Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Check that the power supply is properly connected and the correct input mode (Bluetooth, RCA, USB, etc.) is selected. Ensure volume levels on both the audio source and the amplifier are turned up. If using vacuum tubes, ensure they are fully seated in their sockets.
Switch the amplifier's input selector to Bluetooth mode. The indicator light typically flashes when in pairing mode. Search for 'Douk Audio' or the specific model name on your smartphone or computer and select it to pair.
For many models, connection to Windows 10/11, macOS, and Linux is plug-and-play. However, some high-resolution playback or Windows 7 systems may require a specific driver available from the Douk Audio website.
Distortion often occurs if the input signal level is too high or the volume is maximized on both the source and the amp. Try lowering the volume on your source device and increasing it on the amplifier instead.
Many Douk Audio/Nobsound amplifiers use common tube types line 6J1, 6J5, or 6K4. Refer to your user manual for the specific socket type and compatible replacements, which can be purchased from Douk Audio or third-party electronics retailers.
