Hello, I'm having a strange issue i'm having trouble tracking down. I have some passive speakers hooked up to a power amp which is also hooked up to a subwoofer. Most of the time the subwoofer is on standby mode to allow the audio to pass thru it.
My problem is that every couple songs, the right channel will get very distorted and the Input/Output Comparator warning light will light up for that channel. So far I have tried everything from redoing all my cables to triple checking my levels. What i have found is that it's seemingly random and the only cure is....... to whack the side of my subwoofer.
The wiring is as such:
USB Audio Interface into Power Amp with XLR cables
Power amp into Subwoofer full range input with speaker wire
Subwoofer speaker outputs to passive monitors
I was certain the problem was in the power amp or USB interface cables until i swapped them all out and the problem kept happening every once in a while, now i'm wondering if my subwoofer is the culprit, but could it even be a part of the problem if the problem ends up in the power amp?
Does it sound like my power amp has issues if this same USB audio interface never has the same issues with any other setup i have used it on? Unfortunately i only have one power amp, so i can't swap them out to test that theory.
