Small audio mod?
Re: Small audio mod?
I suggest you desolder the cap to see where the tracks go then you can see if there is anywhere to solder to..

Just because a lot of people agree on something, doesn't make it a fact. ~exxos ~
People should find solutions to problems, not find problems with solutions.

Re: Small audio mod?
I think this info will suffice for you? Pink/Purple is the audio out on the monitor port and thus + on the audio jack. Ground can be taken from whatever but I pointed out one next to the audio out for you.
EDIT: I watched your photos again and you seem to have less ground vias then my board so I added some more blue dots on the pics below to indicate where to pick that up.
Re: Small audio mod?
Thanks! I think I'm going to go with Pin one on the monitor
socket - it looks easiest to do. Late last night I had found
a post from the early 2000's where a guy described Pin 1
close enough that even I could find it. Your post confirms
it.
As far as the ground goes, I had already run a line (with
an eyelet) to the P/S mounting leg, attaching it via the
screw that holds the P/S frame to the motherboard.
That should be okay, right?
Thanks again!
PS Really nice job on the pictures.

Re: Small audio mod?
Finally, with lots of help, I've got this installed. Even though it's mono,
it's a huge improvement over the monitor speaker. I've got a pair of
cheap Altec-Lansing speakers set up with it and it still sounds soooo
much better.
Thanks to everyone who pitched in, appreciated!

Re: Small audio mod?
nicely done. Good solderless trick for the wire to ground.
Re: Small audio mod?
Thanks! I'm really pleased with the results. Even the cheap speakers
I hung off of it sound great with some classic MODs cranked up.
I've been cranking:
Axel-F
Stardust
Xenophobe
Quantum
Cortouchka
Guitarious
Thrash
Crazy Train
Etc, etc,...
Thanks again to everyone involved and all the help, appreciated!
