You have to make a seperate connection from the Amiga to the TV, with two RCA
jacks (left and right). You could also route the sound from the Amiga's RCA
jacks, into the cable and in through the 34 pin RGB jack, but the wiring would
be pretty hairy, and the sound would glitch the clarity of the picture (or so
I'm told). I've got 3 RCA jacks connecting Amiga to my XBR: composite video,
left and right audio, all connecting to Video 1 on the XBR. Thus I can see
what composite video looks like, if I want to. When I switch to RGB, I get TV
sound. Then I switch to Video 1 and get Amiga sound. I can listen to Dave
Letterman while I work on my Amiga, as long as the Amiga sound isn't important!
Even if it is, I can route it through my roommate's stereo…
