        Subject:        [xl7] Weak S/PDIF output, known but non supported issue????


Hello list,

I just talked to Ruud van der Matte who works for Creative/E-mu in 
The Netherlands. I called him about the weak audio coming from the 
S/PDIF output compared to the signal coming form the analog main 
output.

The manual sais this is an exact copy from the main output. Well my 
ears and a level meter say it's almost half the Db's in volume. So, 
it's a problem with the S/PDIF implementation the E-mu.

Ruud just talled me that he spoke to David Andersson from Creative/E-
mu in Dublin, and he talled him that it's a known issue BUT the 
wan't do anything to fix it!

I just called Creative/E-mu to speek to David Andersson myself, but 
I could not reach them. I got the voicemail of Monica and asked if 
the could call me back on this issue. 

Besides that Ruud van der Matte tolled me that the problem with a 
disturbed S/PDIF output (grounding) was also a known issue. The last 
machines that were released, have a workaround implemented. 

There were small copper plates placed between the top and bottom 
cover, so both parts make better contact. That solved the problem on 
the disturbed signal but not the weakness of the audio.

I thought you should all know this.
