    Why is there no audio output from my Sony AWS-750 Recording Equipment headphones or speakers, even though the audio level meter moves?

      If the audio level meter is active but you're not hearing anything, the monitor output level might be too low. Try raising the level using the [Monitor Level] adjustment.

      First, ensure that the connected device is powered on and that all cables are properly connected. Also, check if the audio input signals are correctly assigned and that the [CH On] button is enabled. Finally, make sure the channel fader and the PGM OUT fader are not lowered; raise them if necessary.

      The target for monitoring may be incorrect. Tap [PGM] (or [MIX]) at the bottom of the audio level meter to switch to the audio you want to monitor. Also, the output settings may be incorrect. Select the [PGM OUT] and [MIX OUT] checkboxes in [System Setup] > [Audio Setup] > [Input Channel Assign].
