Has anybody experienced this?
At risk of asking the obvious, is you speaker wired across P1-1/P1-14 and
not the headset pins?
I the configuration:
Is speaker ticked in IN/OUT CFG1/2?
Is SPKR VOL SRC set to Primary?
'Is SPKR VOL SRC set to Primary?' Bingo! You, Sir, win the toaster oven. That parameter was set to "Both" and the moment I set it to "PRI" it practically blew me out of the cockpit. Now have the volume set at 25% which is about as loud as the Dittel was. Intuitively it seems like Both should have worked the same but practically, it doesn't.
