Re: Separate Audio Output with Digital IO Board

I checked the HDMI audio setting in the .ini file. Was at the default 48kHz. Switched the 96kHz option on but it didn’t help.
Not looking promising.

Update: Tried another optical cable but no improvement. Guess there’s an issue with optical out on my MiSTer board.

Re: Separate Audio Output with Digital IO Board

Thanks for your reply. According to the data sheet this DAC doesn’t support 96kHz so I think you may be on to something there. I’ll investigate later tonight.
I am using a 4A power supply with my MiSTer.

Re: Separate Audio Output with Digital IO Board

I didn’t want to start a new thread for this issue and this seems like the appropriate thread. I bought a little DAC to use with my MiSTer and already owned the required 3.5mm toslink to regular toslink cable. Connecting it up to the MiSTer the audio output is mostly clicks and pops with snatches of the correct audio coming through. I tested the ca...

Re: No Power Light or Image on Screen

I tried the new microSD card with my Mac and balenaEtcher to write the MiSTer Fusion image and I’m happy to report the MiSTer is working fine. It even has green lights next to the active peripherals on the USB hub now. And the wi-fi is working just fine too. Does look like the SD card slot in my laptop is best avoided. Thanks for all the advice guys.

Re: No Power Light or Image on Screen

Can you rule out your computer's MicroSD card reader/adapter/whatever you're using to write the cards? Because a lot of those are cheap and terrible. It could be that your MiSTer is fine, and that the problem is actually your computer corrupting every MicroSD card it touches. That's a good point, both cards were inserted into my inexpensive HP lap...

Re: No Power Light or Image on Screen

I did buy a new microSD card and used MiSTer Fusion & Win 32 Disk Imager to prepare it but once it was installed in my MiSTer I still had the same problem as before.

Re: No Power Light or Image on Screen

I solved a similar problem by using MiSTer Fusion to create another SD card and copying files from that over to the existing non-booting card. Your mister.ini file can most likely be kept unchanged. And maybe check the existing card for file errors on a PC (with the standard properties->extra->error checking function of Windows). Unfortunately I a...

Re: No Power Light or Image on Screen

You don't have the original sdcard i've sent with it? I usually recommend you keep that and build a new one. If you need i could sent you an sdcard image or step by step how to do it. When no lights but fan spinning is usually some issue on sdcard configuration. I still have the original SD card you supplied. When I insert it into my Windows 10 sy...

No Power Light or Image on Screen

I picked up a pre-built Ultimate MiSTer Pro system recently and it's been working fine until the other day. When I turn on the power the power light doesn't light up and there is no image on the screen. However the cooling fan spins up and I can see a blue light on the board beneath it. Also the right hand side light on the NIC is still working. Ha...
