[comp.sys.atari.st] 1040st sound problem

jcromwel@umabco.UUCP (John Cromwell) (12/05/89)

I have a 1040st that has recently developed problems playing digitized
sound. It will play ordinary game sounds ok, but the streplay demo 
sounds scratchy and low. Music Studio also has problems. I want to fix
this myself so what chip should I replace? I can get a sound chip, but
I wanted to check if I'm looking at the right culprit. Thanks...

  I forget the part number but it is the General Instruments sound chip
from Radio Shack.

   how do I know this......I had to replace mine and used this chip and
it's been working like a champ for over a year!

  The chip is about $10 (standard 40 pin size) but they do have it.
