Cracked Sound!!

Hello, My tweeter and mid-range distortion sound like a speaker cone that has cracked. That happens when the vocals or bass are loud. The high frequencies is dominating the amplifier. Should I change the C7 100pf to 47/22pf? by the way I don't have pre-amp I'm using TDA7439 audio processor. but I have also tried with direct audio input to amplifier, still got cracker sound. but it produce more crack sound when it goes by the audio processor because it enhance more.

Thanks.

To diagnose correctly, the problem should be clear. 'Cracked' can mean a distorted sound, continuously; it can mean that at some intervals there is a cracking sound from the speakers, or anything in between. Those are very different things with very different causes and solutions.
Can you describe the effect a bit more clearly?

hi, I am also suspected that C5 in the wrong position but it is in the circuit board. the diagram I have drawn from the board and I made some changes which indicated in Red color. it had zener diod , changed it to LTP.
by the way, I tested TDA7439 to my AVR (Yamaha V763). sound is clear but gain is too low.

Whats wrong with the VR1?
 
If offset drifts it drifts. It would still drift if you used fixed resistors instead of actually using a pot.

Besides, it’s not really an “offset adjust” pot. It actually fine tunes the differential balance which is set by the ratio of the resistors in the CCS emitter and the collector load if all the vbe’s are the same. The problem is they are not, which requires some way of trimming if you are trying to enforce differential balance without resorting to current mirrors. Strict balance is not required to get it to “work”, but it sounds better when it IS balanced. If you used a matched input pair, when the DC output is minimized the two currents should be balanced - which assumes there are no other sources of offset. A true offset adjust pot would apply a DC correction to one of the two inputs. And would be used to trim out even smaller errors than this was intended to.

hello, When I was younger, I used to visit music stores to purchase cassettes or record songs from LPs. Surprisingly, I would see the deck set and assume that only wealthy people could use that equipment.
When I was a college student in the 1990s, I took the initiative to build a HiFi! I moved away from home in 1999 to pursue a job and further my education in the capital city, and as time went on, I lost interest in electricity. Twenty years later, I decided to update the system, and this is it.
The recorder for cassettes is broken. I only keep it as a reminder of the 90s.

Thanks.
