That's just the way these boards are it seems. I got one for my F-14 and while the music is ok, the actual voices and sound effects are much louder than the music and sound terrible compared to the default sound board. Luckily I have it as a spare now as I got the original board fixed but the stock one sounds much better with actual bass and voices that won't blow your ears off if you turn up the game, the new board just sounds so lifeless in comparison.
