Hello group!

My SnS has a weird sound problem. The problem is hard to discribe, but I'll give it a shot.

The problem is that -some- of the game sounds just seemingly randomly disappear. This happens during most of my games. And they randomly reapear later on in the game. The game is never completely silent, it's just that -some- sounds aren't there anymore. If I reboot the game, it works properly again, until it decides to do the same thing again during the game.

It's always the same sounds that are missing. Among the sounds that disappear are: -all- of the speech calls, and the 'bass line' of the 'normal' in-game tune. Some of the hurry-up tunes only exist of the drums, and miss the entire melody section.

The leds on the boards seem to pulse normally. I've tried reseating roms and connectors. That didn't help.

A clue, anyone?

My guess is one of your ribbon cables has a problem. Check the ribbon cable between the CPU and the Driver board as well as the sound board cables.
