Hello Developers,

sorry if this question is off topic on this list, but I don't know where else to send the question to.

I'm currently developing an audio-application on an ARM board that is equipped with an AD1981B SoundMax chip. Everything works well except the build-in equalizer. Since it is impossible to get usable technical information from Analog-Device my last hope is to find someone on this list who has some experience with the chip in question.

My problem started with the datasheet not telling the format of the fixed point numbers for biquad coefficients. It only states that they are 16 bit numbers with 16 bit resolution...

Then, when I use an estimated value for a0 that is unequal from zero and all other coefficients are zero, in theory I should hear some sound when I play a PCM file (44.1kHz / 16Bit) . But there is only silence on the output when the equalizer is not muted. Is there something else I have to set up to make the equalizer output pass through?

Looking forward for answers. ;-)

Thanks in advance! Daniel
