My power amplifier follows this circuit:
I have found something interesting.
It seems that if the capacitor C2 is high, the volume is TOO LOUD, but the base of the music comes in more clearly. If the capacitor C2 is omitted the volume is OK, but the sound is at best distorted.
Why do I know it is too loud, because my computer measured it for me.
My audio output is connected to the microphone input of my computer running Windows 95. When I record sound, all the LED bars light up when C2 is high. when C2 is omitted, all the lights but the top 2 light up. This also applies even if the microphone volume is ridiculously low.
So, now I think that I need a circuit that can cut the volume down, but can still produce the same (or better quality) output.
I want to see the LED bars follow the music.
the LED bars I talk about are the LED bars you see in windows sound volume control applet, not the actual hardware LED's.
