Amiga 1200 sound issue

Flatearther · 25 February 2023, 21:10

Has anyone ever seen this?
When I plug the sound RCA cable connectors into the amiga I get no sound at all.
If I pull the connectors out until they are barely contacting the female inputs (they will slip off when I tilt the amiga or move it in any way) I hear the sound output fine.
Makes it a bit fiddly to play games with the amiga on my lap.

The A1200 has switches inside the RCA sockets that switch to mono unless both sides are plugged in. Perhaps there is a short somewhere in this circuit. What happens if you only plug in one side or the other (with either channel)?

Exactly which RCA plugs and cable are you using?

I have several RCA cables and I tried all of them with the same result so I figure it's not the cables.
If I plug one jack in fully and the other partially I get mono, if I have both jacks partially inserted I get stereo.
