Hi all, I have a Bharinger 5 channel mixer, and I would like to connect some external sources to it like a stereo system, and my laptop. I have all required cables, and 3.5mm to 6.3mm adapters for them. However, each channel has 2 inputs. If I connect the cable from say, the laptop to one of the inputs, the output is very quiet and unclear, and only plays in 1 stereo channel, the left or the right. This is with the input volume turned up, and the volume of the laptop also turned up. The same thing happens if I connect the laptop or stereo to the other input on the channel. So, in short, if I connect an external source to my mixer, it only plays in the left or right, and is very quiet and unclear. Do I need to buy a certain type of cable with 2 connecters on the end? Or do I just need to buy a mixer that doesn't suck? --Check out my radio and TeamTalk server! http://www.jls-radio.com -- James Scholes E-mail: james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN/Windows Live Messenger: jamesscholes@xxxxxxx AIM: JamesScholes000 Skype: james.scholes Website: http://www.jamesscholes.com Blog: http://www.jamesscholes.com/blog Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/jamesscholes Find me on Facebook!
