Hi All,

Question, is there a way to increase the volume for the dialogue call-outs? The sounds are loud but whenever there is any of the characters talking it is barely noticeable. When you start a game and the witch laughs, you can barely hear it. I went into the sound settings but didn't appear to find anything that would fix it. I just updated the code and that didn't help either. I am wondering if there is a lose speaker wire or something but I have the worst luck troubleshooting things on my own and usually end up making issues worse so wanted to throw this out to the masses to see if there is anything I am missing. Thanks in advance.

Quoted from pinballinreno:

There are many adjustments for sound in the servive menu.
You can adjust the percentages there as well a effects volume.

in the service menu, in the "speech" setting, it looks like there are 3 categories, "running - repeat - manual". it says "press ENTER to change mode. Is "enter" the black button, if so, it doesn't do anything.

I checked all the connections, they are good. it has to be a volume adjustment but not seeing how to increase the sound for "speech".

Quoted from pinballinreno:

Do you have the manual?
Its really helpful in learing how things work.
Its on the JJP website.

good call, i only have the cd-rom and don't have a cd drive on my computer. will look on there site. just seems strange that i can toggle between the sounds on the setting board but can't adjust them.

Quoted from coz6:

Pull the ground loop out of the mix speech should go back to normal, then purchase another one from anybody outside of JJ they respectfully did not get a good brand in, they fail often.

thanks, just so you know, i am borderline pinball illiterate, are you referring to the green ground wire? The manual doesn't help, just tells you how to increase certain sounds, but i have done that and checked the connections.

can you be more specific? thanks for helping a brother out, just not sure what you mean by "ground loop". thanks again, always impressed with how much people help. really appreciate it.

Quoted from Rager170:

He is talking about a ground loop isolator. They look something similar to this.[quoted image]

okay, i think i am tracking with you. i looked in the manual, looks like it's J5, which is a 3.5mm audio output for the headphones. if i disconnect it and still play it while i order one, will it ruin anything?

#10085 4 years ago
Quoted from Rager170:

No, i really dont think so. What that does is it prevents humms and static noises from entering the speakers. Personally, I dont think thats your issue but it could be. You just never know with these things.
I had an issue like yours and it ended up being that the RCA's for the audio got weird. A little wiggly push in to secure the connection to the CPU metal box fixed it. Then when i lowered the playfield, it happened again. So I went back and again, secured them best I could and its stayed fixed.
This was just my experience but as mentioned, it could be other things. You just never really know.

Thanks so much for your help. So, I disconnected the 3.5mm cable from the port going into the metal box, and disconnected the ground isolator, went to plug it all back, then realized there are 3 3.5mm ports, green blue and pink and i didn't look before i plugged it back in so then there was no sound at all. lol. so i plugged everything back in, including the isolator, it worked. lol go figure.

I thought since the port in the metal box was pink, i thought it should plug into the 3.5mm pink port leading into the box but it worked when i plugged it into the blue port.

either way, it appears to be working an wouldn't have figured it out without your help so thank you so much. stay safe out there!

#10093 4 years ago
Quoted from Rager170:

Whoops, I didnt read all the way that it worked.. and good, becuase what I thought was wrong haha. Either way, neither would give you a problem as it simply wouldnt work.
Curious, did removing the ground loop isolator fix the problem? If not, you can put it back.

initially it didn't work but it could have been because i plugged the end that is outside of the metal box into the pink port so i reconnected everything back the way it was and for giggles fired it back up and it worked. i had taken the playfield up and down too many times and didn't feel like doing it again to disconnect the isolator. but if it happens again i know what to do. i just got this pin and have been playing it with the sound only half working, now that it works it's a whole new experience. much better.

Quoted from coz6:

Be prepared for this to happen again and with more frequency if not excellent but if it happens again and moving the wires does not help toss the issiolaton device and replace - trust me I almost killed woz over this issue.

will do man, thanks for the insight. will probably order a new one just in case cuz they're not expensive. thanks again my friend.
