    Hey I'm looking for some help with my sega saturn. I purchased it off ebay a while back " as is"

    I get video out but no audio. I've tried several games on my Rhea and i've tried audio CD's with the cd drive hooked up.

    I have an RGB cable from retroconsoleaccesories and I've metered the audio connections to be OK.

    I've metered between the end of the cable and the corsponding connections at the av jack on the board and can confirm the connector is OK.

    The board looks OK to the naked eye. I havnt been able to find any schematics to be able to trace out the audio feed.

    Does anyone have any experience with this issue or the saturn in gerneral? google isn't showing much.


    Thanks in advance!

    also, before you do that you could try measuring the audio pins with VAC and see what shows up on your multimeter.
    There are schematics for saturn on Sega-16 tech forums and Gamesx.com has them. They are a pain to read though.

    I also have a dead Saturn board (bad SRAM I think) that may have a working audio stage you could use for parts.
