Hi All
has anybody fried the audio from NOT running a ground loop isolator from the ext speaker out to line in on the PC and the usb cable at the same time?
my volume has halved
I now need to turn it up to max to hear anything that's a bit quieter than usual.
I noticed that when I had the speaker out only, it worked fine but then when I added the usb cable it completed a ground loop and shorted out the audio thus (i don't know 4 sure im no expert) frying 1 of the audio out amps.
Hence I now only have 1/2 volume.
and can this be repaired or do I just toss this scanner and buy another 1.
Im in Australia and am not prepared to spend over $100 to send it back to the US and return.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
