What is the name of the Analog Low Power Bypass Amp?

Guru 15580 points


I am using the AIC3204 and am trying to initialize the Low Power Analog Bypass from IN1 to HP outs. But only one of the channels is actually passing audio. I have not initialized the "bypass amp" and suspect that it may be at max attenuation. However, I cannot find the name of this amp (attenuator) in the datasheet, nor its register. Can someone point out the register number/name for this amp?

thx

  • 6.2.125 Page 1 / Register 22: IN1L to HPL Volume Control Register

    6.2.126 Page 1 / Register 23: IN1R to HPR Volume Control Register

    However, setting these did not fix the problem. I still have only left channel audio.

  • Mike,

    The code below (hex) bypasses IN1L/R to HPL/R. Note that this is using external AVDD supply, so it should be modified accordingly if internal ALDO is used.
