Guest Bryan Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Hi everyone, Can you tell me what sound output options the Cube has? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Just stereo outputs sadly. That said, the number of Pro Logic based Cube titles, and better yet, the Pro Logic II mixed titles, can sound wonderful. I think Pro Logic II is becoming more common on Cube titles now, which is nice to see. Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry the Clown Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Well, I'm none too sure on the cable set up if you're running component. The s-video cable carries 3 plugs at the end, one for the video, and one white and one red for the audio. Someone will have to chime on on rigging the cube for audio of running component as I've no experience there. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bryan Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 That is what I am currently doing - component video plus the red & white crappy sound. I was hoping for some kind of digital sound upgrade. Note: I love my Cube, just wish the sound would fill my room a little better. Not a Cube rant at all.

Angry the Clown Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Mmm, sadly the Cube only delivers analogue audio output, but like I said, many of the games with Pro Logic and Pro Logic II support can sound really excellent.

JFo Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 I concur with Daniel. Though the GameCube only offers analog audio outputs, the sound coming from some games is still extremely good - particularly with games supporting Dolby Pro-Logic II support.

Beer Monkey Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 The component cable can be hacked/modified to output Toslink or Coax Stereo PCM at 16/48. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFo Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Really, Beer Monkey? Would you care to enlighten us how this is done? I've not heard about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Yes, please share your cable mods! Right now Im using the component cable and the pack-in cable for audio. My receiver does not support Pro-Logic II, but the Pro-Logic I get from it is very good. I think the best sound I've got from the Cube so far has been from Eternal Darkness.

Beer Monkey Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 The Gamecube audio mod (actually, modding the cable) info is in this thread, if I remember correctly: http://atarilabs.com/cgi-bin/UltraBoard/Ul...ID=942&SID=3203 If it's not there, it is somewhere in that forum. My understanding is that the 'digital' output connector on the Gamecube is actually some form of DVI. The cable is 'smart'...not your typical passive video cable. If the digital audio was there all along, they should have included it on the component cable...even if it meant another $5-$10 in total price. FYI, I'm still using the analog audio output.
