Hi and thanks ,i have tried that ,and what i did find is that the bad side worked in both the outputs on the Amiga with no or very little loss of volume ,only when both were plugged in did one side go  down ,i cant say it struggles with any anything it has to do ,ive just installed extra memory and its very quick ,i wonder if theres enough power coming from the psu ,thanks again,Brian

Try another set of audio cables.  Sounds like there *might* be a short between the L and R sides.

Hi and thanks for the reply ,theres no way of balancing them on my amp ,but as the bad side is good when the other plug isnt inserted ,so i may need a little more psu power ,not sure ,Brian

I had the exact same problem with a 4000, it was down to failing capacitors. I would imagine that your 600 is due a change. Sorry

If you don't want to tackle it yourself, Amigakit offer a service for Audio repair and cap replacement.

Hi and thank you ,you may be right ,i  may have a go myself as i can solder quite well ,but there again it seems quite cheap to have it done by Amigakit,its not urgent but i would like it done thanks again,Brian.

Balance control on the speakers themselves?

This actualy is a very good way of sorting it in the short turn,so ive changed the amp for one with balance control and it is awesome ,ive loaded some  midi tunes in to octamed that other Amiga members have wrote and they sound brilliant ,what exactly do i need to imput some simple tunes ?because i sure would like to join the musical Amiga Band,lol best wishes Brian.:elvis:

The beauty of OctaMED is that you really need nothing other than the Amiga to make tunes.
If you had a parallel port sampler you could sample your own sounds, but there are lots of already sampled free sounds on Aminet and elsewhere - enough to last you a long time.

You only need the Amiga's keyboard to enter notes and sound playback is through the Paula.

If you want to get more advanced you can use a MIDI interface, controller (piano style) MIDI keyboard, and external MIDI sound modules.  But there's no real need for this.

Actually, I wish I had known the potential of Trackers back in the 1980s / 90s.  Instead (there being no online Amiga community to ask back then) I tried to figure it out all myself and I ended up spending a lot of money on the above mentioned MIDI equipment and Dr. T's KCS sequencer.  I didn't realise that trackers let one do everything right "out of the box" with just a bare Amiga.  I mean, I had seen a tracker back then, but it just looked like a jibberish sort of hex-editor to me.  Nowadays, you can find all sorts of help, scanned manuals, and tutorials online.

Not to say what I purchased for my Amiga went to waste, but I was always looking for the next bit of gear to get more sounds, etc. when I could have been writing songs the day after I brought my Amiga home if I'd understood more about trackers.
