Amiga 600 Sound, 500 Joysticks
I have bought two Amiga's for a school retro computing event.
The Amiga 600 has very low sound - I have tried through the modulator and via an RGB/Scart cable. Does anyone have any pointers I can check to adjust the sound. The sound seems perfect and crackle free just very, very low. I then have an Amiga 500 with perfect sound and visuals but neither of the joystick ports work .... Any ideas or pointers on this please? Thanks in advance. |

The caps in the audio area are probably bad.

..and quite possibly a bad CIA chip in the A500. Easy fix, they should be socketed.

Re: Amiga 600 Sound, 500 Joysticks
For the CIA chip, you could try swapping the two the A500 has to see if the behavior changes, and http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=ami....c0.m270.l1313
Capacitors for the A600 can be found all over the place, but you'll have to feel like desoldering and resoldering surface mount components.
