Title: Donkey Kong Way Too Loud Post by: randywhatson on February 16, 2015, 08:57:41 pm Hey guys,
A few months back, I disconnected my speaker wire from my Donkey Kong so I could play at night. When I went to connect it back, the sound is so loud I thought my speaker (and eardrums) were gonna blow. I turned down the knob on the monitor… tried again… and same results. Even with the sound all the way down on the monitor, there is some harsh whirling/feedback sounds (like if you have a stereo maxed out with no music playing). What is wrong? Is there another speaker knob I don’t know about? Bad ground? Something blown. Please help… the game just isn’t the same without sound. Also, I am a total amateur. So please explain in laymans terms.

Title: Re: Donkey Kong Way Too Loud Post by: randywhatson on February 17, 2015, 06:01:33 pm Well, it works, right? I mean it's too loud, not silent? Is there something on the board that adjusts sound?

Title: Re: Donkey Kong Way Too Loud Post by: randywhatson on February 17, 2015, 08:55:37 pm I saw a similar post about a DK jr. machine. The advice wsa to buy a new audio board repair kit from Bob Roberts. I guess I will have to do that. Is it hard to change one of these out?
Title: Re: Donkey Kong Way Too Loud Post by: iankellogg on February 17, 2015, 09:03:30 pm no it isnt very hard, 9 parts on a small board. I just finished packing 5 orders for that very kit tonight.

BTW I don't care how nice your audio board is, you can still pick up that noise.. a lot of people learned to live with that extra white noise. I went on ebay and ordered 4 EZ20 audio extra rebuild kits filthy cheap. takes about 20 mins to clean up the board and replace all the caps and shit.

Yesterday, I fixed the joystick... a part I broke while fixing the joystick... installed the high score save kit and realized my monitor is an absolute beast, once I discovered the "brightness" knob.
Thanks for the help guys. Title: Re: Donkey Kong Way Too Loud Post by: VertexGuy on February 17, 2015, 09:58:52 pm I tube swapped mine a few weeks ago with a burn free tube.
