New user of two HDX displays, a 10” and a 7”, in my -7A. Very happy user, then audio callouts disappeared?!?
Flew new system for a few flights, over a few weeks. I’d get audio announcements for “Autopilot” (at engage), and “Autopilot disengage” when I disengaged A/P, and other HDX audio callouts. Cool, working great.
Then after 25 hours or so, those audio callouts stopped! Why? I went into setup on the 10” and checked, and the Audio callouts all came out thru my headset. Hmmmm?
Anyway called Dynon support, got a voicemail back. Hint, which screen is “Master”?
Turns out only my 10” is wired to Audio Panel. Recently I had started booting the 7” first, on it’s backup battery, for checklists, prior to powering the Avionics Bus. Well, that boot first turned the 7”, without audio connections, into the “Master”, and it didn’t have a wire to the Audio Panel.
Moral of the story, boot the 10” first, or simo with the 7”, if Audio out is desired.
Lesson learned, tiny details to learn....
