"The Amiga audio has a very clever feature: It ..."

You never stop learning.. :-)I never heard of this. I'll have to check that out, maybe that's why the sound on mine was so low too...

Thanks PaSha, I didn't know that about the RCA jacks.
But...when I was testing I had cables connected to the A4KT audio jacks. Then I had a set of PC speakers connected to the PIV.
I tried the microphone on the PIV line in and also on the separate board microphone in. In both cases I got no recording. The waveform is flat. Upon playback there is either no sound or the player crashes (can't close window, but rest of Amiga is okay). The microphone is good: I have used it on the PC for Skype. I checked the microphone slider in the mixer prefs and it is on 100%. But still no record. Can it be AHI settings? Which setting is best?

"Jose says you can bend the connector on the module instead.."

Er.. not the connector, the part of the backplate that stops the card from going a bit further in the Zorro slot. I bent it a bit and after pushing the PIV a bit more there is actually space to put the aerial connector. It's a very tight fit though and I've removed the aerial connctor meanwhile, using external tuner connected through SVHS. Actually it's not being used much.

Oh my bad, I misunderstood you.
Thanks for clearing that up.

Two things.  First I have found that with my 4000d it sometimes works when you want to get the PIV menu to hold down both mouse buttons and also the left shift key to get the menu.  Try it and see what happens.
Second, I was going to leave my own post about the concierto sound.  Mine is also very low.  It plays loud if I am playing a music CD but is very low when playing MP3's.  I have tried messing with the ahi settings and they don't really seem to do anything.  I have everything set to maximum volume (PIV menu, mixer, ahi, amplified speakers, and it is still very low.  It should be booming I would think.  Any help with the ahi or anything else to fix this problem would be appreciated.     Dan

I would also recommend downloading palomaFE from Aminet.

It's a GUI FrontEnd control Panel for PalomaTV and seems to eliminate some of the habits of the original software.
