weak sound from snes mini

Post by Turbo Tax 1.0 »

i am trying to get some sound out of this snes mini. i have tried

-getting it from the IC
-getting it from the original pinouts and jumping the 7805 pins on the snes
-i have also tried jumping the fuse
- and i have tried powering off two different 7805s and many different power inputs and sound inputs fore the screen along with hooking the snes up to my tv to test it

and all i am getting out of this snes is very faint sound signals. any ideas on what i should do? is there any kinda circuit i can build that will REALLY pump up the signal like an amp before the psone screen amp? any ideas are appreciated

thanks in advance

Some kind of transistor and some resistors should do it but I don't know which transistor or resistors :? I'll google it but I don't know why the snes isn't giving you great sound mine does. Heres a circuit that will work and if you want all the circuits I found go here

great i think i will try the diagram you gave me, hopefully it will give a large boost to the signal. any other ideas are still welcome though

something must be off or lose or some bad connection somewhere, because my mini SNES(with PS1 screen) gets very loud. I have the volume around 1/4 of max and its pleantly loud, max vol is brutal to the ears.

I guess the amplfiers will be the only way to get it louder, this is really odd though.
SNESp - 100%
Protable X - 15% - I need money :(

well, this isnt really my snes mini its CTfans so i have no idea what happened to it prior if anything happened at all, i have the parts for the circuit so i think i will try that soon
i have a question though which pin on the transistow goes to ground is it the pin all the way on the left when i am looking at it right side up
