Hello all
Wonder if anyone can shed a light on this issue I'm having.
I am using an Onkyo 507 AV receiver with Tannoy FX 5.1 speakers.
I play audio either through my laptop's headphone jack to the CD input, or directly through my phone's headphone socket.
When I'm using 'pro logic', 'all channel stereo' etc modes the music sounds fine. Not perfect as it's not a perfect music setup but still pretty good, clear, loud enough etc.
I'm mainly playing 192+ mp3 files.
However, if I put 'pure audio' mode on it sounds terrible. It's about ten levels quieter in volume, it sounds muddy and distorted and I can't help but feel something isn't right. This is especially annoying as I want to use this mode so I don't get a delay with the sound when I'm messing about dj'ing on my laptop.
Anyone got any ideas, or is it supposed to be this awful? I'm sure the original files can't be that bad in quality and although the speakers aren't top-level by any means, they shouldn't be this bad surely, as they are fine with different sound modes...
Any thoughts appreciated.
