CD32's sound cracking up
« on: April 15, 2003, 11:36:48 AM »
From time to time my dear CD32 cant play sounds very well. The sound seems garbled (?) and distorted. This happens to both samples an CD-music, ie an ordinary music CD through the earphones gets scrambled. It's very odd. Sometimes its okay.
Could this be due to those capacitors beeing wrongly put?

No, I dont think so, since the sound coming out from the line is also scrambled. And it seems to be computerized scrambled, ie not that ordinary analog distortion, but a cracked up technoid disturbing sound.

(Kinnda like Cher, but in a non-good way ;-) )

So, maybe these capacitors that apparently are wrongly soldered (Iv'e read this in a lot of different places) cause this same -12V problem.
So, I'll guess I got some soldering to do.  :-D
