| Fixing UMK3 sound problem |

| Psychosylph:
I have a UMK3 with a sound problem. The guy who sold it to me pointed out that 3 or 4 chips (I don't remember the exact number - they're the sound ones U2, U3 and U4 or some such) needed to be reprogrammed and it would work properly. I have no reason to doubt the seller as he was very honest about the machine and any issues it had. So, how best/inexpensively to fix it if this is indeed the problem? Should I find someone to reprogram the chips? Should I buy a programmer? Maybe find an old board on ebay or elsewhere and pull the chips? I'd appreciate any suggestions/links to help me along. |

www.hobbyroms.com stefan is AMAZING. Did it fail any rom checks? |
| Psychosylph:
Nope, doesn't fail ROM checks. |
| Malenko:
could you be more specific on what sounds are giving you problems? If you go into the sound menu does anything not play correctly consistantly? |
| Psychosylph:
Not at the moment; I'm posting from work. I've only plugged the speakers in once and they made a horrendous static-y noise that had me unplugging the speakers after only a minute or two. I don't remember hearing anything recognizable in that amount of time. Edit: Just remembered: The seller told me that sound would work for a while then it would hit a particular sound and file and fail. He seemed to know that it was a particular sound on one or more of the chips that was corrupted? -Shrug- |
