Right now, after editing my sound files I have to 1.load the USB 2.start a game 3. Play until there is a file I've changed (which will just be silence in it's place if I changed the file name) 4. Re-start the system I've come to realize that if you change the file name of a wav file that plays early you can save some time in this process. but... Is there a quicker way to have the board check the sound files? Preferably without having to access the physical board (I have a usb patch cord to extend it to behind the coin door already). Thanks for any help.

I have a pinsound plus board that has been on my Getaway for about a year. It has worked flawlessly up until recently. I played it last night and no issues. Went to play it today and all of a sudden it says the usb flash drive is not present. I have a backup flashdrive which I also tried and it does not work. Both drives then were re-formatted using fat32, the original file from this website was used and installed as a zip, and still get the drive not present error. Tried a third stick and nothing. Not sure how overnight it stopped working, but could use some help! Is the board bad?

I purchased the board a few years ago and have only just now installed it in my TAF. I had previously updated the stock speakers to the PinballPro package, which has all three speakers wired in parallel, so mono. 1. Is there a software update to the board that I can install since it was purchased a few years ago? 2. The sound volume is too low. Even when I turn the machine volume to 30, it is still much less loud than it was before I installed the PinSound board. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated! Thanks.

Hello, I just purchased my first Pinsound system (ultimate pack) and I have a problem. The sound card is cycling in the "Checking sound files, please wait." section when I try to load the basic zip files I downloaded onto the provided SanDisk unit. There is a drum and bass guitar playing in the background and a loud pop emanates about every 15 seconds or so. This process just keeps cycling and does not move forward. Please advise.

Is this a common problem? 10 to 20% of the time I start the game, I hear the pinsound board start and give it's chime, but when I start a game there is no sound. I've tried to test if I start the game early or wait to attract mode sounds might come on but there seems to be no pattern. This happens on the JP_OST_Endprodukt package but I am creating a new one and it has consistently been a problem. I have a patch cord for the higher/more stable voltage as the board wouldn't load without it (or very rarely). Any help or thoughts appreciated, J

Hey all, I've been building sound packages for DE Jurassic Park and have come across something strange. In one music folder, the pinsound board always seems to pick the same song. Always the last file in the folder. I'm finding this very strange since it seem like the only (or at least one of the only folders) that does this. Everything else seem to be random. This folder (the System Failure folder) only plays once per game, but I've played it many times and it's always the same. The other folders, seem to be random, even in the music folder. In the System Failure folder though, it's always the last file; I know this because I've changed the order of the …

Installed the PinSound Board v.1 in D.E. Star Wars. It makes the game incredible. Way better than the factory sounds. Sometimes the sound works and sometimes it does not. If the game sits idle and on for awhile then when a game is started no sound. Sometimes when you first turn the game on, wait for the Pinsound start up complete sounds, no sound. Have to re-boot machine. Other times no issues. Wondering if any suggestions.

Hey all, I started another email thread specific to my pinball (Mary Shelley's Frankenstein), but I'm not getting any answers over there. So I figured I would make this question more broad than specific to that game. I'm looking for information on how I can recreate the stock sound package for a pinball into a Pinsound package. I've gotten as far as putting the sound ROMs through M1/BridgeM1 and I have all of the audio extracted. I'll get around to removing silence, looping, volume levels, and all that fun stuff. But for now I'm just looking for direction on how I can create the mapping for the sound events. The stock sound package for my pinball is incorrect, s…

This is my 2nd Pinsound board - 1st was installed in a Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and recently I just installed a 2nd in my Addams Family after my original sound board fried. After installing the Pinsound board in my TAF and loading up the original sound set, just like MSF I'm finding that the original sound set is not correct. It's playing sound clips that it shouldn't, the volume varies from clip to clip, and sometimes the sounds run together and/or stop playing prematurely. This is not extensive, and are just the differences I've noticed after playing for 5 minutes. Can someone please explain to me who is creating the original sound sets and what process they're…

I'm posting as m00dawg2 since I can't seem to dig up my old credentials (whoops). I'm the creator of the STTNG Anthology soundpack and have been working on adding some extras to it this weekend as I finally brought my TNG back to working order. Additions are at the bottom of this post for the curious. In any case, since I last used Pinsound there's now a Studio Pro (Windows only alas) to replace the old studio? Having some issues since Studio Pro doesn't seem to recognize the old sound packs. Anyone know if there is a converter available? I made the mistake of upgrading my firmware which seems to have also reset some of my gain settings and it seems Pro will allow me…

I'm looking for a brilliant solution to the problem of easily identifying sound packages on the same USB when switching by lowering volume to zero. As there is no visual or good audio indicator, and I can never remember where I am in the sequence to count, and I am thinking it needs to be an audio cue. [You can open up the back of the machine, take out the USB stick, read the pinsound-self-diagnosis.txt file and it WILL tell you which Sound Package is currently the "(active)" one, so all hope is not lost, BUT that's a royal pain in the but to do but once in a while. And damned if I am going to keep a "score" card (pun intended) that I tick off each time I chang…

Hi, I received the pin sound ultimate package last week. I installed everything on my GNR Data East pin, updated the sound card with the latest firmware and installed the sound packs preloaded on thumb drive from you guys. On the shaker motor board all lights light up correctly, but shaker motor does not work. I checked the wiring 6 times, and I still cannot get it to work? Sound packs and sound card work as it should but no shaker motor. Thanks, Derek

Hi all. I just installed my Pinsound + and pinsound speakers/sub. I am having issues with the volume. For some reason, no matter what sound package I use, I cannot seem to get any sounds (music or voices) loud enough. I have my dials on the pinsound + board adjusted, and the pin volume set at 26 and still isn't very loud. I have updated firmware, reinstalled different packages and still can't figure it out Also, I try downloading the Hawknole version (it won't download), and I try the Wool version (I saw it on youtube, but my music doesn't start like it does on the youtube video.

