Volume issues in MAME

(1/2) > >>

Hey all!

I'm having two separate issues with my MAME cabinet (first build, nearly done!)

1) Volume seems to be wildly inconsistent between games. Most games are a regular volume, but some are CRAZY quiet. Any way to level them all out?

2) A couple games (NFL Blitz comes to mind, I think there's maybe three or four) are a) really really quiet and b) seem to be playing all sound effects twice. It almost sounds like there's a reverb.

Any ideas on this? Thanks all! :)

1. I've never played with mame volumes. On all of my builds I've installed an easy access inline stereo potentiometer or rheostat somewhere to handle the varying volume differences of the different types of hardware that mame is emulating.

2. All blitz titles are not perfectly emulated in the dsp sound area.


good day.

I'm 100% about those games, but some games, like NBA Hang Time, are super quiet. So, you can adjust the volume in the game itself and/or via the master volume. For NBA Hang Time, launch the game, then hit F2, then go adjust the Volume setting. Not sure if that is the issue you are having or if the game is having issues.

Cheers!

Yeah it's the Midway games that run quiet. even games like MK or Judge Dredd BETA. I don't think there is much you can do about this because MAMEs audio is at max on all the games. The only way to compensate is to turn your AMP or PC volume up.

This.  Its a known issue in the Mame FAQ.  Look at the specific games list and you will see a lot of Midway games have the same info about using the service menu to adjust it on a per game basis.
