I examined the "dead" AR board and found that pin 4 on J8 is sheared off. That probably happened while we were moving the game from the basement of the seller's house. That was a very difficult move. The J8 connector is the audio output connection. The broken pin 4 means no sound was leaving the board.]]>

I was directed to the Digital to Analog Converters.
