So this question may have been covered but I’ve searched a few times and haven’t found an answer.

I have a Data East JP with a Neo board in it, everything works great but I cannot turn down the volume any lower than it currently is(or “mute” it), which is somewhat loud for when the family is asleep upstairs

Same goes for the Plus board I currently have on loan in my WWFRR. Volume /gain controls on the board itself don’t help.

The volume pot inside the cabinet door on both games is turned all the way down to its lowest. Both pots worked properly prior to the pinsound boards being installed and was. Am I missing something?

The Plus had the EQ adjustments on board I believe.

I don’t have headphone station on either. No real desire for one to be honest.

Maybe I’ll look into this minimum volume setting. I assume it’s in a config file somewhere on the SD card. Not the end of the world, but it would be nice to be able to mute a game if I had to, or at least turn it down a tad bit more.

No difference with the Background volume adjustment.

Looked into the firmware and both boards were running older versions from 2018 (ver 18.x.x)

Updated both and now the volume pot near the coin box is working great.

Heads up, if you’re having similar issues with the minimum volume on Data East or System 11 games, try updating the firmware. Checking out the change log, there has been a few updates to address volume issues on these systems over the past few years.

It’s literally just grabbing the file from the pinsound site and dragging it to the SD card and turning on your game.

So up until now I haven't many issues with pinsound that I couldn't figure out.

But I decided to take another stab at putting a good WWFRR mix together.

It's been probably about a year since I made my last one, so I was thrown off by being greeted with a .pspack file on the pinsound download page.
I managed to figure out that once load into pinsound studio, it creates a folder with the files. Ok cool.

I went about making my new mix. Only to find out that I won't install on my usb flash once inserted into the pinsound board.

It goes through the file conversion sequence. Then check file structure check(with the annoying pop sounds you cant turn down) and then i'll hear the load up sound, but the package is not present.

I've managed to get the files created in the "audio" folder, but it looks like the file structure isn't getting added to the .cache file. It also doesn't like the mix in the diagnosis.txt file.

Currently, I have 3 mixes on this 16gb usb. They all work. I've tried a brand new 64gb 3.2 usb but I can't seem to get anywhere with that.

I've taken an old original game sound folder, deleted the sound files and replaced them with my new ones. No go.

The latest attempt - I've batch converted all my .ogg files to .wav and tried that. It went through the "conversion" and then onto the "verifying" stage with the rapid pop sounds, only to take way longer than last time and the pops slowed to 1 every 2-3mins. Ultimately, I had to turn it off after 30-40mins and go to bed. Just checking the usb now, looks like the zip was extracted and moved to the audio folder. Nothing updated in the .cache or in diagnosis.

I've tried deleting the .mix, .cache and tmp folders. Not sure what the config.pinsound holds for data, I assume its the audio settings stored from PSStudio but it's not readable from a text editor.

Anyone have an ideas?

Note: it's a Plus board running the latest firmware.

EDIT - SOLVED: There must be an issue with that "Original" .pspack for WWF Royal Rumble on the pinsound site. I downloaded the zip from the community section and I got things working.
