Hi - for a while the audio output on my Concierto board has been cutting in/out, but it seemed to correct itself if I tapped the back connector going into the audio out of the Concierto I/O board. It finally "died" in a way - it only gives audio mono output. I took out and looked at the I/O board (the part of the Concierto which carries the audio and MIDI connectors, and is connected to the main Concierto card by a cable), and it looks like a metal wire leading from the audio out connector to the I/O board broke off. My question is: are these "I/O boards" something particular to the Concierto, or are they available from somewhere?
I was thinking that maybe other Amiga clockport sound cards use similar I/O backplates and I could just buy one of those to replace?
Thanks.

If it's only one "pin" you could solder a wire from the picasso4 to the concierto directly...
BTW, I also own a concierto and its behaviour is a little strange...
I have some questions, I hope you can help me...
a) what AHI version do you use?
b) what driver version do you use? where can I download it?
c) what frequency, channels have you set up? I mean... what's your AHI configuration?
My concierto produces a BEEEEP when I boot my miggy, that seems ok and shows me that it's alive...
If I load dynamite it outputs no sound, BUT if I go to the prefs and change the AHI frequency settings it outputs sound... it doesn't matter if I save the settings, next time I have to change the frequency again to make it output sounds.
If I load AmigaAMP, SongPlayer or Amplifier it crashes :-/
Any idea? as the sources of the driver are included I guess I could recompile the driver to force it to change the frequency at the init stage but I've never compiled a driver, are they normal "exes"?

I was thinking about trying to solder a new audio port into the I/O board, but I feel I might melt any nearby circuitry.
Following are my AHI/concierto versions as far as I can tell. Honestly, I feel like I rarely use the concierto audio itself - only in terms on audio capture with the paloma... In terms of using it for audio playback, I think I rarely access it.
ahi.device 4.180
concierto.audio 4.28
AHI configured as default for Concierto:
22.05 kHz frequency
Concierto 8 bit stereo ++
Yes, the beep is normal on bootup - I think I actually get it twice or 3 times due to OS3.9. AmigaAMP works fine for me.
