Re: Problem setting up mt32-Pi hat

Still no joy for me unfortunately.
I’ll give some details of my experience so far.
I have Antonio Villena’s slim model. I bought my first mt32-pi from misterfpga.co.uk and paired it with a pi 3 B.
Antonio’s MiSTer doesn’t have a USB shaped IO port, his are DB9. So I made a cable as per this wiring diagram he kindly provided.
After downloading the files and configuring the SD card I plugged it all in. I have power fine. The mt32-pi screen is on and the bars are moving up and down, both on the mt-32-pi and on my tv screen. I can control it all through the ODS just fine. But I’ve never heard a single thing with it. So I bought another, different cable and made another one as per the wiring diagram, exactly the same result.
So I then bought a second mt32-pi, this time direct from Antonio, this one came with a cable. After it was set up, I have power to the mt32-pi, the screen is on a working fine, but on this one the bars are not moving and I have no sound.
I tried a different SD card, with no difference, multiple formats and re-downloads of the software, dozens of double checking the mt32-pi.cfg.
And that’s where I am now.
I can’t think of anything other than I have a bad IO board. I’m almost positive it’s that.
If anybody here can think of something else I could try before I buy a new one, I’ll give it a go. I figured you would be the best guys to ask.
Or alternatively, if anybody on here is local to the Dorset area and would be willing to try my mt32-pi on their MiSTer I’d be very grateful.
