MiSTer FPGA Forum

Guys, deal with this before you go reporting problems everywhere. Thanks for the explanation, Ricardo. But these forums are exactly for reporting this kind of stuff, how else are we going to know about them (not everyone is on Discord, Twitter, etc)? I haven't seen it mentioned in the main Pi thread on this board, hence my doubts when replying to ...

Ok, not sure about your DAC (it should work...) but how about connecting audio directly from the I/O board mini jack to external speakers/headphone/etc? I mean, it really should be fine on the new-design I/O boards. The lower quality sound (which wasn't all that bad to start with) and subsequent DAC solutions were a thing with the 6.1 boards and I...

I got this set up working going by following simple advice in some thread on this forum, so if you had a similar source, it's probably solid. For the sake of being thorough, try to skip the switcher and connect the DAC directly to some other speaker than your TV (even headphones). EDIT: another simple thing - you did power the DAC, right? Taki's I...

I thought Taki's I/O board is new design and that they are have improved audio? Also, it's a bit confusing when you mention "composite" CRT video and "composite" audio connections. Do you mean you're connecting the DAC to the TV to get audio? Overall, yeah, a proper DAC + TOSLINK cable should work ok, at least it does on one of...

Advised by whom? When they are talking DAC, they probably mean an HDMI->VGA DAC for Direct Video? But that doesn't make sense with your setup. I would first start by reading the MiSTer FPGA docs , thoroughly. Pay particular attention to the Using Your CRT With MiSTer section. Connecting via composite requires a few additional steps and some adapte...

Apologies if I'm asking a dumb question, but I am a newcomer to the whole FPGA scene and have been struggling to get past a very specific hurdle since receiving my MiSTer Pi. I'm trying to hook this up to a CRT with composite inputs, and while I am able to get video out using the VGA port on the I/O board, I am having a lot of trouble getting audio...
