I setup my Amplipi last night. I am currently using 4 zones and I would like to use the zone 5 pre out to connect to my Yamaha surround sound system, but this does not seem to be working. Maybe I just don’t what I am doing.
The only weird thing I can think of here is that zones and their corresponding preouts are volume controlled by AmpliPi. So you may have to increase the volume on zone 5 for this to work.
Thanks, that did work. if I mute the zone should that stop the output for the pre out jacks?
In the released fw this issue still exists where mute doesn’t actually mute the preouts. This will be fixed by the next software release.
Great. Is the plan to have the volume for the preout to be independent of the speaker outputs as well?
The preouts are connected after the zone volume control so they effectively share the same hardware. Decoupling preouts from the zone output is something we will consider for future hardware designs.
