19-in-1 JAMMA board Ghosts and Goblins Weak Sound Effects

I've had the 19-in-1 running in one of my cabs for a while. It's a great board. One of the selling points was Ghost and Goblins, and of course that one seems to have some audio issues. The game music is at the same level as all other games' sounds. The GNG sound effects, however, are barely audible. The sound effect for picking up reward is at the right level, but things like Arthur firing his weapon and enemy sounds are barely audible.

Please see the below video. I set the camera low so it would pick up the speakers well. You can see the issue throughout, with Arthur firing his weapon. At 1:20, the flying knigths come on the screen followed by the woody pigs, and you can barely hear their sound effects.

I tried plugging headphones into the 3.5mm jack on the 19-in-1 board, and it is the same result whether audio is going through the 3.5mm jack or through the JAMMA harness. (The board is connected strictly via the JAMMA harness, for the record.)

I'm guessing it's a limitation of the 19-in-1, but if anyone knows a fix, I sure would love to have full sound working for this particular title on the board.
 
Unfortunately I think this is just an issue with the multi boards. They're generally shit. If you want better quality I suggest going with an arcade SD or something that is better quality.

ok, that's what I thought, but was hoping some miracle worker on here had some genius fix. All other games have no issues, from my limited experience with the originals like joust and defender. Super Mario Bros obviously is a bit wonky, but that's to be expected. All the other old school titles play great with great sound.

I don't see ghost and goblins on the arcadesd gamelist, tho. I certainly would like to upgrade to an arcadesd someday, but ghosts and goblins is a person favorite...but not at the price that the original boards sell for. :/
 
I didn't look at the list. That really sucks. I wonder if there is another option. I mean for 50 bucks the 19 in 1 isn't a bad option honestly. Even if the sound is off. Some of the games on the 60 in 1 are so bad you can't even play them.
