SSDS3 Audio Bypass No Cap vs Cap

[@GadgetUK164]

Subbed! Didn't know you had a channel!

Thanks for answering my request

[@MrDirkles]

i have revision 2 and it sounds exactly like your demonstration without the cap installed

[@RedArremer]

Did you mean to say it has buzzing or sounds clean? If it sounds clean, then what you have is the revision 2.1 where they installed a tantalum cap on the underside. However, you're still getting clipped audio on louder CD games and louder HuCard games. The only fix for that is my bypass board.

@@RedArremer it sounds exactly like your video where you show the difference on your ssd3 from having and not having the capiacitor. I'm also getting clipped audio. I've ordered a new RGB scart cable add you suggest on your other video :) but the UK supplier of your audio module is out of stock. The added capacitor is as you say on the back but the cathode end is the opposite end to the capacitor near it. With terraonions reputation I wouldnt be surprised if they put it on the wrong way

@@MrDirkles If you can take photo of the back, I can let you know if it's installed backwards. At any rate VGP has ordered a larger new batch of bypass boards, but it will take a couple weeks to arrive. I tried to convince them the demand was far more than they were anticipating, but they had already committed to a small batch run and sold out the first day. The next batch coming in will be plenty more available.

@@RedArremer Ive got one of the cables you suggest on your you tube video and though the sound is slightly more crisp it still has that god awful buzzing which makes the thing unusable.

[@RedArremer]

@@MrDirkles Which cable? There were 4 different ones I mentioned.

Do you offer the modding service? I'd be willing to send my supersdsystem 3 since I don't trust my own soldering skills.

[@RedArremer]

Indeed I do! Send me an email and we'll work out a service plan. my addy is [e-mail] Cheers!

I think you mentioned that VideoGamePerfection should be stocking your audio bypass board for international customers. Any rough ETA on when that is expected? Thanks!

[@RedArremer]

Talk to Matt Buxton on Twitter and see when his ETA is. Thanks!
