I installed pinsound+ in a friends Lotr with the same usb stick as pinsound themselves sell.

I noticed to that when the ball is in the shooter lane their is no music till you shoot the ball and it hits the first switch. For the rest it appears to be OK but if a sound is not played I would not notice it anyway I guess.

Sometimes the sound is a little choppy but my guess this is because of a lack of enough power. I recognized the same issue when installing a pinsound in a friends Elvis. Gonna install an external power supply to overcome this.

The sound mix i used is V1 downloaded from the Pinsound community like 2-3 weeks ago.

No comment on this eg is this now normal or not?

Have informed Nicolas on the issue with no sound when using Pinsound+ and he is looking into it.

Pinsound has put up a new firmware at

https://www.pinsound.org/help/pinsound-plus-help/

And asks to try it out and see if this fixes this issue. Have forwarded it to my friend who has the LotR. Will report ASAP or perhaps somebody earlier will be quicker to do so.

Are you having a Pinsound or Pinsound +?

My friend installed it and has same experience eg only sound in shooter lane with first ball

Again a new firmware for Pinsound available which hopefully should fix the nosound when in shooterlane issue. Pinsound has good hopes on it.

As soon as my friend has time to install it I will give feedback.

Wow. Great minds think alike. He beat me with 20 seconds

Friend installed it and tested it to be OK now

So this issue with pinsound+ is solved, case closed.

Thanks for the support.

Can tell you from personal experience that the Wool mix with latest Pinsound firmware on a Pinsound plus has sound when the ball is still in shooterlane. This for first and more balls.

My friends has same problem to. You should be able to adjust this with Pinsound studio. If it is really all FX sounds this shouldn’t be to much of an issue as there is a control know in Pinsound studio with which you can adjust all sounds in a single knobturn.

Did contact already a person on a German forum who has done this but no reply yet.

On a to-do list.

Main theme sound. Just like you get when first switch is hit. We had the same issue till last firmware update.

Any video of it and where it can be downloaded?

I did get Sjoerds file on an usb stick some time ago. Don’t know if he has changed it but you can download it at

That’s strange. It’s a download from Microsoft OneDrive, you would expect that to be always up and running. Anyway, glad it succeeded in the end.
