Hello ,
Question:
I had a 70's amplifer ( Yamaha) and altough you hear stereo , 1 vu meter is not working. You only hear it with 60's songs because the way records were taped that way .
I thought it was of because the old amplifer but now i have a " new " one ( Luxman) and it's the same . Its not the amplifer because its not when i play records and when i put the headphone in the Wiim Ultra the sound is also good .
So its either the connection or something in the Wiim . I have already tried different cables , connections and a reboot .
Any suggesties?

Welcome.

Double (triple!?) check the connections are all right? i.e. both wiim line outs and to same amp input?
Have you possibly accidentially moved the balance slider in the wiim app? Maybe not, if headphones are working as expected.
Does the luxman have digital in? Does that wotk?

Hi

You have confirmed that sound is coming from both speakers, correct?

Are the Amp and Ultra connected via RCA cables? If so, what happens if you swap the left and right RCA plugs connected to the Amp?

This, but switch off the amp first before you unplug/plug. Saves you some nasty noise from your speakers.

Thanks for your respons.
What do you mean by double , tripple ?
Cables are correct. EQ is correct. Luxman has no digital in .
I have Deezer by the app on my phone . Then wifi in and line out . Strange that the option ( in ) amplifer is not working .

Have you perhaps connected one of the RCA -out cables to the digital COAX-out of the WiiM?

 

[Aquaman]

Make sure that your audio settings are correct.

That is possible, but if there were to be a mistake, it would be closer to Sub Out or RCA In.

Don‘t laugh, my friend. I‘ve seen things …

 

[Aquaman]

Just to make sure, these are the ones you need.

Here are 2 pictures . Did i connect something wrong?

YES, you connected one of the plugs to the IN. Look at my last picture. You need to use the two bottom ones.

 

[Aquaman]

@Wiimer
there you go .

 

[Aquaman]

@Max1968!
And please make sure to connect red to red and white to white ( WiiM —> Amp).

 

[Mr Ee]

As I suspected, needed to double / triple check the connections
both wiim line outs...

 

[Mr Ee]

@Max1968! Hope that gets you going, and you can get down to the serious business of listening to your favourite music.
Enjoy.

 

[Wiimer]

The excellent advice from @Mr Ee and @Aquaman

Thanks Aquaman , but still not good .
Now there are 2 vu meters working ( instead of 1 ) .( I think i tried this also before .) but now the voices are 1 in front and the second voice is in an echo in the background . Again new cable but the same . If i put 1 plug out of the amplifer the sound is good but its not correct of course . The balance is good in the app and its on stereo.

Am i now in trouble .

There is a possibility that the left and right plugs have been swapped somewhere. Please also check the speaker cables. (Connect them to sockets of the same colour as the plugs.)
