Quoted from dimthedaylights:

Hey everyone just got a Back to the Future: The Pinball today and it’s in fantastic shape and plays flawless. I have one issue I have no idea where to start. The call outs or voices are much lower than the music. The soundboard looks new and the speakers and sub have been replaced by a pinball pro set. I’m relatively new and looking for any help. Also explain it like I’m 5 please lol. Thanks in advance[quoted image]

2 things to check-

1) Make sure all speakers are functioning, not uncommon to have bad connection at uppers and you are only hearing cabinet speaker.

2) Go into audits and adjustments and check the music volume there and adjust as needed.

You could have a bad volume control, they are typically dual units but I'd start with these simple items first.

Looks like you have been taken care of. I also need some help, new to PINSIDE and have a Data East Star Trek 25th Anniversary pinball machine. It to is is in excellent condition. I have noticed that my sound seems to be distorted at times, and others it sound like a weird humming sound in the back ground. My volume control works but is not smooth in the increase or decrease in volume. My sound finally cut off the other day, and although I liked not having the sound issue anymore, i miss not having sound at all. Can someone help with advice?

The volume control is noted for getting crunchy with age. With the pin off try reseating the sound cables and try rotating the volume control high to low several times. Some background hum noise is fairly normal with DE pins and can vary by individual titles.
