No sound from speakers, help please

I’m not sure what I done, but I now have sound through my headphones but nothing from the speakers, from my Uniti Star. This is from all sources, CD, LP, radio or ripped music from my server.

I use the app on my Android phone or my Samsung Galaxy tablet, both of which were connected and being used, when I got an update notification for the tab!et, which I did, and that’s when things went wrong. As far as I can tell everything else is working normally, and I just ripped Cream, which is ok, but no sound from my speakers.

I haven’t tried a factory reset yet, in case we can sort the issue? Any suggestions will be welcome.

Thanks, Geoff.

Silly question, but have you unplugged your headphones?

Yes. I had just ripped a CD and wanted to listen to it, initially using headphones, then through the speakers, but there was no sound from the speakers. Everything else seems to be working normally.

Have switched off the star waited 5 min and started it again?

And if that doesn’t work, are there any settings to choose output e.g. speaker/lineout/headphones only?

Thanks, I have just tried that, Drago, and it worked, there is lovely music from my speakers again and I can relax and catch up.

I wasn’t looking forward to it in case it needed input, (I’m not at one with technology; we don’t always agree on terminologies) but it was trouble free. I switched it off at the mains plug and unplugged it for 8 minutes, plugged it back in, switched it on, and tentatively tried it - success.

I tried looking for that sort of setting Loki, but couldn’t find anything other than the max. volume settings and balance control.

But thanks for your suggestion. I’d like to know what caused the problem, though, just out of curiosity.

Sounds (!) like the unit and your app-device needed to reestablish their link/handshakey computational relationship thingy, that only a full reset (switch on and off) could establish!

That makes sense, Loki, as it happened coincidentally with me doing a system update on my Galaxy tab which I use for the Naim app as it has a bigger screen than my Android phone, and both had access to the Star. So, a lesson learned, one thing at a time. And perhaps my expectations that technology always works almost instantly, which isn’t always true. I did switch the amp off at the button but only for a minute, presumably not long enough?

And my rip of The Four Seasons by ASMF/Marriner sounds as good as I expected, compared well with my LP. And I saw what you did there.

Enjoy your music,

Geoff.
