Cause 2:

The card output is turned OFF.

Solution 1: Turn on the card output that is used. 

See RS-232 accessible commands 
in section 7. If no sound is present, 
see Solution 2.

Solution 2: If there is still no sound, see 

Cause 3.

Cause 3:

Cable connections to the 
destination are incorrect.

Solution:

Make sure the cables are connected 
properly. Also, ensure that the 
continuity and wiring are good. If 
there is still no sound present, see 
Cause 4.

Cause 4:

The destination amplifier has a 
problem.

Solution 1: Make sure that

the destination 

amplifier is powered. If there is still 
no sound, see Solution 2

Solution 2: Set the volume of the destination 

amplifier to a reasonable level. If 
there is still no sound, call ALTINEX 
at (714) 990-2300.

8.3 SOUND DISTORTION

Cause 1:

The source level is above 1V p-p.

Solution:

Make sure that the source level is 
below 1 Vp-p. If the sound is still 
distorted, see Cause 2.

Cause 2:

The destination amplifier provides 
excessive amplification.

Solution 1: Make sure that the source signal 

level is high enough so that the 
destination amplifier does not have 
to provide excessive amplification 
and thereby distort the signal. If 
there is still sound distortion, call 
ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300.

8.4 SOUND LEVEL IS LOW

Cause 1:

The volume levels are 
inappropriate.

Solution 1: Turn up the source volume. If sound 

level is still low, see Solution 2.

Solution 2: Turn up the destination amplifier 

volume. If the sound level is still low, 
see Cause 2.

Cause 2

Poor signal transmission.

Solution:

Check the cables for continuity and 
make sure that connections are 
wired properly to verify that there is 
good signal transmission.

Note:

Test the system by removing the 

MT108-103

card from between the 

source and the destination amplifier. 
If problem persists, call ALTINEX at 
(714)-990-2300.
