Hi,
I am using TAS5717 and I have some issue with the DRC setting. The device literature leaves a lot to be desired on this subject so I did not mess around with any other setting related to DRC, other than threshold. I had EQ tuned so the sound is great but if I set my master volume to say 24 and then drop it to 19 (this is in the GDE tool) there is a long quiet period and then the sound comes back. This problem is not there if I go from 19 to 24 say.
This seems to be observed more consistently on louder tracks like rock but less so on quiet ones like classical music.
Could you please explain what parameter is this caused by and how I can fix it in simple and practical terms, keeping in mind that the GDE tool is buggy and does not necessarily correspond to what the datasheet is explaining. The literature seems to have been written by someone who really likes maths but does not really pay attention to the tool limitations and inconsistencies in terminology.
