Audio noise with RGB/SCART Cable/Super Famicom

[beharius]

In my setup official one did it too.(I know I wrote it before :))
Nintendo Scart cable is using 1 ground for both video+audio. Normally in a Scart spec, r+g+b lines have their own ground pins, same for audio l+r.
So I think if you want the best sound from that console wire the audio signals and their ground separately and mount 2 RCA jacks, and use a high quality cable for it.

I'm hopeless with a soldering iron :(

PS I don't even have one

Oh, or else I could get an RGB/Scart cable which already has phonos on it? I've seen some for sale.

Same thing. Third party cables suck. Once upon a time Monster manufactured some cables, but they are S-video. This noise thing maybe hardware related also, someone should give it a try... I no longer play with SNES, I sold it. I prefer playing it on XBOX (emulation). SNES controller can be converted for it.

I have now tested my RGB/Scart cables on a Sony CRT. One of them still has loads of noise (and picture is crap), the other has a perfect picture and nearly no audio noise. I think I will stick to this one.

Best solution is to wire yourself a console to female scart cable that is as short as possible, and connect from that to your TV with some properly shielded, thicker (often very expensive) scart cables.

Good idea, thanks.
