Have a Behringer 1202 Xenyx FX, balanced cable into a new windows 7 PC and keep getting hiss. When I raise the gain, mic or master volume the hiss is more awful. my internet broadcasts sound awful. what am...

You are running your balanced cable into a windows 7 PC? What interface are you using... not the line input on the PC I hope as it is NOT balanced... it is Stereo input with UNBALANCED input. If you tie the mixer using a balanced to 1/8 inch balanced connector you will get plenty of hiss since you are driving the stereo channels oppositely. For high quality, get a good audio interface that runs on the USB of the PC. If you can tolerate a bit of noise but wire it correctly, then you will need to use two UNBALANCED lines out of the mixer for L and R and merge them to a stereo 1/8 inch plug for the PC.

Recording quality just went downhill fast.

Make sure your computer audio is NOT set to "echo" as this will loop the audio back out. This setting can sometimes get set by whatever... it happens.

Loud humm when the drive channel is on

I suspect the power supply has an issue. Most likely bad filter capacitors. This could cause "motorboating" where power is drawn and supply voltage collapses and then recovers repeatedly.

Time for the repair shop. The parts cost should be nominal... labor... well...

I tune on my frontman 25r and when I input I dont get any sound other than hiss.I tried two different cords and guitars but nothing but his. what should I do?

It sounds like a failure in the preamp stages, but fortunately you can do a lot of troubleshooting externally.

Drive the "power amp input" jack with another source of audio that has some reasonable output... like a small CD player. If this works (no mind the level, just the quality, that will verify if the power amp is OK.

If the power amp is OK, the use the preamp out to another amplifier.

If it is OK, then the Power amp input jack switch MAY be bad, When nothing is plugged into these, the preamp is sent to the power amp by a switch on the power amp input jack.

If you do these tests, you can email me the results and I will give further tests to run.

I have a vestax qfo le and I'm only getting sound from one channel on the master out I have cleaned the headshell changed leads and I'm stuck. Does any one know of someone who could fix turntables in the...

Sam, I have a silver QFO and just recently I had problems with Phono/Line 1 where I lost sound but Phono/Line 2 (I use for IPod) was fine.
I took the fader out and cleaned it, checked wiring connections inside and tested and it was ok and I could use again..
Then during a skratch session, the Phono/Line 1 just lost sound again. If I turned my speakers and the QFO volume right up, I could hear very distorted sound.
I turned off by the power switch on the back of the QFO and turned on and I got a long hissing sound which died out. I still had no sound.
I turned off and back on and this time there was no hissing sound and Phono/Line 1 was ok.
Every time I get this problem now, I just turn off and back on a couple of times and the sound comes back.
I think it may be something to do with the sound control unit inside.
I know that this is not really a solution but your not alone with your problem.
I even had one of the feet fall off which I had to supa glu back together.
I have tried contacting Vestax but they wont reply.
I dont know about you but I was disappointed with the build quality of the QFO. Feels cheap and not your usual high quality Japan build.
I bet Q'Bert does not get any of these problems!!!!!!
Peace
Paul

Hissing sound

Do you mean audio hissing sound or is there smoke coming out the back?

Audio hiss with the FM tuner selected would mean it's between stations or you don't have an antenna. Try tuning around the band with an antenna.

Close what?

Connect what to what tuner? It has an internal tuner.

Hissing and poor sound quality

Well it could be interference from the TV, computer, or other 900Mhz device (some wireless routers run on this frequency).

I'm currently dealing with the same issue myself, if I find a solution I'll post back.
