Audio Problems
CAUTION: Do not trouble shoot audio problems using headphones.
Additionally, always be aware of the volume levels on the Forte SE and
on the connected audio system or mixer.
NOTE: When diagnosing audio problems, set the Forte SE to play its Demo Song rather
then intermittently pressing keys. This will prevent any unexpectedly loud volume changes.
If there is no sound from your Forte SE, check if one of the following might be the issue:
The volume slider is turned down.
Slowly push the volume slider up.
The volume control on the audio
system or mixer is turned down.
Slowly turn the volume control up.
The signal source selection on the
audio system or mixer is incorrect.
Set the volume of the audio or mixer to the
lowest level, select the correct signal source,
and then slowly turn up the volume.
