Denon Receiver AVR 1909 seems to loose "volume/power/wattage" when using headphones ?!?

[Skybuck Flying]

Hello,

The Denon AVR 1909 seems to loose "volume/power/wattage" when my headphone
is plugged in...

The "hole" where the plug goes is a big one... so I need to use an extension
plug... which goes from the little PC headphone like plug to a bigger
plug...

It am not sure if that is the cause of it... it seems like it...

But it could also be the denon having issue's with headphones ?!?

Kinda weird... (Is this a known problem with it ?)

I guess I could plug my headphone into the back of the soundcard... but then
I have to go all the way back there...

I think that might be possible... though I am not sure... I'll probably have
to pull another plug from the surround sound set... oh well.
(I rather not mess with my soundblaster )

Bye,
Skybuck.

I think it's definetly an issue with the receiver itself...

I plugged everything in real tight...

It's very noticeable... the drop in volume all of a sudden when playing
music/headphones...

When I switch between winamp and other applications all playing music the
effect is noticeable...

I think it's probably some kind of Denon AVR Receiver feature... which
prevents "sudden bursts" from reaching the boxes/headphones ?!?

But in this case it seems to get confused and do something weird when
headphones are plugged in ?!?

Hmmm...

Bye,
Skybuck.

(Gonna add some audio newsgroups... maybe they are familiar with this little
problem and might now a fix/setting or so ? )
(I don't use my headphones that often but it s kinda annoying when I want to
use them and the audio volume falls off ?!?)

(Also I wonder if frequent switching between headphones and boxes might kill
the receiver... it seemed to do that for the gigaworks... but that was a
piece of crap anyway ? "The flies (insects) zooming in "Left for Head"
killed it strangely enough " (Don't tell anybody I wrote that ! )

Stop using dinky little cheapass computer or walkman type headphones with a
high end stereo receiver. "Get a pair" for normal audio use that covers the
ears .

The headphone is a sennheiser, which is top quality... it gives beautifull
sound normally... sometimes even better than my 7.1 surround sound boxes !
(Except for the basses )

So it's definetly not the headphone, and probably not the plug-extension,
but definetly the denon receiver... <- wacky.

Complete proof that YOU should NEVER touch ANY of the devices your
retarded parents EVER bought you.

You know NOTHING about electronics, and your guesses are even as far
off the mark as it gets.

ALL amplifiers ONLY feed a small amount of power to a headphone jack,
you stupid jackass.

That is so retarded twits like you do not blow yours or someone else's
ears out by way of your complete and utter stupidity about the entire
world, and then try to hold the maker responsible for your total
retardation.

If you'd just twit filter the kid, you would not have to bother with
his insanity, and we'd not have to bother with yours...

his insanity, and we'd not have to bother with yours...

If you'd just **** off and die trying to tell other what to do with
their filters, you might gain an inkling of credence in a Usenet group.
As it stands, you are a pathetic example of yet another dumbfuck that
doesn't know the first thing about Usenet, much less how a free speech
nation embraces it.

So, **** off, asswipe. **** off and die, if you think you get to go
'round as if you are some kind of authority, and the retarded twit
Thompson that also answered your pathetic horseshit can **** off and die
as well. He epitomizes the term "obnoxious" yet labels folks here with
it constantly. You can both kiss my ass.

I don't understand how you can make a comparison between the sound
coming out of your speakers and the sound coming out of your
headphones. Is there anything preventing you from simply turning the
volume knob up once you've plugged in the headphones?

The output from the soundblaster is consistent.

The only thing that is switched is between speakers and headphones.

It's up to the receiver to switch between power requirements etc...

I can understand that it might be difficult for the receiver to know how
much power my speakers have because they did not come with it.

Apperently this wasn't a problem for the gigaworks subwoofer/electronics
which came with the speakers...

Apperently creative labs/and so forth designed the whole set in such a way
that it was easy to switch between speakers and headphones and comparitively
have the same
volume output. (Though the headphone did not came with it... but maybe all
headphones use equal ammount of powers or near equal ?!)

The denon receiver does not have this adventage and apperently gets confused
?

I don't ever touch the volume knob of the receiver... all I do is change the
power levels of the soundblaster via windows/x-fi software controls.

Somehow the denon receiver fucksup and the sound on the headphone is bad,
now and then, or after a while... turning up the output level of the
soundblaster unexpectedly
or suddenly somehow fixes it temporarely... and then later on the receiver
gets confused again ?!? and the receiver lowers the output of the headphones
again... resulting in crappy sound. I could be that this is a "protective"
feature of the receiver... maybe it's scared of blowing up my headphones and
lowers the volume just in case ?!?

Hmmm...

Maybe it's the cable to the headphone... near the headphone itself... it has
a cable plugged into it.. when I wiggle it the sound is clear/better...

So it might be a cabling issue after all... or maybe even magnetic
interference ?! from gsm/wifi networks or so ?!?

Bye,
Skybuck.
