Re: Battlezone sound problems

I just realized that it could also be a bad Sound Enable. I'll
check that the 4066 is receiving the correct enable signal
before passing judgment on it.

Headphones are a good idea for finding audio while tracing back
the circuit. I have a multimeter and a logic probe, too. As for
using the Force, I save that for playing Battlezone blind.
