I saw the defaults and this is why I am asking if the software will prevent any output if no programming has been done. But the i/o pins would be different in case of single ended is the default.
I need to look for a remote and teach it first, I wasn't planning using one and this is why I am asking.
But looks like there is no way around. Thanks!
Maybe there could be two different versions of ST chips, pre-set for SE or Balanced...

Yes, I know. This was more like a suggestion for the future, as people know what they are building before they order the kit.
@meldano Learned a remote and LED is blinking 4 times for storing the codes.
Verified remote is working, pressing mute on the remote turns on the LED.
Set software to balanced mode via
1. Press key “0” three times (LED blinks 3 times)
2. Press key “8” (for selection bal/unbal mode)
3. Press key “0”
4. Press key “0”
5. Press key “1”
LED confirms saving by blinking 4 times.
Jumpers are set on the volume boards for left/right bal channels.
Boards are receiving power.
Input is 1kHz 1V, balanced.
But nothing on the output.

Attachments
a) check all connections from controller pins via R5,6,7 (Muses Boards)
b) check the solder quality around the muses chips
c) rotate the encoder multiple times clockwise

Hi Daniel, thanks for your ideas!
a) I don't have R5 and R6 on the controller board populated as I am not using the mainboard, right.
The R5/6/7 (X1 pins 8, 9, 10) on the Muses boards for DATA, CLOCK, LATCH... what should I look for?
b) all perfect, done under microscope
c) rotated multiple times (as step is 0.25dB). I also used the IR remote to increase the volume. Checking output on the oscilloscope, input is there but no output, from both boards.

Pins 8, 9, 10 on X1 are ok and connected. Muses legs are soldered fine as well. Manually soldered under microscope, all shiny, no cross joints.
No, because the jumpers are soldered already.
Isn't that in balanced at least one of the boards should be working?
Also, I did set parameter 8 to 1 and this got confirmed by the LED flashing.

Is it necessary to change it to single ended and check it that way?
If this is the way to go, I will unconfigure and change to SE.

I really want to try and build another balanced set of these but two Microcontrollers failed on me too a while ago. It's expensive to try again. I see lots of people having trouble. Is there any way of sending the ucontroller in better fashion Daniel? They leave you fine but fail once soldered to board even with static precautions.
Can you not provide soldered controllers to PCB's and test them onboard?

I didn’t see „lots of people“ having trouble with defective controllers.
Some users have trouble with soldering, the other with muses chip handling.
Most people don't have any problem at all.
The recent issues cannot be attributed to a faulty controller.
It is a little nit tricky to handle the muses chips 🙁
But I can ship the controller in an esd package wich icrease the shipping price a little bit.
