I sent my AD main board and the AR I board from an Asteroids Deluxe I bought to Alex at Elektron Forge. He fixed the main board and then told me that the AR I that I had sent him was actually from an Asteroids and would cause the sounds to distort. He said he could do a modification to the AR I so that the sounds would be OK on AD. So I paid him to do it.
I get the boards back and the game plays great but all the sounds are distored.
If Alex acually made the modifications to the AR I, what would/could be causing the audio disortion? I've lowered the main volume with no joy.
If he did not make the modifications, how would I know the difference?
Thrust and fire sounds are just OK not badly disorted.
All asteroids explosions are disorted badly.
The game has a constant, low "hum" sound that modulates a bit with the "player start" flashing on the screen (I have it in free play mode).
Any ideas?
Thanks!
 
Not sure what the mods are for an original Asteroids power board to work but saw the exact same issue with a friend who was running an Asteroids Deluxe with the wrong power board in there. His fix was getting the correct ARII board in there and then the sounds were perfect....
 
Yes. I had an extra AR2-03 laying around, put it in and everything is perfect now.
What's kinda weird is why the AR1 with the mods didn't work...
