The craziest thing happened to me last night. I was playing Indiana Jones, and had a really good score going.

Everything was going my way when all of a sudden, the game goes quiet for about 2 seconds, plays the BONG sound like it does when you turn the power on, silent for about 15 more seconds, and then resumes normal audio at maximum volume.

You should have seen me trying to keep the ball in play while my daughter tries to grab the key to unlock the coin door. I was able to make the Mode Start shot, just before she opened the coin door. I adjusted the volume back to normal, she closed the coin door, and I was ready for the game to eject the ball from the Mode Start saucer.

I'm not sure what was going on. Anyone else have this happen?

It took me longer than ten seconds to get her over to the game, to grab the key. It was painfully loud, and she had hands over her ears.

I seriously thought it was going to blow a speaker.

Sounds like a DCS Audio thing, and not a bug in the IJ sound ROMS.

Quoted from ab3:

There are a couple other instances I've also had in the game that aren't as drastic as you experienced, but where a call out blasts way over usual volume, then goes back to normal shortly after. I assume it's a glitch?

This happens to me pretty frequently. For me, it's always when I complete the INDY rollovers. One character's call out is noticeably louder than the others. After that, the volume goes back to normal. It's always Marion or Willie, never any of the others.

Quoted from Jenk540i:

Well known issue. It was corrected with one of the later ROM versions. Scares the crap out of you when it happens.

Looks like my U6 is running L1 ROMS. The rest say L2.

Quoted from Dayhuff:

Check the two connectors on the right side of the driver board (J107 I think is one of them?) and the LED lights on the board #2 and #3. #2 should always be on steady and #3 should randomly blink on and off. Did you notice if the feature lights were on still?

Hey John. It wasn't a total reset, if that's what you're getting at. The DMD never changed and I kept my score and everything.

Quoted from Coyote:

It WAS a reset - but an Audio board reset, not the MPU. That's what the single 'bong' was - for some reason the board reset.
Like others mentioned, could be a ROM/software issue, or a power issue..
However, yes, checking LEDs on the power driver board won't tell you anything..

True. I meant not a total MPU reset like the TZ reset from hell that I was dealing with a few months ago.

Audio board reset does make sense.

Quoted from johnwartjr:

I have ROMs if you need them.

Yes, I know. If only this had happened a few weeks ago, huh?

I bought my TZ home ROMs from you, a long time ago.
