Hi guys,

I have an Amiga one X5040 and bought a ATI Radeon Sapphire X1950 GT 256MB GDDR3 DUAL DVI-I/TVO
on ebay.
https://www.ebay.at/itm/176603571492
It's conncted with a DVI-to HDMI cable on a flat monitor.
Worked with OS4.

When i boot the X5040 with a USB stick it boots up and a few seconds later the monitor goes black and says "no signal".

Maybe the videocable is the issue ?
Or any other hints ?

Regards.

What resolution does the monitor have?

If it is above FullHD the autodetection could have chosen a mode that would only work to over DualLinke DVI.
Either use a smaller screen or see if you can access the early boot menu with holding left mouse button.
Once you booted into a lower res make sure to save that and you should be able just run that on any screen.

You can also hold ctrl key while MorphOS is booting to force a low-res fallback mode.

Thanks all, i used an older Monitor and i am able to boot and install without issues.

Thx again.

I didn't know about that forced low resolution triggered by the Ctrl key. Good to know.
Any other secret keys that trigger something when MorphOS boots?

Sadly it seems there is an audio issue with the X5040 board.
There is a crackling sound after 1-2 minutes.
I googled a lot to find a solution but i did not find one,
hope they fix it one day.

Indeed, the older thread on that topic went without solution, unfortunately.

Ahh OK... i also did some testing with a cheap CMI based soundcard.. and also same sound issues.

Hoping to see a fix or if not I will explore buying a new audio card down the road. Is why I don't use MorphOS much right now as no sound means not fun for me to explore so.

Keeping my eyes open for a possible fix down the road if the team can fix one day or I will see about a new audio card one day.

Yeah it's very sad i like Moprhos a lot and it's fast as well.
My last try is a Soundblaster Live! coming next week, i let you know if it makes any difference.
Andreas tried a lot in an older post so i don't belive it works anyway.
Maybe a dev reads this and spend some time to fix this problem for X5040 board users.?
Seems i am not the only one

Also seems to be a X5000/40 issue, as i have sound on my X5000/20.

Indeed must be a X5000/40 problem, i wonder if any usb soundcard would do the trick.

Anyways i don't buy 10 sound cards for one success
