missing sounds and music in game?????

pubzombie · 19 February 2009, 16:04

Hi guys,
I have just been playing Paradroid 90 via adf on my miggy1200. However halfway through a game certain sounds such as lift sounds and lasers ans explosions stopped working. I have to turn cpu cache off and adjust graphics settings to get it to load. i have turned the miggy off for five mins and reloaded however it is just as bad with the guitar missing from the title music and what sounds like a channel missing. could this be the 030 card ? can i diable the 030 whilst still rebooting to OCS? it was working fine yesterday - please dont tell me my 1200 hardware is messed up

does this happen only with a certain game ? if it happens with everything than I got some bad news for you. try to play some mod really know well and see if some channels are missing.

yes it seems to be on everything- great i have only had it a month. got it from amigakit so hope they can fix it

sounds like caps leak. send it ASAP, they should be able to fix it.

you aren't gonna believe me now....
I have had my miggy set up in the front room linked to the CRT TV using the composite jack. I just went to pack it up and when I pulled the red auido jack aout of the miggy it made a loud crackle come out of the tv speakers. I had powered off the miggy and it was not conected to the psu or anything else. I took it up the loft to box it up and thought I would give it one last try. So conected it to my other crt tv using the rgb scart lead. it now works fine - i have all sounds back?????????????????? intermitant fault? should I still send it back? shall i give them a call? could it still be a faulty capacitor ? i am still getting very random boot times - sometimes as long as 4 mins and other times so long i get sick os waiting and reboot?
Pz
or am i obsessing over nothing?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH think this maybe a psu issue. just unplugged my old a500 psu and had a crackling noise and blue sparks shoot out of the plug where the cable runs in. smell of ionised air too. I have taken 030 out and put my 22watt a1200 psu back in and i get normal boot times. hope nothing is fried. going to rewire the plug on a500 psu an cut off a good section of cable - - is it possible loss of sound channel was a -12v issue. jeeze guys this is freaking me

I have just had to cut a good 25cm off the cable. the plastic coating has degraded and is very brittle. think this may have something to do with it.
can a psu be faulty and have -12v issues while the rest runs ok? will that account for random and massive boot times of up to 5mins?

If it's really an PSU issue you should get one of these. It works on my A1200/A500 since years. Maybe Amigakit has it in stock.

I am using one of these. It seems better now its been rewired. no more sparking and no more 4min boot times. I am still getting varied boot times though. they are either 11 secons or 39 seconds is this normal. these times are from a cold boot - i.e the machine is turned off for a few mins.
cheers

You have a KS 3.1 machine? The booting time is a bit longer than for 3.0 Amigas, it takes maybe 30 seconds for a cold boot.

pubzombie · 19 February 2009, 22:03

how come i get 11 seconds sometimes?

Retro-Nerd · 19 February 2009, 22:13

Without the Blizzard 1230 IV? Sound pretty fast for a KS 3.1 Amiga, unless you use the maprom feature which speeds up the cold boot.

pubzombie · 19 February 2009, 22:26

I have the jumper fitted for maprom so i think that must be it. buts its intermittent. soemtimes fast boot sometimes slow. seems to please itself
