Do you have a B or a C1 board? C1 needs a resistor fitted and then the audio is sent through with the YM2149 audio. The B needs the mixer board fitted.

It is indeed. Check out the fix for the audio bias though which is the resistor I mentioned.

If you're talking about rev C1 , like philc says, it just needs a small resistor fix. This is because I redesigned the audio amp to mix the audio properly. The previous board was fixed using a separate addon board. Its part of the ongoing development. I would suggest reading the past progress and fixes for previous boards to understand how development and fixes have been done.

100K resistor.

Here is the thread about it and this is how I did it.

i just looked mate, that is very small area to solder. how much did you have to scratch and with what :) il need to dig out my mag glasses :) im guessing i solder onto the via first then scratch away at the other end, then solder last bit.

It's huge! You don't even need a microscope. :D

I don't know what they are called in English and I don't know where I got them from. But I took a photo of a couple of them. But you could scratch a bit with a scalpel. You just remove the thin layer of solder mask to expose the ground plane underneath. Just a small bit to get solder in.

Or use a normal through hole resistor like exxos did.
