Ugh. Am I stuck with mono?

Post by Kurt_ »

Long story short, I've been messing around with te audio IC because the sound was kinda screwey. I found and fixed the problem, but right after that the pin on the 8 pin audio IC (on the mini) broke completely off.

I have a spare audio IC, but is stereo worth it? And since it's only the right audio, I was hoping I could save myself some pins. Anyone want to make a pinout of it for me?

Nevermind. 2 things happened:

1) Tim told me I could scrape off the top of the IC to get to the pin INSIDE the chip. I did this to get back to the first problem I was having: Very quiet right audio.

Since I am using an external audio amplifier, I assumed this was the problem.

2) The Right audio pin was hooked up directly to the Pin 12 on the A/V out (Yes, I kept it! Makes it a bit bulkier, but this SNESp functions as a complete system!). This apparently bypassed a SNES on-board amplifier.

So now, after a few minutes of fiddling, I have full 100% awesome stereo sound again! Woot!
