Hi,
I have a server set up at home, and one of its major functions at the moment is to play media which has been downloaded and stored on it, via a VGA interface with my plasma TV and phono cables fed through the DVD player into the surround sound. However, the audio volume is very quiet, and requires maximum volume on the DVD player to be heard, despite the fact that my sky box can usually be heard perfectly well at 25% of the maximum volume.
I have now measured voltage output on the phono cables from both devices prior to amplification by the DVD player, and detected an average of ~6mV from the server and ~200mV from the sky box, demonstrating this difference.
Either way, I'm an absolute beginner with electronics but I'd like to start pursuing some projects, so this seems like a good thing to try. How difficult is it likely to be to achieve this, and does anyone have any tips or resources which may help?
Thanks in advance.
