    Why is my TL Audio Fatman iTube Amplifier making a crackling sound?

      If you hear a crackling sound from the speakers connected to your TL Audio Amplifier: * Check the connection if your iPod is in the docking station. Also, check the 3.5mm stereo cable connection, ensuring it's connected to the 'line out,' 'audio out,' or 'headphone out' of your source, and not 'speaker out.' * Unplug the 3.5mm stereo cable from your current audio source and plug it into the headphone jack of an alternative source, such as a CD player or MP3 player, to rule out a problem with the original audio source.

    Why doesn't my iPod volume control the TL Audio Fatman iTube Amplifier volume?

      Meredith RiceAug 18, 2025
      When using an iPod with your TL Audio Amplifier, use the amplifier's volume control since the iPod volume control only adjusts the volume for the headphone jack.
