I installed my AMIGA 2000 bridgboard and it works generally as planned, but I wondered if I'm supposed to have to do something special about the audio output. With the standard installation, I get no sound. Any help from those with brideboards?? Pete LaMaster, 76426,243

Pete, You have to add a speaker to the 2 pins on the BridgeBoard. It doesn't use the Amiga's sound system. Unfortunately, the only place it's mentioned is on page #68 of the manual where it says J2 is used for an external speaker. To get a better idea where the connector is, look on page #63. The actual 2 pins are very hard to see, but if you look directly under the last 2 0's in the word '2000' in the text above the picture, you can barely make out the 2 pins. In any case, if you have the bridge board in your hand, the 2 pins will be readily visible if you look in the same spot. Don

Thanks for the confirmation of my fears. I saw the mention of the jumpers for the speaker, but it would be nice if the manual specifically stated that the sound MUST go through an external speaker. I'll be interested in the answers Darrell Jones gets since he seems to have tried the external speaker without success. Thanks again…I guess it's just one more confirmation that I should stick to the AMIGA side and use the bridgeboard for a trade-in on a hard disk. 76426,243 Pete LaMaster

Pete, See message 97253, I think I've got an answer for everyone on that subject (speaker). Don

You can run the audio output from the 2 pin header it's on to one of the pins on the 2000 motherboard over on the serial header. I don't have my schematics here or I could tell you the specifics. -Dave
