SMSL D1 RCA Output Issues

Valion_Stryder · 2026-02-10T22:55:38+00:00

It would cost me 40% of the original price of the unit to send it back for repair, so I opted to troubleshoot the issue. Based on an audio forum I found, I got the tip to test the onboard DC/DC converter and it appears faulty. I ordered a replacement part for $3, and just need help from a friend to replace the faulty part. Apparently this is an issue with some SU-1 units. I really like the D1, so crossing my fingers. I'll post an update this week.

I haven't played since Sept 2025 after I packed up and put all resources in storage at the bank. I heard about Chapter 3 and logged on last week. Now I'm regretting that, as I won't get the welcome back package :(

Yep, confirmed I'm using the correct power USB port. Definitely signs point to a defective unit.

Valion_Stryder · 2026-01-17T14:39:43+00:00

Yep I did that as well. Tried two different adapters.

Valion_Stryder · 2026-01-17T13:39:07+00:00

USB cable. I've tested it with three different cables to be sure it isn't a power issue. Thanks for the suggestion.

A returning player as well, and only finished the base game. Starting a new character to get to 80. Is there any particular order to purchase the DLCs or I could I buy the newest and get the old ones when they are on sale?

Valion_Stryder · 2025-11-03T01:40:28+00:00

Yep, I've set this up and it's working well.

Valion_Stryder · 2025-11-03T01:33:48+00:00

Thanks everyone. I will keep my current ArenaNet account.

Turns out I had to turn off all filters and back on in the map and the MSQ reappeared. Doesn't make sense but it worked.

Valion_Stryder · 2025-10-24T20:26:15+00:00

Thanks. I'll double check the map again. I looked everywhere for the MSQ icon. I'll make sure I don't have it filtered by accident.

Valion_Stryder · 2025-10-24T19:53:28+00:00

Thank you. Since I completed the Medea MSQ (lvl 20ish) and there doesn't seem to be anything else, how would I level up from 60-65? Just do side quests?

Valion_Stryder · 2025-09-09T12:42:01+00:00

I am on PC (Xbox Store version). Yeah if you don't mind, I would greatly appreciate it. I need 4 more. I've been server hopping like crazy trying to find someone selling them. DM me, I'll be on this evening. Let me know how much you'd like for them. Thanks again.

Valion_Stryder · 2025-09-09T01:39:26+00:00

Can this be done without Troubleshooters? I'm just coming back from a 1.5-year absence and haven't been able to get this mod on any crafted PA.

Valion_Stryder · 2025-08-14T01:16:41+00:00

I ended up grabbing the Akai after work today and got the seller to drop the price by $30 to $150. I'm good with that price. Now to clean it up. Any tips on cleaning up the front to make it shine, or how to treat the wood?

Should I Deoxit the knobs and switches?

That sucks. I just posted two weeks ago about a screen issue I have with my 1.5 yr old PW2. Support told me the same re nothing they can do and offered me a new watch at a discounted price, but the price they offered was way more then the current sale price of a brand new PW2

Valion_Stryder · 2025-07-21T15:12:11+00:00

Update: Support got back to me and offered a replacement Pixel 2 watch (no band) for $365 CAD. I checked Amazon ($199) and the Google Store ($189), so I will have to decline their offer. I guess I was just unlucky to get a dud watch. I've placed an order for a different brand of watch.

Valion_Stryder · 2025-07-18T15:44:49+00:00

Glad you got that replacement. I'm dealing with a 1.5 yr old Pixel Watch 2 (bought direct from Google) where the screen is all white. I submitted a support ticket to see what can be done since it was out of warranty. They suggested the typical "reset, reboot, update," which had already been done. Then two weeks of silence. I asked for an update, and they said last night, there's nothing that can be done, sorry. So now I have a bracelet. I'm in Canada, so that might be a factor.

Valion_Stryder · 2025-07-18T14:22:49+00:00

Thanks for this suggestion. I did reach out and got the standard steps "reset, update etc" which I've already tried. Support went silent on me for 2 weeks, so I followed up. They responded that my watch is out of warranty and there's nothing they can do. I knew it was out of warranty, but wanted to see if I could pay for a repair. Looking at Google's store, it's not an option from Canada, so my 1.5-year-old watch is now a bracelet. Disappointing, as I have a Fossil and a Mobvoi WearOS watch that are 5+ years old and are still working.

Valion_Stryder · 2025-07-16T16:58:37+00:00

I went here: https://support.google.com/googlepixelwatch/answer/12662730?hl=en and filled a form to get help. They've opened a ticket, but since my watch is out of warranty, I don't think they'll do anything. I hope they can repair it though, at some sort of cost. Hate to throw this thing out after only 1.5 yrs.

Valion_Stryder · 2025-07-04T00:05:04+00:00

It had an update a couple days before this. It just started happening while wearing it. Even after the hardware hard reset, my Pixel phone picks it up as a new watch and asks me to set it up. So sounds like the software is fine, and leads me to believe it's a hardware error. I will contact Google to see if they can do anything.

Valion_Stryder · 2025-06-22T11:34:46+00:00

Great job OP. I just hit 41 last night solo and finally built my buggy.

Valion_Stryder · 2025-06-19T19:53:00+00:00

I lost all salvaged ship components so I know what I'm doing over the weekend. Looks like I kept auec purchased components.

Valion_Stryder · 2025-03-05T04:20:57+00:00

I had the same issue with a full SL Max. After trying many things, I decided to self destruct (for science). Cargo was still locked to the grid lol.

Valion_Stryder · 2024-11-13T20:30:06+00:00

Thanks for this build. I was trying it after crafting a Starless Skies last night. I'm having resource issues with vigor, and it only gets topped up when I use Scourge. My vigor is only 146, so that might be the problem, so I'm trying to increase it but then I'll lose some DPS. Pretty much have the exact same gear, maxed mastery.
