I noticed there's no sound from MS-DOS programs on my bridgeboard. The "play" and "sound" commands from GW-BASIC don't produce any sound, either. There's nothing in the manual about this. Do I need a board with a speaker, or should sound come through the Amiga monitor? Any information would be greatly appreciated. -- Ray Tripamer ray@jimi.cs.unlv.edu

There are 2 pins on the upper edge of the Bridgeboard (easily accessible)
for connecting a speaker. Refer to back of the Bridgeboard manual for the
exact location. I used a tiny 8 ohm speaker which you can get from places like
Radio Shack. The best place to mount the speaker is in the space just behind
the A-2000's plastic faceplate.

Is there anywhere to connect a speaker on a Sidecar ? att!mtgzz!bjh ...BJdaveh@cbmvax.UUCP (Dave Haynie) (01/10/89)

That's pin 6 of CN304 on a B2000. This will mix the PC audio with you Amiga audio. If you're a purist, this may annoy you (not sure how clean the PC audio is likely to be), but if you're just running sound through a monitor, it works fine. -- Dave Haynie "The 32 Bit Guy" Commodore-Amiga "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: D-DAVE H BIX: hazy Amiga -- It's not just a job, it's an obsession

Too bad I didn't know about that solution. I don't have my A-2000 anymore
so I can't try it. But having the sound come out of the Amiga's monitor seems
like the nicest way to do it.
