Hello,
I just bought a CS3 and are in the process of updating to digital, and I can't get the CS3 to play event sounds (or any sound) from the external speaker.
This are the steps I have followed.
1) Selected Internal and External Speaker in the Set Up Menu.
2) Created a manual sound event.
3) Connected a stereo amplified speaker.
When I select the playback location the CS3 only shows the option to play it on the device (in german) and has no other option to select external speaker.
Also, I change the volume setting from 10 to 100 and the internal speaker sounds exactly the same.
Any advice on what I'm doing wrong?
Thank You
P

Does it work with headphones? If so, the connection from the mini jack to the audio source is incorrect or has no pre amp. If not then you have a setting wrong. What internal source are you using on your CS3? Locomotives have speakers. If you've downloaded sound files, they may not be correct also. I haven't tried to.

It does not work with headphones... The sounds are the preloaded sounds of the CS3, I finally got them to play on the internal CS3 speaker but I can't select to play them on the external speaker... weird..

Hi plujan The CS3 user's manual about the stereo loudpeaker plug to connect an extern active louspeaker It means there must be an external amplifier to drive the loudspeaker. Alternately, hearphones can be used The volume can be adjusted in the folder CS3/Parameters See lower-center part of screen in red frame  Cheers Jean |

I connected an external amplified speaker to my CS3 and it worked. Not sure if you are following the procedure but you need to create an event with a sound from the internal sound group. I was able to make all the internal sounds play through the external speaker Did not try to make my own sound nor load a new sound. Are you using a stereo mini mike to connect to the CS3? To summarize: the CS3 external sound output looks like a female RCA plug but is a female mini stereo microphone plug. I think, though am not certain, that plugging the proper plug into it shuts off the internal speaker. If that is so the fact that you are hearing the internal speaker with something plugged into the output suggests to me that you have the wrong plug. But I would need to confirm that. I am fairly certain that to play any sound you need to create an event with the sound in it or at least access the sound file through the event feature. I think, if i remember correctly, that once I created an even I could then cause the sound file to play simply by clicking on it. There was no need to run the event.
