Has anyone had an issue with the sound going to MAX on it's own during a game? The only way to turn the volume down is to shut the machine off and back on, or open the coin door and turn it down, or drain the ball. Only after you do one of those things will the volume go back to normal. It is random when it happens. The sound will completely cut out, give one bong, and then MAX volume.

I have replaced the interconnect cable twice with new ones, swapped out the sound board with a known 100% working one. Br's and large caps on the driver board have been replaced as well as the small cap at C2. I have a pinled mpu in the game that has worked great for 2 years. Everything on the machine works great (all switches, lights ect.).

Any help on this would be great.

Quoted from Mancave:

Can't say i've heard of this happening before and you've ruled out the obvious reasons it seems. Only thing i can come up with is perhaps the 4 switch bank on the coin door is getting a short every now and then and manually getting stuck on volume up? When you mention the "give one bong" it sounds like when the machine first turns on but i presume the machine isn't resetting. Got me stumped.

Correct, the machine itself is not resetting. It will continue to play. I am puzzled as well.

Quoted from cynric:

We've had this at the club. Afaik it is caused by the sound board resetting for some reason and not getting the volume set then. Check SB supply connectors and pins J502, PDB J114. If those are perfect and you still get the issue swap C4 on the PDB and C3 on the SB

That will need to be the next step. I will check those connections and report back.

Quoted from terryb:

Also check the cpu board for battery damage.

Impossible. Has a 1 year old PinLED MPU and it is clean.

Quoted from Mancave:

Did you try what cynric suggested in a post before? might be the answer.

I have not yet. The machine is no longer in my possession which makes testing more difficult as it is an hour away from me, but I want to get this corrected for him. I will eventually check this and report back with my findings.

Thank you to all who chimed in.
