Signal loss between mixer and amp

(Luther Bell) writes:

OK, here's my initial question. How much signal loss can a bad ground
cause?

All of it. I've had ground loops so bad I got nothing but 60Hz out of
it. Experiment with where the power amps and mixers are plugged in.

If you don't have hum, look beyond your grounds.

weeks. Almost everything works. My only problem is the signal loss.

I patch the CD player through to the mixer and try to run it through
the speakers. I end up getting 1/4 of the output that I should.

Based on what?

It's very quiet and muffled. I have tried troubleshooting and I
can't figure out what the main problem is. If there was a bad
ground somewhere, would/could that be the problem or is it something
else?

What mixer do you have? Have you experimented with the pregain on
that channel? What are your fader settings?
