So the first thing, are you running 10.2 or 10.1?  Have you checked controller.txt in the visual pinball\user folder if on 10.1, or disabled b2s in the Preferences, Keys Nudge and DOF if on 10.2?

10.2 and yes have disabled b2s. 

 

 

 

i'm in the same club it works fine in DT on my other setups , but not on my laptop, in ether 10.1 or 10.2
i've tried all the setting and trick.... 
I know it has something to do with our setups, and not the table.....

 

 

My old laptop and my work computer both with integrated intel graphics did not seem to like lights on the backdrop, my new laptop with nvidea graphics works fine and adding a cheap nvidea to my work computer made that one work much better as well, unfortunately no way to upgrade graphics card on the laptops (generally speaking).

I'm going to have to go along with Borg, this seems to be a localized problem stemming back to the end users puter, not global

there's a screw sitting out in space on the left side of the table In desktop mode. Unfortunately there's no volume adjustments for the rolling ball sound in the script and its set so low you almost can't hear it.

Go into sound manager, select the ball rolling sounds and rise the volume. Save, close and reload the table.

Isn't there a volume setting within almost all the ball rolling sound routine

yes, at least any that work like JP's

 

Some old tables just literally play the sound with no correlation to ball speed etc

but anything remotely modern should allow you to manipulated the volume value and even pitch change.

Yeah thats why I thought this was strange. Maybe this table was updated from the old vp9.
I haven't looked at it. I don't really enjoy this one so it's not in my collection

 Example

    'play the rolling sound for each ball
        If BallVel(BOT(b)) > 1 Then
            If BOT(b).z < 30 Then
                ballpitch = Pitch(BOT(b))
                ballvol = Vol(BOT(b))*0.5
            Else
                ballpitch = Pitch(BOT(b)) + 25000 'increase the pitch on a ramp
                ballvol = Vol(BOT(b)) * 5
            End If
            rolling(b) = True
            PlaySound("fx_ballrolling" & b), -1, ballvol, Pan(BOT(b)), 0, ballpitch, 1, 0, AudioFade(BOT(b))
        Else
            If rolling(b) = True Then
                StopSound("fx_ballrolling" & b)
                rolling(b) = False
            End If
        End If

Want ball quieter?

    'play the rolling sound for each ball
        If BallVel(BOT(b)) > 1 Then
            If BOT(b).z < 30 Then
                ballpitch = Pitch(BOT(b))
                ballvol = Vol(BOT(b))*0.025
            Else
                ballpitch = Pitch(BOT(b)) + 25000 'increase the pitch on a ramp
                ballvol = Vol(BOT(b)) * 2.5
            End If
            rolling(b) = True
            PlaySound("fx_ballrolling" & b), -1, ballvol, Pan(BOT(b)), 0, ballpitch, 1, 0, AudioFade(BOT(b))
        Else
            If rolling(b) = True Then
                StopSound("fx_ballrolling" & b)
                rolling(b) = False
            End If
        End If

[unclewilly]

Yeah that was my thought
