CXA80 should be switched to Audio 2.0 to accept audio up to 24-bit/192kHz.
For both cases because Linux builds vary according to their creators choice
of software components including drivers it is not possible to guarantee
operation and Audio drivers may need to be loaded.
‘Class drivers’ as they are called for generic support of Audio Class 1.0 or
Audio Class 2.0 devices may be available from the Linux community, we do
not supply these.

consult your manufacturer’s user manual on how to do this.
Pairing your BT100 and source establishes an authorised audio link that can
then be used again in the future without having to go through this stage again.

Ensure the AC power cord is connected securely.
Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the wall socket and is switched on.
Check fuse in the mains plug or adaptor.
There is no sound

Check that source component is properly connected.
Check that your speakers are properly connected.
Make sure the selected speaker A/B light corresponds to the speaker
terminals that the loudspeakers are connected to.
Make sure unit is not in mute mode.
There is no sound on one channel
Ensure that balance control is in the correct position.
Check speaker connections.
Check interconnects.
There is a loud buzz or hum
Check turntable or tone arm for ground and connection lead fault.
Ensure no interconnects are loose or defective.
