Hello!

on SB2.0 cards there are 2 jumpers called JP12-FM and JP13-VOICE :

What do they actually do? Does JP12 for example disables the onboard OPL2 completely or it remains active on the bus but the SB MCU ignores it or something?
I assume the same would apply to JP13, does it disable the SB part?
Any clues about this?

Thanks! 😊

Those are not jumpers, but rather, output headers, intended to be connected to the corresponding mixer input headers of the uncommon SB2.0 CD-ROM interface card (CT-1800).

Oh, so if you "disable" fm for example by putting a jumper there what you actually do is grounding it's audio output, correct?
I am not even sure now if just pulling the ym3812 is good as it will leave several floating pins on the board... Thanks Cloudschatze for that rare info 😀

I just got a 1350B in the mail today and was wondering the same thing. I thought I had heard about them being output headers, but couldn't really think what they would be used for.

Documentation on these things really could stand some improvement. I still have no idea what many of the jumpers on some of my sound cards actually do.
