setup
Could be the output capacitors have failed which causes volume loss. Easy DIY fix if you search on the Forum for instructions.
