Whirlwind- When you start a game, the first sound is “ oh no, looks like rain”. It’s sounds really scratchy but the rest of the sounds are just fine. Is this just the way it is or is there something wrong?

Recap the sound board…

But the only sound bite that is scratchy is the opening line; “oh no, looks like rain”.

Quoted from goingincirclez:

Is that callout still scratchy in the next game started (after the board has "warmed up")?
And what do you mean by "scratchy"? The old-school compression used means none of them are super clear - think lo-fi tape or landline phone. Compared to today's tech, some might describe it as "scratchy". That callout on mine seems a little harsher (if I wouldn't say "scratchy") than the others, but I just figured the high-pitched female voice didn't take as well to the compression. The "Ooh, Millions!" callout is similarly sub-par. But neither is offensively so, if that makes sense.

The other sounds and call outs are just fine. Just that first call out at the beginning of each and every game is harsh/distorted, it’s enough to make you wince a little, it’s almost inaudible. But once it’s over the rest of the sounds are fine. I’m guessing it’s just the way it is. Maybe a new sound ROM is worth a try?