Hey guys, New Pinsound user. I recently bought a Pinsound to replace a problematic sound board for a Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. I intend to swap between sound sets, but I definitely favor the original sound set. After playing my stock game for the past year I can quickly tell that the original 1995 sound set that's available for download on this board is very incorrect/incomplete. To name just a few off the top of my head: The "FRANKENSTEEEEIIIINNNN" sound clip upon starting a game is missing The two sound clips that play at game over ("She's dead" and "All that I once loved lies in a shallow grave") is missing Creature multiball is off. It normal…

Hello, I have a Terminator 2 Pinball, when you select a theme, a different sound by pressing "0" you always hear "Way to go!". In other words, you don't hear directly witch sound theme you select. I have made new "Way to go!" files. I downloaded a countdown timer from youtube. Converted that to wav. I cut that in smaller pieces, so you have "One", "two" etc. Then I grab the "Way to go" wave file en made one wave with a lady who says " one" first an than Arnie says " Way to go" The second "Two, Way to go!", "Three way to go!". and so on. It put those files in the first, second etc themes in the "Voice"- map and sub-map "Way to go!" Put those on the …

Bonjour, Je viens de racheter le Simpson de Baptiste. Celui qui vient de créer les voix française pour la Pinsound sur ce même flipper. Le problème est que le shaker ne démarre pas toujours. Nous avons remplacé le cable qui relie la Pinsound au shaker, mise à jour de la P-S mais rien ne change. Tous les voyants s'allument mais la lumière bleu n'oscille pas. J'ai même changé de carte Pinsound+ avec mon AFM car la P-S simpson était la v2.3 et celle de l'AFM 3.6 mais sans aucune différence. Pouvez-vous m'aider svp car c'est vraiment très embêtant. Merci

If I revert my changes with cabling, everything is fine. EDIT- this is now working - I rotated the cpu 😕 yes yes i know - take pictures before performing any work Thanks

Unfortunately, I only noticed today that the sound in LotR does not run correctly. In the sound test, no sound is played in Voice Rom 4. Is this also the case for you and is it normal because it possibly gets the sounds from the pin soundboard? In the test with Voice Rom 1, 2 and 3, a sound effect is played in each test (seems little to me?). Best Regards https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bghyvw552otnarb/AADvZzid7J-tK2OqMno109Mra?dl=0

Hey PS community! I'm new to the owners club and just installed my pinsound into my newly resurrected DE JP. Loving the upgrade but on startup where it usually says 'welcome to Jurassic park' it will play 2 of the voice files instead of just 1. I know I could just delete all but one file in the directory to probably fix this, but I noticed on YouTube vids that other people's pinsound doesn't seem to have this problem. Anyone encounter this problem and/or have advice to fixing it? -J

I recently upgraded to Pinsound. I’m trying to use the Endprodukt OST orchestration. I cannot get the file to work during game play. I know the speakers work because I hear the voice telling me the percentage progress through them. Once at 100%, it says checking audio files. It said nothing else for several hours. I did push the start button several hours after and it plays but without the audio. How long does it take to upload the files into the game? Any suggestion on why the audio will not work? Thank you I’m advance for any solutions.

I mean, I have to setup the sound to 1... Anything above blows my ears - There is a major discrepancy between sound / music effects (at least on the mix I like the most) Adjusting the levels manually in Pinsound Studio is kind of a major pain, hence my questions: - Is there a SW out there that would normalize to a common level all files within a given subfolder - Once the above is done, is there a way to reset all gains from pinsound config file ? Would using the default config file f…

Hey Pinsound and Forum, I own a Pinsound+ for a little more than a year and I was very satisfied with it, but I have a sound issue for a few days now. I built the board into my Tommy The Who. Sound and music work fine on startup, but something like 2 minutes into the game, there's no more sound at all while the game continues. I first thought it was just a loose connector on the sound board, but when I simply switch off and on again, sound is back. Well for a few minutes. Any ideas on what could cause this ? Thanks,

Hi everybody (hi dr Nick!) This is my first time posting here after installing a pinsound plus board in my Gnr, using Julien42's mix. So far, I am speechless about the result: it exceeds what I expected ! There was something peculiar on my first playthrough though : not only did the music change (well, duh!), but also the GI "effects"' on a few mods. Which is weird for me, because I did not know that the GI/flashers were "driven" by the sound board. This is pretty obvious during the Duff Rocks mode: the GI behind the backbox, as well as the "jackpot" flasher of the R ramp, are "pulsating" at the same frequency as the "duff" lamp. Is there somethi…
