| When an A/V cable with mono audio is connected to a CRT monitor, the 3.5 mm audio output on the Commodore 64 Ultimate only plays the left audio channel. If the A/V cable is unplugged, both left and right channels work normally through the 3.5 mm jack. Some original custom Commodore 64 A/V cables were wired so that AUDIO IN (pin 5) and GROUND (pin 2) are tied together to reduce interference. The Commodore 64 Ultimate, however, repurposes pin 5 as the right audio channel (see User's Guide p.205). When you plug in one of these older-style cables, pin 5 is shorted to ground and silencing the right channel entirely. | When an A/V cable with mono audio is connected to a CRT monitor, the 3.5 mm audio output on the Commodore 64 Ultimate only plays the left audio channel.
