First thing to check in both cases is if the proper voltages are getting to the boards. I don't have a Devil's Dare schematic to check the sound board, but the pop bumper boards are supplied 5V via pin 5 and ground via pin 6. If either of them is missing then they won't work. Both are supplied via A1J6 (bottom side on the left of the MPU), so also check if reseating that helps at all.
