I'm not an expert on modding electronics, so I'm wondering if maybe someone can help me explain a problem I'm having with my "new" old MK I. (New in the sense that it saw very little use by the original owner.)
When the headphone volume is at a "normal" listening level (you know, around 3-4, so you don't go totally deaf) there's static and interference when some of the lower-frequency (deeper bass) sounds go. For an exceptionally annoying experience, I tried it out with Shining Force it wasn't sounding pretty.
However, if the headphone volume is turned all the way up, this does not happen. I tried it two ways: first with headphones, which I removed from my head and held a couple inches from my ears, and second, by plugging the input plug for my Cambridge Soundworks PCWorks speaker set into it. (The PCWorks are a 2.1--that is, 2 satellite cubes and an amp/subwoofer--sound system that I use for playing console games. Either way, when the headphone output for the Genesis is at full, there's no problem.
I tried opening up the box and dusting everything out with my gas duster, checked the headphone slider for corrosion, etc. and I don't see amy problems, but it didn't help. Any ideas?
