I asked SMSL support - they told that stock v1.4 same as VER0A4_EN. I tested both versions and did not find problem. Most users use one input and may not have noticed that problem.
I posted that firmware... One of forum members found bug in that FW. If change inputs with remote control - no start click in speakers. There is a click sound in speakers when you change from menu.
Can some one check on stock v1.4 version - EQ enable (SDB) and try change input from arc to usb, wait a little and to arc again. Will you hear a click? or not? Thanks
Right.
Only if you change input with enabled EQ. The tone block turns on. You can change EQ to direct mode.
There are no clicks and pops during daily use with one input.
SMSL can fix this with delay MUTE turn-on time by approximately 1-2 seconds.
Tested amp version with 1.4 in menu and 1.0 updated to latest firmware - no differences. Clicks and delays were on first factory firmware. On latest - no problems.
Maybe your TV automatically change source in audio settings? Cant test that case but with PC USB and TV ARC all works correctly...
First - turn off TV and AMP, use cable included in package, turn on AMP, turn on TV.
If the problem persists, update AMP with latest firmware from my post.
