A1200 audio trouble

jrom · 05 April 2006, 21:55

Damn... it seems this isn't my day.

My 1200 just deceided to output audio at a really shitty low volume.

Anyone here had simmilar experience and knows what to do about it?

Check the 5V line on the PSU. Seems to have caused my audio problems in the past. If you can get hold of another PSU, that's the easiest way to check it.

Check the -12v line on the PSU too.

Bugger... I tried 3 difference PSU's and I still get the same shitty sound. Could this also be a capacitor problem?

So... no-one has any idea's? I sure what this fixed ASAP...

You need to put a bit more work in to diagnose the problem properly. So, try all of the following and listen to the sound in every instance:

- Connect the A1200 to a TV via the RF socket;
- Connect the A1200 to a hi-fi via both rear audio sockets;
- Connect the A1200 to a hi-fi via the left audio socket;
- Connect the A1200 to a hi-fi via the right audio socket.

If, in any of these circumstances, you get the correct sound, we know that the problem lies with a particular connection. If you find that none of the outputs give you proper audio then there's something more fundamentally wrong with your motherboard.

ah oke thanks... i'll try it out this weekend again

Hmmm ok.. tried that somewhat sooner...

End result: all of the options produce the same shitty sound.
