    I wanted to post this because recently I found out that with the set 5 boxes you can get audio when using VGA.

    While in VGA mode if you connect a cable that is a red/white RCA cable to the av ports on the dev box and the other end to an aux port you will get sound.

    Here is a pic of mine hooked up:

    If this is an already known fact then ignore this post. I just thought I should post this just in case some people where not aware they could have audio when using VGA mode.

    Also there is a small sound test that can be heard at the end of the self check mode on the set 5 dev box.

    I wasn't aware and might get a Katana devkit one day, so thank you in advance! :)

    Edit: Make that sometime very soon! ;)

    As far as I'm aware, isn't that the only way to get audio out of it? I mean for game audio, not MIDI music production.

    Yes I think it's the only way. But I just figured this out recently and thought I would share it.

    This is quite straight forward with a Set 5, however it's very cool to see you managed to get your hands on such a kit :)

    Thanks :) I have owned it for about 3 years now. I also have the GD Writer to go with it. But I still cant believe it took me this long to figure out I could use the av audio ports to get sound from VGA mode. I kinda feel dumb not thinking of it before lol

    Here are some pics of the GD Writer (the person who sold me my set 5 gave it to me for free btw :) ).
