So i  have a few tables that are really low on sound, I got Junkyard Williams (1996) which is really bad...

 

now i have Pinvol and while it is a excellent program and i would never go back to a cabinet without it.... , It just dosnt do anything to fixing the very low sound from this and a few other tables... Is it the rom ?? ,do i need to look at the scrpit ?? 

 

Ive gone into audio options in vpx and have turned on 7.1 with the correct options for my speaker channels... 

Ive opened up the rom door and hit vol+  , i have dudes cab setup with the door buttons board hooked up...

 

Its not my speakers , i have 5x7 speakers in the backbox and 6x9 speakers in the cabinet... i have really good amps which when turned up with those speakers are very loud..... the SSF with pinvol on junkyard turned up is very loud ..., just the callouts and background music is very faint.., you can barely hear it...

 

i just dont get it...  Someone must know whats going on...

Great that it worked, also while you're at it do recheck that Pinvol is working correctly, there are a couple of steps like installing APO Equalizer and uncommenting a line in config, otherwise the different volume controls for backglass etc will not do anything, I've had to fiddle with this for quite a while.

Yeah ive upped my backbox to be able to go upto 20db which is insanely loud with my amp and speaker setup....as ive hooked my 6x9 speakers in the cabinet to the 5x7 speakers in the backbox  so turning up the backbox with pinvol is blasting the puppacks , ive had to back it down to 7db , just way to loud...

 

But yeah i had no idea that by opening the door and hitting 9 on the keyboard it would bring up another volume control.... , ive been able to fix up congo now aswell,  that before you could barely hear the callouts.... 

 

im going to have to spend some time and do everytable..., i seem to be getting callouts over the puppack sounds aswell now .., i couldnt notice it before but now both are coming through pretty loud over each other, probably just need to fine tune ..
