So after a couple of hours I managed to make a loom that captures all sounds, that's left+right+front+rear+music from DSB2. The original loom is unhacked.

I made 2 sections of cabling.
One section plugs into both the front/rear 4-pin outputs on the game cage then and splits the output into 2 cables. Both the front and rear each plug into a small mixer pcb using 2 5-pin connectors (L and R on the Mixer PCB). The end of both of the other halves terminates into 2 male connectors that the existing wiring plugs back into. I scavenged the male connectors from 2 filter boards.

I then take the 4-pin output from the mixer that mixes the front+rear and plug it into another small mixer PCB using a 5-pin connector.

To get the game music I split the sound from the DSB2 into 2 and one half goes into the remaining connector on the 2nd mixer using a 5-pin connector, the existing cable then plug into the end of the new loom using a connector from a filter board.

To get sound to the Neet convertor I hacked a 3.5mm cable and put new crimps into a new 4-pin connector that plugs into the 4-pin output on the 2nd mixer amp pcb.

The sound did come out a bit low in this test unfortunately. I tried turning up the volume to max in the Neet convertor menu but it's still a bit quiet. So I tried editing the video in Sony Vega 12, but unfortunately the output file from the Blackmagic capture card has the sound missing when I try to use Sony Vegas 12.

So I ended up trying Virtual Dub to convert the file into something Sony Vegas can process, that gave me distorted sound when I tried to raise the sound level. Finally I tried the encoder Handbrake (what a coincidence!!) and was able to raise the volume using the 'gain' set to 20. I've uploaded the outputted file from Handbrake here:

After using Handbrake the MP4 file is now fine to use with Sony Vegas, I'm able to adjust the sound levels without any issues.

A lot of messing about to do something pretty simple!

Thanks for watching.
