Horizon EX Audio Warning Volume

[danrv7a]

I have my Horizon EXs audio warning pins wired to my Garmin 340 Audio Panel. I have the EX set at high volume but the warning is barely audible. Have you run into this issue and if so what is the fix?

I don't recall having that issue with a GMA340, but every once in a while someone reports an issue with quiet audio on an intercom unit. I see we had at least one customer mention getting EX alerts through a GMA340 but they didn't say what pins they used or if they had to do anything special, only that they tested the wiring with music first and then connected the EX. With some searching I found complaints about the GMA340 audio inputs being too quiet even when used with other modern Garmin devices. Some GMA340s have an amplifier option for the Music inputs but I don't see anything for the other inputs.

Thanks Jeff. Is there any other way to get the audio to my headphones?

Our audio output has to go to an aux input on a radio, intercom, or audio panel and it's expected that the radio/intercom/audio panel will take care of everything else. We don't make audio amplifiers or any other audio equipment that would help with this. I have thought about making a noise filter for a few cases with noise issues and maybe we could add an amplifier to that but we are not currently working on anything.
