    As I understand it the pinsound board sticks to the wood surface?

    I would like to switch it between games though.

    Is this going to be an issue fitting and re-fitting?

    Thanks

    Quoted from Staf:

    no , it fits to the metal plate , where all the boards are . just remove the old soundboard and it fits in the metal screw holes .

    Thanks - I need to watch video as thought old board is left in the game.

    Isn't now the time to create some new mixes?

    I actually worked out a way of making a new mix - using free software on the net.

    Doing a MB Queen mix, plus an ABBA MB mix, and a Sweet MB mix.

    Just got to decide where to put various songs.

    So I made a Pink Floyd and a Queen version of MB.

    How do I get both on USB?

    I did put both on but volume only goes as low as 8 on MB and it's supposed to be 0 to switch files?

    Thanks

    #256 3 years ago

    Thanks - will make adjustment.

    Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

    So, you put both orchestration folders in the "audio" folder on the USB, right? If this is the case then you can switch between them exactly like you stated - use the service buttons (or headphone station if you have it), and turn the volume to 0. You will hear a chime and a 5 second preview of the newly selected orchestration. Turn the volume back up to normal and play.
    If you can only lower volume to 8 then you need to change the min volume setting in service modes.
    A.1 28 Minimum Volume Override | Yes (default is NO)

    I did all of above. Two folders in audio folder. Vol down to zero.

    Not switching to second version which is only 84mb instead of 1.03GB like the first.

    Presume Pinsound shrunk the second file?

    #260 3 years ago

    Thanks - they are all OGG so didn't know they had to be all WAV.

    Got pinsound on my MB.

    Is it normal to have some white noise sound after game is turned on?

    When game is started, sound is pretty good.

    Louder on left back speaker - from players perspective.

    Thanks

    #583 3 years ago
    Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

    When game is powered on, you should here some beeping as the PinSound board is loading the orchestrations, then a confirmation chime (or custom sound if you've added it), then you should be good to go.

    Thanks - that all happens.

    Just wondered how much background hiss is acceptable coming from speaker?

    Quoted from dimthedaylights:

    I have mine on a Data east and putting pinsound in actually reduced my hum, check your settings like sub booster etc and see if that makes a difference

    Didn't even know that pinsound board has adjustable sound settings?

    Quoted from DeathHimself:

    What game is it, did you replace the stock speakers, is it wired for stereo like the manual suggests or did you leave it mono?

    Stock speakers. WPC-95 MB. Haven't made any adjustments?

    Thanks

    #591 3 years ago

    Yes, plus. Will look into speaker wire kit.

    Adjustment knobs didn't make a difference.

    Thanks

    A great feature of pinsound is putting additional ( how many ? ) mixes on the USB and then being able to choose by moving vol switch to zero.

    I tried this but can only get two and that is if I use the original sounds and one other.

    Monster Bash is the game.

    So I can have Pink Floyd plus original, or Queen plus original but can't have Queen and Pink Floyd?

    Still I have original plus one which is better than nothing!

    Wondering if there is a fix?
