Odyssey 2: No audio via TOSLINK

Unread post by 12characters »

I connect MiSTer to an external speaker via an optical audio cable on the analog IO board. This works perfect for all cores but Odyssey2, which is silent. Sound works fine with the same core if I change to either an analog cable or HDMI.

I suspect that it is a bug in the Odyssey2 core. Can anyone confirm the issue?

EDIT:
Looking at similar topics, it seems to be a problem for some arcade cores as well. So I guess optical audio output is a feature that is not implemented in all cores?

I'm using toslink with the Odyseey 2 with no problem. I just checked.

Do you get a bleep sound when you load the core?

I can't get any bins to load but I'm definitely getting a startup sound when the core loads.

Yep I get the beep when the select is shown. Make sure you have the BIOS installed. All the games work with the core.

Do you know if the BIOS is in the database?

ETA:
Nevermind, for some reason it wasn't loading the BIOS but a hard reboot seemed to fix it.
