Odd sound issue on WH20

[newdos]

Hi Guys,

My WH20 has started having sound issues. Sometimes I boot it and the sound has gone quiet, sometimes I get effects but no call outs, and sometimes it works perfectly!!
Before I start pulling it all to bits anyone come across this before? Suspect cables or chips to reseat etc

Cheers in advance

I'd start with some triple R action...... Reseat Ribbons and ROMS [emoji16]

something similar happened on my fishtales pin too and it was a fuse.

Or caps.Read somewhere that caps on the sound board can make this things.

6.24.5.4 Distorted or slightly "off" sounds




The pre-DCS sound board uses 47µF capacitors as filters in the sound circuit; C15, C36, and C38. If one or more of these caps fail, certain sounds may not be as loud or as clear as intended. The game will just sound "off" with perhaps slightly unbalanced sounds. An amazingly high percentage of these caps fail. It is recommended that if your sounds are a bit "off" that you replace all of these caps.

I would say caps need replaced. Quite a fiddly job.

Just a fiddly as any other board work. Desolder from the back, jobs a fish.
