question regarding the pinsound install - I have the drive preloaded from pinsound, installed the board and now it's been saying 'Checking sound files please wait' for almost half an hour - anyone else have this issue?

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:Alternatively, PM me and I'm happy to give you a link to download the JP drive fully ready to go.
Mr_Tantrum — thanks! The drive came fully prepared with the correct folder structure - however it still took 35 minutes to check the files. However upon turning on now, it’s completely fine.

I apologize if this has been discussed, and if I missed the post - I'd done a search for 'Firmware' and 'Self-Diagnosis' but didn't find the answer so I thought I'd ask.
I've recently purchased my 2nd Pinsound+ package, and in re-aquatinting myself with the install I only now noticed the firmware revisions - which when I bought my first one I never did, I simply installed it in my DE-JP and it's worked ever since.
That being said -- I would like to run the latest firmware update before unzipping the sound packages on my newest install, but am wondering about my older machine -- has anyone ever run into issues installing new firmware on their pinsound+ boards? do I need to incrementally run firmware updates or can I jump over almost a year and a half of updates? personally I like running new firmware revisions if it benefits me, but in this case with it working perfectly should I bother? (mostly I wondered about compatibility with potential hardware revisions).
Also -- since I've never run any of the updates when I did the original install - how do I run the self diagnostic test on the pinsound+ to determine its firmware version?
Thanks for your help!
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:You will be just fine jumping firmware on PS+, but if you had original PS you could potentially have an issue depending upon how old your installed firmware was (even then, there is a special process for updating to current firmware through a specific intermediate firmware update).
At worst, if you have a really old version and are still running an orchestration that follows the old naming convention then you will need to redownload and install those orchestrations from the website where they have all been updated to the new convention.
If you take your existing USB and put it in your computer is there a log file in the root of the drive? If so, open this with a text editor to see the installed firmware version.
I shall check the USB that's installed in the game, and update to the latest - Thanks Mr_Tantrum

Hello All - question regarding the JP Endprodukt mix.
My JP worked totally normal for a long long time, but now when the I start a new game and the 'welcome to JP' animation and sound intro play - the sounds are doubled up - IE welcome to JP and some other audio cue play at the same time.
I've updated to the latest firmware and even reinstalled the endprodukt mix to no change.
Anything I should try?
Thanks!
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:Did you change anything regarding the sounds? Sometimes when you hear a sound play it is actually multiple back to back sounds. If you lengthen the initial sound there there will be overlap when the second sound plays.
I haven’t changed anything - the game sat there I played for a while and when I turned it on it started doing this. The rest of the sounds seem to play normally
