Need help with audio level

[jumper_cyclist]

Have feed setup, everything turned up and still low volume...any suggestions?

are you plugged into a line out or a headphone jack on the scanner? What about the computer, line-in or mic?

Best is line-out to line-in

Headphone to mic, line on doesn't seem to work

I would at least plug it into your line-in on your computer. That will help a lot.

If you have a line-out on the scanner use it.

If that doesn't help you might need to get a 3.5mm amplifier or simply look into getting a better scanner that has a line-out.

The headphone outputs are often limited to a certain level to prevent the user from hurting himself by putting the volume up... As was said, look for something with a legitimate line-out port.

Make sure you're looking at the RECORDING volume controls and not the PLAYBACK ones. In Windows O/S's you need to go to the Options > Properties menu in the volume control applet.

I have this problem, but only when I run the scanner from batteries. It seems to halve the output level when there's no wallwart power source. Just adding this in case your scanner behaves the same way. I'm about to buy an isolation transformer so I can use the wallwart again, because I'm getting volume complaints without and a nasty buzz with!

Ok, hooked up from scanner headphone jack to line-in...playback and recording levels were/are up all the way, on wall power. Tried moving all left or all right, didn't work, so adjusted still in middle
