I just moved my Uni upstairs, and without thinking too much obviously, instead of plugging the white left hand audio line into the left hand speaker, I did the clever thing and plugged it into the 12v line coming off the JVS I/O. Now even with it all plugged in correctly I'm getting a massive buzzing sound on both speakers.
Any idea what has blown on the amp and if it's fixable, or am I in the market for a new amp?

Re: Sega Naomi Uni Sound Amp problem
without looking at the schems i would say you have shorted the +12 so trace the +12 back until you find it again-my guess is that you have fried the amp ic but also you may have just killed the 12v reg
Re: Sega Naomi Uni Sound Amp problem
Everything else is working fine though, it is just the amp that isn't working properly. It is actually still giving out audio, but with huge distortions, which is making me think I've killed a cap or something instead of completely frying the amp.

Re: Sega Naomi Uni Sound Amp problem
Sorry to intrude, but I'm hopign that the same advice wil help us both
I've got a weird problem with my amp / speakers. In stereo, wired with phone jacks, the sound is perfect, but over mono via the jamma connector it has a horrible buzzing.
Any ideas what it could be? I've half herted looked for a broken connection from the jamma harness, but to no avail.

I'm guessing that it will be blown caps that have done it. That's what I think will have happened to mine. Hopefully someone will be able to confirm/deny that possiblility though.

It's not mains hum is it? I used to get that with my old woodie MAME setup, until I sorted out the grounding.markedkiller78 wrote:Sorry to intrude, but I'm hopign that the same advice wil help us both

Re: Sega Naomi Uni Sound Amp problem
Ah ok. So that would definitely put me in the market for a new amp then

Could be mate. It's perfect in stereo, but that comes from a different lead.cools wrote:It's not mains hum is it? I used to get that with my old woodie MAME setup, until I sorted out the grounding.markedkiller78 wrote:Sorry to intrude, but I'm hopign that the same advice wil help us both

How do I check if the jamma harness is grounded properly?
