Dead Voice Update
2008-11-13 by George
Hi Guys- Here's a quick update to the voice problem on my EII. I emailed Rob from the Emu-Archive in order to get a qualified second oppinion. He kindly suggested to do some more troubleshooting before I blindly start to unsolder components from the board, which makes a lot of sense to me. He gave me the advice to build an 'audio test probe' out of test leads and an audio jack to hook up to an amp in order to pinpoint where the audio goes bad in the signal chain. I purchased the miniature test leads at Fry's Electronics for $3.99 and the mono 3.5mm jack was $0.99, which I soldered to one end of the test lead cable which will plug into the audio input jack of my little ipod amp. I was going to check for audio on the pins that Rob suggested, but I'm not sure how the pins are numbered. Here's what Rob wrote: On channel 7 I would look for audio signal at: IC46 Pin 2 IC46 Pin 6 IC88 Pin 2 IC78 Pin 12 IC78 Pin 7 Does anyone know by any chance how the IC pins are numbered? Thanks.
