Amiga / CDDA audio mixer
« on: July 09, 2020, 08:20:05 PM »
Does anyone know if /  where I can buy an Amiga / CDDA audio mixer? I've looked, but they appear not to exist any more. :(

I have one, but it appears it's broken as I only get audio from one output now.

I suppose the one I have could be fixed if necessary, but it looks fiddly and I'd rather buy new.

Yes, I had seen that kind of thing when I've been searching, but it's not really what I had in mind.

What I have is a lot simpler. Phono leads that plug into the Amiga outputs, a lead that ends in the CDDA plug to go straight into the back of an optical drive and two phono out ports, all attached to a metal plate. It was sold by Eyetech back in the day. I'm sure they actually used to manufacture them as it's effective, but simple (and ugly!).

I suspect I might have to take it out and try to fix it.

Eyetech thingy:

Yep, that's exactly the one I have. I think I'll take it out and see if I can fix it first. It'll be fun  - hot glued into my tower!

Finally removed and had a look at the Eyetech adapter. One of the potentiometers had come slightly apart, so I clicked it back together. Whether that might have had any bearing on the situation, I don't know.

The adapter has two CDDA leads built in and used to work fine connected to two optical drives. Now if I connect one drive all is well, but if I connect both then I lose the vast majority of the audio from the left channel. 

I don't suppose it's a huge problem - I'll leave one CDDA cable unplugged and  I'll just have to remember to run games / other things that need CD audio as well as Amiga audio from the optical drive that the adaptor is plugged into.
