 Audio Signal 

Problem Remedy 

 

No audio at the output 
device, regardless of 
input selected 
 

1.  Confirm that your sources and output device are turned on and connected 

properly. Audio signals connected to the input of your switcher should be 
properly wired to the output of your source. Audio signals connected to 
the output of your switcher should be properly wired to the input of your 
switcher or acceptor. 

2.  Confirm that any other switchers in the signal path have the proper input 

and/or output selected. Pay special attention to input switchers that may be 
built into your switchers or recording device. 

Audio level is too low 
 

1.  Confirm that the connecting cables are of high quality and properly built.  
2.  Check level controls located on your source input device or output device.
