SID VOICE SYNTHESIS - QUIET?
Posted: Fri Sep 26, 2003 12:05 am
I dont know if anyone else has/had suffered from this problem. Ive never heard anyone complain about it before, but this may (may) be of some relevence to someone.
Anyone play Ghostbusters or Turbo OutRun on their 64C and found the voice synthesis very quiet? Yet on the C64 (Brown `Un) it sounded loud and clear?
Well, many years ago I thought I`d take the sid chip out of my old C64 and put it in my newer C64C only to find the voice synthesis came out loud as hell but the music was almost inaudible . Hmmmm, so I piggy backed one chip on top of the other, and guess what? No more sound problems!
Although this worked fine with my 64c (and a friends 64c), I cant guarantee your machine will do the same. Try It At Your Own Risk.
Shamone!
