Intercom Issue- no feedback

[smccray]

There's been a change in the way my intercom/audio panel operates.  When I talk into the mic without transmitting, I can't hear myself talking.  When I transmit on the radio I can hear myself, and I haven't had any complaints from ATC about my radio.  Any ideas?

I have a Garmin 340 audio panel and thinking about it I only transmitted on com 1.  I was able to receive on com 2 but I didn't think to test com 2.  I haven't had anyone in the plane with me since I noticed the change, but I'm flying with an instructor tomorrow night so we'll see what happens.

Turn the small diameter knob on the left side clockwise.

Volume- really- that's it?  On one hand I really hope you're right... on the other I'd almost rather have to spend $ than have missed this simple issue...

I have a bad feeling I'm going to have to find a way to delete this thread after my flight tomorrow night.

Please, if you do have extra Mooney money laying around, I sure could use it on my Mooney.

It's ok, really, if this is all it is.  You are surely not alone.  Let's start a thread of these types of boo boo's.  Now that would be fun.

I don't know if that's it or not, but it sure sounds suspicious since everything else seemed to be working normally.  I guess it could also be that the pilot's side intercom squelch got set too high and you weren't breaking it.  Hopefully it's this simple, I am sure you will get the opportunity to spend $ on the airplane soon enough!

"I've heard that IQ drops 20+ points when you enter the cockpit."

Mine drops more than that when I put on, what we call the "cone of stupidity" [iFR hood] for training.

Well done Steve- you nailed it. Turned up the volume and my problem was solved. Now let's let this thread disappear . 

I also exhibited the cone of stupidity on my flight tonight Mitch.  17 hrs total of actual or simulated instrument time. Need to get the rating finished before it hits 100 degrees in the shade here in TX.

Now, spend that dough elsewhere on that gorgeous Mooney!
