QMX without audio


 

It sounds as if the left encoder is not working properly. Check on the terminal diagnostics screen. there are a number of RED items. when you successfully exercise each of these items, the RED will go away. A strong suspect is that the left (volume) encoder is not responding to clockwise turning. This might be a bad connection from the encoder to the encoder sub assembly or a bad connection from the sub assembly to the main board. If you can check the continuity of those paths, you might find the issue.?

Or you can just PM Hans and see what he can do for you.

Hello good morning.
Thank you very much for the help you are giving me.
Now I have audio but when I turn the volume knob, it doesn't go up or down.
When I turn on the QMX I see firmware version 14 (which was the one I updated yesterday).
Today, I will try to connect to the terminal applications.
Then I tell you

Hello, I hope you are well.
Run the hardware diagnostic and observe that the controls work fine, except for the volume encoder. If I turn it clockwise it shows ">>>>" and the same thing happens if I turn it counterclockwise.
Here is the result of the test:



Do you see something strange?
Some suggestion?

Thank you

Juan,

The screen and test show a problem with the left encoder.? That could be a connection, a solder joint, or a bad encoder.

I suggest contacting QRP-Labs support to see if they can send another encoder.? I again urge you to find a local Ham who can help with the diagnostic and repair.? You must take apart the QMX, desolder the old part, and solder in the new part.? It is also a good idea to visually inspect all the connections to the control board.

Thank you very much Evan!
I'll see how I solve this problem.
I will try to contact Hans to see what solution he gives me.

Juan,

Yes, very wrong. The left (volume) encoder is definitely not working correctly. A bad encoder is one possibility, but a bad solder connection is more likely. Now you have to trace the circuit from the encoder lines back to the main PCB to find out where it is not connecting. Highest probability is right where the encoder wires are soldered to the control sub assembly PCB. Other possibilities are a bad solder connection of the male and female pin connectors between the two boards. If you find no discontinuity, then a bad encoder is possible.

Good luck tracing it! Hopefully it is something simple.

Mine does that every now and then. A quick power-cycle fixes it. Another bug, I reckon. I haven't replicated it enough to report it.

Thanks for your responses Ron and Evan. I did what Ron told me to do and I also did the factory reset but the volume control still doesn't work, that is, I can't raise or lower the volume from the volume knob.

?This can happen if you enable IQ mode. Make sure it's disabled in the System Config menu.

Hello Steve, how are you?
What is de IQ mode??What is de IQ mode? Where is it deactivated from?
Thank you

Juan, I am well!

IQ mode reroutes the audio to the built-in USB sound card. I enabled mine one day and lost all audio from the speaker jack. Go through the menus until you get to the System Config menu. From there, you will see a setting called "IQ Mode". Make sure it is set to DISABLED.

Juan, estoy bien!

El modo IQ redirige el audio a la tarjeta de sonido USB incorporada. Un día habilité el mío y perdí todo el audio del conector del altavoz. Vaya a los menús hasta llegar al menú Configuración del sistema. Desde allí, verá una configuración llamada "Modo IQ". Asegúrese de que esté configurado en DESHABILITADO.
Thank you very much Steve.
With the firmware update to version 14, the audio problem was apparently solved. The problem I'm having now is that the volume encoder doesn't work.
I am waiting for a local colleague who knows about electronics to try to solve it.
I will take into account what you tell me about IQ mode
I never used my QMX again.
