Can someone help me out... just got my WOW working - and I have no idea what the voice is saying - it kind of sounds like Q bert style mush to me. Is this acting abnormal? I have a Gorf and Know what that sounds like - but all of this stuff is inaudiable... Is there maybe something wrong with the voice part?
 
The voice should be as clear as the voice on Gorf. You should easily be able to understand it. Gotta be something wrong with the parts that control the sound.
 
thank you for the sample - yeah I think something is screwed up on mine...
I can record it - but how do I get it to you? Pm me with your email and I will send you a few samples

You could save the files as a smaller size and then zip them. You can attach content to the messages including zip files as long as the zip is less than 97K in size.
 
yeah I just got home from work and the voice on mine is definitely screwed up.
Everything else is there - background and all sound effects etc...
Not sure what could be the cause of it.. or what to do to fix it

Try swapping the SC-01 speech chip with Gorf and Wizard Of Wor....see if the speech issues move to Gorf.....and Wizard Of Wor sounds fine.

A big thanks to Elutz and Don 1400 for helping with this issue...
It started as a question - which turned into a repair issue.

Don 1400 came over and helped me with this - the game played great - but speach was messed up. Don is the type of guy that is like - "ok lets dig into this and figure it out"
well we reseated the boards in the cage - problem remained
we reseated the chips on each board - problem remained
then we took ELUTZ's idea of the SC-01 speech chip... Don saw my QBert project (with no monitor) and said - hey what does that chip say on it (pointing to the speach board)
what do you know - its a SC-01 speech chip....
took it out and put it in my WOW - and what do you know - the voice is perfect!

A big thanks to you guys for helping fix this minor but annoying issue!

also - anyone have a good SC-01 speech chip to replace in my Q Bert project?
