Amiga 1200 audio problem

[mbrantley]

My Amiga 1200 (been with me since new in 1993) has suddenly developed an audio problem. The sound is low and distorted from both channels. It's the same with two different Bigfoot power supplies, with different sets of powered speakers and with the speaker inside a 1080 monitor.

Any idea what has happened? i have looked closely at the motherboard, but I can't discern a problem by visual inspection.

I fear I'll be needed a new motherboard (hello, Amigakit!). I just want to make sure I'm not missing something obvious before I go that route.

Thanks for any and all advice.

Have you tried running a program that turns off the filter and plays back sound through the Paula chip?  It may just be a bad resistor (or capacitor) in the filter circuit.

A very good suggestion -- and one I had not thought of. Unfortunately, it didn't have a good result. The audio is still very low and distorted with or without the filter. I used a little program from Aminet called LED to toggle the audio filter.

Thanks for your help.
