The stereo output on my ST-V has always been ridiculously quiet, it can barely be heard with the speakers at full volume. Can someone please tell me if this is normal, or is there a problem with my board?
 
Oh, gotcha. No, I meant the normal audio output that was used in the factory built arcade cabinets. I forgot that they have some other options on the board.

The audio on the JAMMA harness is mono.

Can someone please test the output from CN24 on their board. I'd hate to be wasting my time trying to fix a board that has nothing wrong with it.
 
There is nothing wrong with your board, the volume control doesn't adjust the output on CN24. The audio from CN24 is low level and meant to run through a separate amp, it isn't speaker level.

The traces connect to the audio before it runs into the amplifier on the board.

I use the output from CN24 on my ST-V board, but the signal runs into a basic 5-watt amp that I built on a small 1" circuit board with it's own volume control.

I realise that.

I have it going to an amplified 2.1 speaker system. There's obviously something wrong with the board, I replaced the two capacitors before the CN24 connector with no improvement and the signal path is invisible beyond those, so I have no idea where to go from here.

I did. Don't make the mistake of thinking I'm as stupid as you, because I'm far from it.

Do you really have nothing better to do than search for old threads I've made and make useless posts in them? Loser.
