If you replaced all caps in the audio circuit (circled green) your problem should be fixed.

So the sound and headphones were not working AT ALL on my Turbo Express and I did this mod - the sound now works in both the headphones and speakers - but its the infamous low sound. Low in both speakers and headphones. What do you recommend doing?

For anyone who was wondering where to order capacitors from - http://www.digikey.com/ - is fucking awesome.

I ordered 40 various capacitors for $8.40 shipped. It arrived in two days. Great service.

Trying to pick up a few caps locally to fix the sound on my Expresses...  Will a 100 uF 35V work for the sound fix?

thats fine roy,as long as its not under 6v from the original rating. i used a higher voltage on mine i remember cause i couldnt find 6v

I've never done any soldering or repair work before but it seemed easy enough to give it a try.  Worked like a charm!  Thanks to guides and help from cool people on this forum another Express sounds good as new.  Thanks guys!
