Talkback on my console has EXTREMELY low gain. It used to be fine, and could be heard OK despite the number of busses, auxes it was routed to.
Now, with no other audio being played, I can just barely hear when I tap directly on the mic. I have an oscilloscope (newly acquired), and can see a 1K sine wave arriving at the opamp when I inject it at the mic leads. I probed the other pins on the opampm and don't see the signal on any other pins. I think my next step is to verify that the opamp has V+ and V-. If it does, can I assume that the opamp is dead?
As you can tell I'm pretty new at this. I do have a schematic of the master section and the talkback circuitry is outlined on the PCB. All devices are clearly markled on the PCB as well, so if I can just remain logical in my approach, I should be able to find this.
