@Fitzsteve

thanks

you played with the sound yet

i first used a jack to 2 phonos for paula passthrough

then used an old cdrom audio lead on aux on the card to 2 phono plugs

 

[Justin]

exactly how did you link up the sound m8? 3.5mm jack to 2 phonos? so from the sound card to where? then the 2 phonos from the motherboard go to where?

They would go to the Sound Cards 'Line in' socket and you would you use the software mixer to adjust the levels.

3.5mm jack to 2 phonos?

motherboard out put to the blue input on the card


or

the black conectors on the sb128
your cards

with a audio cable to a phono connector socket

then use a phono to phono outside

from the above connector to motherboard phonos

 

[Justin]

i need to make a cable then?

 

[johnim]

only if you want to use the internal port

just get a phono to 3.5 jack from a pound shop

well finally another update

1st off my fast ATA wouldn't sit in place with my SD/FF so a wee bit of filing and now they sit together beautifully

next up, i hated the way i had to remove the whole outer case each time i wanted to get inside my Amiga (fnar), so some measuring and cutting later i now have a removable side panel, much better

and look, no dongles at the back, everything just plugs straight into the appropriate port (I hate dongles hanging out of the back lol)


see Mike, I do have a real Amiga!!

 

[Ed.D]

Nice one Justin, you could add a couple of those special hinges they have on aircraft eletronics bays

 

[johnim]

the fast ata mkiv was a pig to fit in mine wensday i had to totally strip mine to fit it even mobo
