Low and cracking sound on A1200

Information:
- Amiga 1200 Rev 1D.4
- The PSU voltages are measured and fine
- No leaking SMD capacitors found
- The crack/quietness occurs in both channels at the same time, so I guess it's an SMD in the amp that's broken
- When it occurs, the sound is very "filtered". The higher frequencies are cutted.. Exactly as when the Amiga LED filter is on.
- I've tried resolder 'em, still no go.
- It comes and goes, sometimes the sound is fine...


What should I do? And what's the voltage/µF of these small SMDs?

The capacitors don't actually have to leak in order to degrade. A lot of electrolytic caps are rated 1000, 2000 or 3000 hours so it is possible they are tired. I would start by changing the left and right channel caps and see if that makes a difference.

I bet my a** that the problem are the two 22uF x 25V capacitors on audio out.

For a complete list of all capacitors, there is a new thread even showing a picture of all of them with the necessary values created today.

But thanks, those will be the first two I change out

Another person in another thread had exactly the same issues, after the caps, replace the op amp if still no joy.
