Denon Receiver AVR 1909 seems to loose "volume/power/wattage" when using headphones ?!?

Hello,

The Denon AVR 1909 seems to loose "volume/power/wattage" when my headphone is plugged in...

The "hole" where the plug goes is a big one... so I need to use an extension plug... which goes from the little PC headphone like plug to a bigger plug...

It am not sure if that is the cause of it... it seems like it...

But it could also be the denon having issue's with headphones ?!?

Kinda weird... (Is this a known problem with it ?)

I guess I could plug my headphone into the back of the soundcard... but then I have to go all the way back there...

I think that might be possible... though I am not sure... I'll probably have to pull another plug from the surround sound set... oh well. (I rather not mess with my soundblaster ;) :))

Bye, Skybuck.

Loading thread data ...

I think it's definetly an issue with the receiver itself...

I plugged everything in real tight...

It's very noticeable... the drop in volume all of a sudden when playing music/headphones...

When I switch between winamp and other applications all playing music the effect is noticeable...

I think it's probably some kind of Denon AVR Receiver feature... which prevents "sudden bursts" from reaching the boxes/headphones ?!?

But in this case it seems to get confused and do something weird when headphones are plugged in ?!?

Hmmm...

Bye, Skybuck.

(Gonna add some audio newsgroups... maybe they are familiar with this little problem and might now a fix/setting or so ? ;)) (I don't use my headphones that often but it s kinda annoying when I want to use them and the audio volume falls off :( ?!?)

(Also I wonder if frequent switching between headphones and boxes might kill the receiver... it seemed to do that for the gigaworks... but that was a piece of crap anyway ? ;) :) "The flies (insects) zooming in "Left for Head" killed it strangely enough ;) :)" (Don't tell anybody I wrote that ! ;) :))

Stop using dinky little cheapass computer or walkman type headphones with a high end stereo receiver. "Get a pair" for normal audio use that covers the ears .

The headphone is a sennheiser, which is top quality... it gives beautifull sound normally... sometimes even better than my 7.1 surround sound boxes ! ;) (Except for the basses ;))

So it's definetly not the headphone, and probably not the plug-extension, but definetly the denon receiver...

I don't understand how you can make a comparison between the sound coming out of your speakers and the sound coming out of your headphones. Is there anything preventing you from simply turning the volume knob up once you've plugged in the headphones?

Hmmm...

Maybe it's the cable to the headphone... near the headphone itself... it has a cable plugged into it.. when I wiggle it the sound is clear/better...

So it might be a cabling issue after all... or maybe even magnetic interference ?! from gsm/wifi networks or so ?!?

Bye, Skybuck.
