Zorro sound card wanted.
« on: June 15, 2011, 11:55:20 PM »
Just wondering if any of my pals here have a sound card they would part with for cheap, as the buzzing produced when trying to make tunes on OctaMED is becoming unworkable.

Thanks in advance folks!

I think the Toccatta & Maestro Pro were the only cards supported by Octamed if that's what your wanting it for.....


Yes, that's what it's for.

But doesn't the Prelude also work?  I always thought all sound cards worked with OctaMED...

Buzzing sound? What do you mean by that? Your amiga's sound output shouldnt have buzz..


Yea it needs its caps replaced.  It's been like this since about 2002.  Just gonna get a sound card instead, as money's too tight to mention.

Hmm that sux you should fix the board instead of a sound card imho the Paula sound and Octamed is PHAT!


Yes I agree 100%, but how much would it cost to get the caps fixed? And where in the UK would I send it?

DO NOT attempt to do it yourself if you dont know how to solder. Chances are you will fsck it up and wreck traces :)

btw what machine is it?


It's an A4000.  I can solder, but IIRC I looked at the board a few years back and wasn't confident about doing it then.

Now that I think about it, the keyboard DIN connector could do with being replaced, and I'd much prefer to have 1/4 inch jacks than RCA connectors for the audio out...

Maybe I'll try and do the last one myself...
