saw that my left and right were 185% !!! HOW??? anyway does that mean the speaker is blown now!!! How do I test for that because its lower volume but just as horrid sounding and the worst part is how did it get set that high when I only know how to use the buttons on the radio (im totally new to this hence kit).,.
Idk if anything else is out of wack found the setup file and ran it but it bombed on pivumeter because of cache I don’t know how to uninstall on this setup so about all I can do is reflash the sd card and see if it still persists - this stinks!
(oh btw I also found this: USB Mic stops working after installing Speaker Phat
I did the settings to default.pa and default.conf and didn’t affect anything - yes I know its for mic but hey im grasping at straws now :(
Edit: Just disconnected speaker from Phat Beat and I have 4.1Ohms and speaker says 4Ohms (and I correctly have switch set to one speaker) so that should be good
