helps reduce noise. However, any GS may exhibit Slot noise when a few power-
sucking boards (e.g. an accelerator) are plugged in.
For ways to reduce noise see the Power Supplies and Cooling FAQs file
CSA2POWER.TXT. Check Q&A related to power supply enhamcements and/or possible
swaps. Also check Q&A 019.

026- My IIgs has no sound from the internal speaker. How
can I fix this?
The fix _may_ be fairly easy. Try plugging Stereo headphones into the Sound
Output jack on the back of the GS. Whatever you plug in (headphones, a
connection to an amplifier, etc.) must have a Stereo plug. If you get sound
through the headphones but no sound when the headphones are unplugged, it means
that your jack is, probably, messed up.
There's a leaf switch which is part of the jack which is supposed to close
and connect-up your internal speaker when nothing is plugged in. If this
switch's contacts become dirty or the leaf loses its springiness, the switch
fails to close. The easiest long-term fix is to either
A. solder a jumper which keeps the switch closed whether or
not anything is plugged in or
B. plug in an external speaker (using a Stereo plug).
Another, fairly rare, cause of Sound loss is that the internal Speaker "+"
lead has been pressed against a pointy Ground circuit point on the motherboard.
This sometimes happens when the small front panel and/or the motherboard has
been removed and replaced without making sure the Speaker lead is routed
correctly.
If neither of the above fits your Soundlessness problem, describe your
system and post the question to Csa2.
