Hi,
I have a sound problem with a Williams Earthshaker. When I power on the pin, and play the first ball the music works fine. After I loose the first ball, I don't get any sounds for the bonus countdown. The second ball comes into play and the background music no longer plays. I only have some sound effects left that play. Sometimes all of a sudden, the background music starts playing again, but sometimes not. The problem seems to always start whenever the machine tries to play the bonus score countdown and multiplier effects after the first ball ends. When I power off and power on the machine and start a new game, background music is there again until I loose the first ball and the bonus score sfx should have started. I replaced sound rom U4 and U19 with new ones as I thought there was maybe something wrong with them but it's still the same. Any idea what I could do next?
