Hi, I'm pretty new to the empeg world and I've got a problem. I've checked through the posts and can't find anything exactly like this. Here goes...
Playing MP3s works great. Beautiful. When I switch to aux mode I get a nasty alternator whine and the input music (from any source, I've tried a few) is all garbled... sounds distorted as if amplified too much. The problem isn't in any of the wiring I did, or the devices I'm using for input. I tried a friends empeg in my car - worked perfect. So the problem lies within my empeg itself. It used to work fine, but hardly used it. When you have a thousand songs to choose from, a 12 track CD just doesn't cut it. One day I bought a new CD, went to try it out and... garbage. At first I didn't notice the alternator whine, but I paused the CD and there it was. Sounds like it might be an internal ground loop type problem. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone's heard of anything like this before?
