No audio

It has happened to me many times. In each case the console is fine at first but then I reassemble it or add PSNee or Xstation and lose audio or video. Without power through the audio cable you won't even get video.
It's very delicate. Resoldering does not usually help because the break happens inside the cable layers at the edge of the pad. I've bypassed it on multiple Playstations.

Is new cable needed then? Thanks for your reply.
10P 0.5mm FFC/FPC breakout with an appropriate 10P cable would facilitate connecting to these alternate points on a PU-18:
I am having a similar issue, but get periodic buzzing or static with my sound. The video looks great. I have tried to find bridges in the sound chip, but don’t see any.
I even took the chip off so I could check under the pins for any extra solder. No change.
Will this extra board work with this issue?

Do what CZroe posted. It worked like a charm. No issues with the sound now. I just removed the audio ribbon cable and installed the small board and used a new ribbon.

Do you happen to have any pics of your installation? Where did you secure the board? Just ordered the parts and going to give this a try later this week.
I do not have any pictures. I already sold the system. I believe I placed it on the right side of the ps1digital after protecting surfaces with insulating tape. I secured it with tape as well. Held really well and didn’t have any issues. I’ll likely be doing it that way again for my next installs because it was so much easier than dealing with the tiny audio ribbon. It isn’t as “clean” looking, but doing it this way would have saved me hours of time trying to find shorts and reflowing solder.
So I see that you have 2 different spots here with the number '2'. Can you get 5 volt from either of these spots? Do the green, blue, red and yellow locations also get soldered to the cable adapter or are they supposed to be jumpers from the audio chip to the locations you have marked on the board?
