psone screen sound issue [UNFIXABLE-CLOSED]

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

psone screen sound issue [UNFIXABLE-CLOSED]

Post by Portable Newbie »

ok so i connected all my composite cables to the screen to keep it simple. i used the cables pinout given here: http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?t=2278

all are connected. soldered. hotglued after for security. and seperated. i get video to work flawlessly. but sound will not work.

what could i have done wrong? ive checked and redone it several times, always video but no sound. any suggestions? thanks.

Other issue is that the PSone has two right audio and two left audio connectors - one set is for RGB mode and one for composite mode. Connect the two right audio wires together and the two left audio wires together. I bet you just used pins 9 and 10 and not 2 and 3!!

i mean should i maybe be ONLY using pins 2 and 3 instead of bother for each audio? since im only doing composite input??? could that be it?

EDIT: thanks phantom, u told me this exact thing in the PM. thanks! =)

attatch the R out from console to pin 2 of connector 2 and L out from console into pin 3 of connector two. make sure the grounds of your system and screen are joined and make sure pin 6 connector 2 is grounded to the screen also..
you said "white and red" make sure your attatching the signal (+) and not the ground from that jack.
i'll b on l8r 2nite. gotta leave 4 work

ok here is more detail i connected White (L) to pin 3 on connector 2
i connected Red (R) to pin 2 on connector 2.

the grounds coming off of those connectors have been connected and grounded

didnt work.

then grounded the HP switch thing. and still. no sound.

perhaps from the white connector (left audio) you attatched the ground instead of the audio line. same with red (right audio.) try flipping the wires.
i really gg.
sorry

kinda hard to do that when the + line has a seperate insulation seperating the 2....so no i didnt mess them up that way....

any other ideas from anyone else since my best help has to leave?
