A lot of times on my EBD, with the outlanes in particular, seems the game won't make any scoring noise when it goes thru but I sort of think it's because the game is making some other sound effect at the time, and it probably did register even though I wasn't watching to see if it actually scored. Can't remember being ripped off when they were lit for special though. Did you try them in test or manually in play mode repeatedly and still get some misses?
