Re: Toccata and noise...

I have the exact same problem with this Toccata I got from Ebay. Left channel is extremely low (when I pan AmigaAmp3 to leftmost side, I can almost hear the music) and there is a very loud noise on the left channel that gets worse when cpu is doing anything.

I don't know where to look for a problem. A4000T mainboard or the Toccata itself? It can't be the power supply since it was doing the same with the previous AT PSU. Now I got myself a Seasonic psu that's especially good on the +5v while under load.

I!m guessing that it has to be something on the Toccata but I don't know what to check. Even than only a friend can do the repairs on the card (provided he had time for me :P )

The cables are working. I also tried different jack converters (both mono and stereo) but it did not change this noise on the left channel.

Can anyone tell me what to look for on the Toccata? There doesn't seem to be any damage. The only thing that was odd is that the large square chip was not symmetrical. I pushed it a little bit and now it's symmetrical.

Maybe you bought through eBay the exact same card as the one talked about in this thread!

I'm guessing the original poster was from Spain (Lancia car logo in avatar).  Did your card come get shipped from Spain?


I got the card from Vicenza, Italy and payed a fortune! :) I'm glad I got it though. It is extremely hard to find one of these. I am sure I will fix this problem.
