Funny audio output in kx3

Pentti A J Pajunen
Hi'ya all!

Have any of You bumped with a phenomenon of KX3's audio output when
using headphones or xternal speaker with amplifier (TBA 820), sounding
like ghost-like space sound. This phenomenon doesn't xist when my rigs
own internal speaker is in use. The funny sound gives me an expression
of leak of sampling glitches from the processor. Is there some kind of
possibility of bad or broken grounding inside the rig. Unsuitable input
impedance of the external spkr amp, or bad headphones?
My K3 once sounded alike, but was healed by upgrading the software.

Any ideas for fixing?

Penna,

Is there any chance that you have AFX turned on?  If the delay is set
too high, the sound in the headphones (or external stereo amplifier)
will have a "ghost-like" quality to it.  Since the internal speaker is
only one channel, that effect will not be heard (AFX requires stereo
output).
