Hooking a computer to DTXpress

Hooking a computer to DTXpress

2006-12-07 by akascottdr

I hooked up a laptop to the aux in while listening with headphones and 
it sounded like I had to much gain.  The volume was very low even when 
the volume was all the way up.  Long story short, the output of the 
laptop does not work anymore.  Does anyone know what I am talking 
about?

I am not sure I fully understand, but if you want to put the output of
a laptop into the AUX input, I would suggest you turn the volume of
the laptop up to maximum.  Then adjust the AUX volume on the DTXpress
to get the volume balance correct.

I did that, but I think for some reason hooking the laptop into the DTXpress aux in fried my outputs of the laptop

I cannot see how that would happen - the AUX input is a high impedance
input.  Are you certain the laptop output now doesn't work, e.g. on
headphones?
