I've been enjoying my SE/30 for a bit now, but the audio is lacking. I can get quiet audio from my headphones if I set volumes to max. If I try to run it through powered speakers I have to crank it to the point where the signal gets rather noisy and unpleasant. Needless to say the built-in speaker doesn't make a peep.
I'm curious if other people have run into this. The machine looks like it was recapped not too long ago, but I wasn't the one that did it so that doesn't mean I'm sure it was PROPERLY recapped (and even if I did it myself... that means nothing haha). I suspected maybe an incorrect cap or something was put in, or possibly busted opamp, but figured I'd see if others have seen this before I start multimetering the whole damned board in hopes of finding something out of sheer luck... Like I said audio is present on the headphone jack (though quiet even at max volume) so at some point the circuitry is functioning, at least partially. Or maybe this is just how the SE/30 is and it never had very loud audio? Not having used another before it's hard to say...
