Sonoma support FAQs

I am seeing a red light on amplifier/DAC – what does this mean?

Headphone cable is not connected properly either to the amplifier/DAC unit or to each ear cup. Please check for a good connection.

I cannot hear sound via analog connection?

First check whether the analog/digital source selector is in the analog position. If it is, then check that the Hi/Low rear panel selector switch is in the appropriate position. If it is, then check your source component to ensure it is operating correctly (Is the volume set to mute on a portable audio player, for example?).

There is no sound via S/PDIF digital input?

First check whether the analog/digital source selector is in the digital position. If it is, then check whether the S/PDIF digital output of your source has NOT been turned off via a menu function. If not, try a different S/PDIF cable to eliminate breakages/connection issues.

There is no sound via USB input?

First check whether the analog/digital source selector is in the digital position. If it is, then check whether a S/PDIF signal is also present – if it is, either power off the S/PDIF source or, use a menu function to disable the S/PDIF digital output. If a S/PDIF signal is NOT present, check whether the XMOS USB driver has been selected on your computer and in your playback software. Check also whether the output has been muted within your playback software!

I am experiencing stuttering/glitching in USB playback?

Is the USB connection made via a USB hub? We have found that some cheap hubs can introduce playback issues. Try connecting the M1 directly to your computer. 
If no hub is used, check the activity level/number of open programs on your computer. It could be that something else needs computer resources, which is interrupting playback.
