Hello.
I've been working on getting my Dreamcast set up in a Blast City cab. I have a pad hack, and the controls are working excellently. I also have a great picture with my VGA box. My only problem is a lack of sound. I have a 001 loom with RCA jacks. I have that hooked up through a monoprice 666 cable (stereo jack with female RCA connectors). I still don't have any sound. I'm told there is a selector switch somewhere on the loom to go between JAMMA or RCA sound, but I haven't seen it. I've checked my volume selector knob. The only thing I haven't done is pull my power supply to check the amps. I'm hoping to avoid that. Does anybody have any guidance?
Thanks!
John
Dreamcast in a Blast City...No sound
Re: Dreamcast in a Blast City...No sound
The 001 loom should have two separate yellow connectors for sound. One is usually tagged "speakers" which sends sound directly from jamma, and other is "line" which is for when you are using an external source plugged into the RCA jacks. You want "line" to be plugged in and you source to be connected to the RCA jacks.

Re: Dreamcast in a Blast City...No sound
Thanks for the tips. I have those speaker connections exactly as you show them. One goes to my RCA jacks, and the other goes to what appears to be a six pin that I think is meant for jamma sound. Any input is appreciated. I've never pulled the PSU to check the amps, and to tell you the truth I'm not sure what a blown amp looks like.
